Thanks for all the comments.
In fact, you give me the impulse to go beyond AA50 set-up and try to make a more adapted 1941 setup for Redesign and this 1942.2 map considering history too.
For example, I tried to delay any u-boats attack on US until Japan has made its Pearl Harbor attack.
That way, US is driven into war at an “appropriate time”. Keeping U-boats in Med, North Atlantic SZ, near coastal France SZ and Baltic. That way, all u-boats are beyond 2 SZs from East Coast SZ. So, any attack on US will be on G2 at least.
I saw that Malaya was empty on my set-up (because it was a new TT on 1942.2), but there was an historical battle there, up to Singapor, so I added 1 UK Infantry (and wonder about giving 1 more Infantry to FIC).
I voluntarily not use the M3 for Transport (mainly simply because I was working on a AA50 1941 adapted setup at first). It is a difficult matter with Japan being 3 SZs from India.
But, who knows? maybe you can find some good things about.
For now enjoy all the new options you get with it.
You will see that Subs are powerful but Destroyers and Fgs and TcBs can still make them a hard time.
The anti-sub patrol works preemptively and after, any unsubmerged subs can be hit by planes anytime.
In fact, on G40, we exclusively gave it to TcB, not both planes.
Tell me more about your experience when you feel ready.
I looked into your saved game.
Very interesting exploration.
You made an interesting purchase for Northwestern IC: a carrier!
Being able to do a Sea Lion or to prevent it is something which needs to be analyzed. Too much on one side or the other can make for an unbalanced setup. (Building a good air fleet is probably a must to deter a Sea Lion…)
I didn’t check for this in my earlier tests, I always built up a South African IC.
But, you clearly announced where you were going with Italian Fleet.
Do you know what can be done to increase Gibraltar value?
Something like, only Subs can travel via Strait if Gibraltar is not taken?
I noticed a kind of premature move for Australian Cruiser trying to protect Hawaiian Battleship.
US was not technically at war, so why bother transferring Infantry to Hawaii?
M3 TPs and Cruiser give quite a blast on your first round: capturing France and both money islands!
In all my simulations, I always sacrificed the Battleship to delay East Indies capture.
My Australian Cruiser deliver 2 Infantry on it.
My US and UK subs were able to blast both IJN TP in Borneo and New Guinea.
Subs are quite kind of wild cards when able to submerge and wait for attacking…
With M3, I would probably move Cruiser and Battleship near Borneo, it makes for a harder target.
But you can also wait for African Carrier to join the Australian Cruiser…
So many options, hope you will have as much fun as I have while I tried it when Barney had posted this file.
