6 Transports + Fleet in SZ 36 gives me the option of hitting Philippines, Borneo, Celebes, Java, Sumatra, Malaya, FIC, Sham State, Burma, Guam and/or Dutch New Guinea
6 Transports + Fleet in SZ 33 gives me the option of hitting Midway, Wake, Hawaii, Jonah, Solomons, New Zealand, New Guinea, New Brition, Guam, Philippines, Dutch New Guinea, Java, Celebes, Borneo, Queensland, New South Wales, Nothern Territories, W. Australia
Having your fleet split in two is hardly going to let Australia or India sink all your transports or even half your transports by any wild stretch of the imagination. You don’t have the equipment, you don’t have the positioning and you don’t have the income to justify this.
Also, the question was what was the biggest jump you have seen. The first time you play this game it is very hard to notice all the little things that can happen to you or you can do to the enemy and what the long reaching and short term benefits are of doing them.
What I stated was seen (once) and is perfectly legal on J4 to happen. I did not include builds in SZ 6 which, in theory, would also be able to hit Midway, Wake, Hawaii, Guam, Philippines, Aluetians, Alaska, British Columbia, Siberia, Amur, and/or Soviet Far East. I also didnt include any inroads into China (mainly because I evacuate China, I would rather have Calcutta or Moscow than Beijing)
