Island hopping is great, but its not critical. Sometimes just having a presense in the region will do just great. This is how I build my fleets…… My flagships are my carriers. They are great for defense and their fighters can support amphibious assaults. I will have no less than 2. I then will support my fleet with destroyers. I try to build 2 for every carrier. If you build destroyers and in order to get more bang for your buck, get combined bombardment. This will increase your amphibious firepower drastically. Basically you’ll be able to do the job of a battleship at half the cost and twice the firepower. Then build the rest of your force out of transports and a couple of submarines. If you use this fleet right, you will have everyship being productive on every aspect, offense, defense, and logistics. Your maximizing your money and strength. Lets take a fleet of 2 AC’s, 6 destoyers, 2 subs, 4 troopships with 2 tanks, 2 artillary, and 4 infantry. You attack the phillipines with an amphibious assault. the 6 destroyers should pretty much wipe out all opposition. But if not, you have 4 fighters and all the ground units to clean up. Battle should be over without losing anything. Your fighters land for fleet defense. Basically you have a fleet that can hit hard on land and sea. Your enemy will think twice before hitting you.
UK units on US transport allowed to make combat moves?

Assume I have loaded 2 UK inf on a US transport and then in the US turn I moved the transport to the seazone next to Ukraine. Can the inf on the transport participate on an attack on Ukraine in the following UK turn together with other UK units? Does it make any difference if Ukraine is empty and the units can take it alone?
-
Yes they can. Infantry can unload from a transport (their own or an ally’s) on their own turn, whether into a friendly territory, or as an amphibious assault into an occupied or unoccupied hostile territory.

They can only unload during the owning players turn. You can’t “bridge” with Allied TRNs i.e. load and unload UK troops from LON to WEU via a US TRNs in the same turn. What you have described is how it works empty territory or not.

As Thorak posted it, it is a legal move.

The infantry can participate in an attack on Ukraine.
You do not have to unload both infantry during combat, although you may if you wish.
It makes no difference as to whether or not you unload infantry if Ukraine is empty or not.
