So I’ve been running a few different opening battles through Skelly’s odds calculator in regards to the Global '42 scenario.
Japan seems to be able to attack the India, Hawaii, and Solomon fleets on J1. The fight off India (assuming a scramble) has the worst odds at 60% success rate, but if it works you look awesome. You could also take a chance on the ANZAC cruiser at 50%.
I wonder if anyone has tried taking Alexandria on G1. It’s a very powerful move if you can pull it off.
The naval combat has a 50% chance. If you do kill the cruiser and land, that beefs the land fight to 75%. Flip a coin, anyone?
The Battleship off Scotland can be saved easily with a destroyer as the bid and a plane from Leningrad. I didn’t come up with it, I’m just saying.
Italy all depends on the UKs battles, so no point in speculation there.
