Basically you attack with 2 FT and 3 INF vs 2 inf and 1FTR. You have 2 more units and your 2 fighters can pack a little punch. Statistically I believe you end up winning this battle with 1inf and 2 FT left most of the time.
You also use your sub from AUS to attack the jap sub
take out the transport in SZ 59 the first time I did this I moved my whole fleet, DD, AC and TRAN after the fight I landed my 2 planes on my carrier.
What this does is forces the japanese to choose between the american and british fleet leaving one alive, in this case he left the americains which i later used to cause hell.
The only thing i would change is I would maybe leave my TRAN in SZ 49 instead. This blocks the japan transport from bringing troops to FIC and the navy at the caroline islands to join the battle in SZ 59.
Now if the japs want to retake FIC they need to use inf from kwantung, most likely 2 if they dont want to loose a ftr, which makes it rather difficult to take china also.
I then place my 3 arm in India, or if i didnt have it to start build an IC there and place 3 ARM there every turn. With the americains I build an IC in sinkiang. Both the india and sinkiang IC are backed by russian inf and i load up bury with russian inf.
I was able to push the japs off the mainland pretty quickly and the americains took care of all the little islands pretty much reducing japan to barely any income.
The 3 tanks in india on turn one really helped but i think it would have worked without them. Thoughts anyone?
You said you attacked FIC with 2 Ftrs. The first one must be from the carrier in SZ35, but where is the second one from? The Egypt’s one? That one can not fly to FIC unless you commited Kamikaze. In addition, that one is usually killed in GE1.
