Game4 Caribbean no forces.7z (383.15 KB)

For a few turns in a row Im getting not enough forces in the Caribbean for the battle.

Iv got BB, BC, CVL, CL, DDs in the area. Da heck isnt all those boys enough? Its happened several turns in a row and a few reloads. So Im sending the save file up here for look see.

edit: list checked:
My USA: 2 BB, 1 BC, 1 CL, 1 CVL, 3 AV, 14 DD, 7 KE

Russia: 4 BC, 2 CA, 8 CL, 1 AMC, 9 DD

definitely lopsided but a possible battle?

It's just happened to me trying to invade Kamchatka. I have 142 strength in the area and Russia has only 2 corvettes, but the invasion has been "delayed to due insufficient superiority". Russia has a CL in west africa but the rest of their forces are blockades in the Baltic.

What's worse is this is autumn and soon the weather will turn bad. I'm just worried that they will collapse and offer me territory that doesn't make up for what I'm about to invade.

Unfortunately, your CVL, CL and 5 DDs were on convoy escort duty, your KEs were all assigned to minesweeping or sub-hunting whilst your heavies - escorted by the remaining DDs - were on patrol in the wrong part of the Caribbean. Thus there were no forces available in the area to combat the enemy.

Although I agree it shouldn't be every single time.
