Alfred: as always 1+!

Thank you Alfred and everyone for your most helpful comments. Much to read now.

Remember, in India, the biggest port is Bombay (level 6 at start). All surplus from the Indian economy (fuel/oil/resources/supply) flows to Bombay. You should have tons of supply in Bombay in April, 1942. Bombay is the best place to hold defensively - divisons defending it will be constantly in supply.

In my games Madras beats Bombay by a lot. It depends on how you play, what you build, where you base.

I was just referring to the default on-map situation on Dec 7,1941.

Both the OP and your post I replied to specified April 1942.

Alfred - I would like to stay on your good side and not be thought of as one who provides bad advice. When I stated that "Slim... would help more if prepped for Dacca", I was referring to post #4, when the unit was at Dacca. It is my understanding, that if a headquarters is within command range and he is prepped for that location, that he provides a bonus to that location.

"75. Gameplay Change: When calculating the bonus for land unit planning for a target,
the land unit and its HQs (corps and command) must be planning for same target to
get the full HQ bonuses."

I understand that your comment referred to the battle in the non-base hex.

Even if the 18th had remained at Dacca, no possible assistance from Slim would have been forthcoming.

Read this 2014 thread where I explain in considerable detail how the land combat HQ bonus operates.

To potentially get the full combat bonus defending Dacca, all 3 units ie Division, Corps HQ and Command HQ needed to have Dacca as their designated target. The closer to 100% prepped for Dacca the more likely the bonus would ensue. The HQs would also have to be within range too.
