In a game we are playing I have as a GE landed more then 50 PP in England and Washington, New York +1 have joined the WA.
I suppose that will wake up Atlantic fleet to? And if it does fleet consists of how many ships... I believe 1 or 2 CV II? 7 BB I and...
Does anyone know this so that I do not have to start another game and skip turns only to find out?

I don't remember the exact number of BB I and Crusier I it has, but I do know that it has 2 carrier II and 10 DD I

its very close to 2 CV II 5-7 BB I and 3 or 4 Cruiser I with 10 DD I.

That's interesting, I wonder how he decided on the Fleet totals? I'm working on this in my own scenerio and it's a tough call because while you know historicaly what we had... You have to play "what if" with fleet deployments if things in Europe took a different track. Also for stuff like that you don't know exactly when the event might occur....so if you are looking at what the Navy historicaly had availble to deploy...it'd be different if England gets hit in '41 then if it gets hit in '39.

If I remember right the only things of note we had in the Atlantic in '39 were the Ranger and 3 older battle-ships (Arkansas, New York & Texas) and a handfull of destroyers? We moved some stuff back over from the Pacific after the War heated up... although I think the Ranger was still the only carrier permanently assigned to the Atlantic before Pearl. I think there were actualy a couple more in the Atlantic at the time of Pearl but they were newly constructed and either on or just coming off thier shakedown cruises.

I think our strategy was based off the assumption that the Royal Navy would pretty much handle the Kriegsmarine surface fleet... and it was really only the U-boats or a maybe a lone rogue raider that the USN would ever have to deal with in the Atlantic....meanwhile Japan was seen as the real naval threat. Interesting to think about how a real Sea Lion might have effected that thinking.
