The French Antilles are selected while the campaign looks for another French territory to attack in the Caribbean. The warship tonnage already present is checked before distant ports are searched for light cruisers and destroyers that can reinforce the operation. A scattered global fleet becomes a pool of mobile strength that must be located and concentrated before the invasion reaches a 100 percent success chance. The simulation shows how theatre access and force concentration constrain amphibious plans.
