brit battleships spring 1942

in spring 1942, what was the brit situation? i reply to the game which did not represent "spring 1942" as claimed, neither in territory  as i will explain nor in battleship number and location. differences in border: as french axis on the west coast of africa that truly shot at allies, and similarly madagascar french axis until late 1942, and moscow truly north of east half of black sea not north of caucus mountain yikes... coulda magnified black sea.  in terms of "representing" 1942 brazil still nutral until 1945 same as mexico and more. also fly isle called new guinea not yet captured by japan in spring meaning march 31 or even may ! this beside my criticism of "too many territories" in pre-industrialized siberia, considering north part of  ball, only critic for war border as above.
similarly equipment not match spring 1942 as demonstrated:
LIST groups
groups in may 1942:
BEFORE=2 sunk
1, barham sunk nov' '41  "before". 2, prince sunk 1941 "before" by jap
AFTER=3 after may 1942 only 10 to regroup.
3, anson "after". 4, howe after, 5, val repairs so "after".
NILE rr: 6cent' with 7queen two ba' north coast of nile river,   [indeed no marker in game there same as eastern coast of kenya].
GIBR' 8, nelson, only one, far from 4 no marker in gib! game unjust! 
TEMZ rr four, [8+4=12 of 15]
duke temz, with king, malaya, rodney temz 4 ergo "justice same as not nuf" for jap marker in nan rr. so include in transport which needed ba'.
even if stretch: one marker for "4 in wrong place" still not 2 markers for brit and certainly not any in gibraltor so better no battleship marker for anybody just include in transport which needed ba'. similarly no marker fuji for 3 defenders not enuf kuz if marker meant 3 then by midway jap TWO MARKERS for six! plus third by nan for three indicating "3 too few" both nile and strait too few. too scatterd and ganges even march 21,  3 too few same as not "three" 3x3 to jap. also due to repairing u.s. ba'march 21 before repaired some and before one came westward thru panama canal less for u.s. if so maybe no marker for u.s. so best none for anybody include in transport marker.
GANGES rr 13warspite, only one kuz 2 left westward on april 9. if spring means "march 31" then 3 not enuf and 4 jap by nan so game correct no marker for either side.
KENYA+2=15 res'+r.s. 2 same as north coast of nile "not enuf" and less than jap by nan rr. 15 too scattered to be significant.
in alphabet-order:
anson "after"
barham sunk nov' '41  "before".
cent' with queen by nile river delta
duke temz 
howe "after" 
king temz
malaya temz
nelson gibraltor [for malta kuz italian transport no ba' marker for either]
prince sunk 1941 "before" by jap
queen by nile river 
res' april left ganges rr for east coast of nile continent
rodney temz 
r.s. with res' april left ganges rr for east coast of nile continent
val' repairs orinj rr=after
warspite ganges rr
total 15v too scattered to be effective so no marker same as "jap none in nan", if 4 in temz enuf then 4 jap in nan deserve. if wrong place still only one for brit not 2 so best no marker for anyone and certainly not "4/6 probable success." despite many guns in history we see ineffective so probability 2/6 include in transport possible to succeed but not likely and certainly useless in amphibious as we saw in pacific.
