I’ll post the result. A couple of mistakes by me at the end helped you win this one. I see the merit in the Japanese ignoring China and coming west - that enabled the win.

[variance]

Thanks Simon, it was a good game.

Too painful to watch. If I hadn’t have moved the Russians away from the RAF in Finland, might have gone down differently.

Nah, it was a good game. Fast game too, lots of fun.
