Continued:
The carrier builds with Japan have forced the USA to respond for fear of losing the game after a possible success in Europe. I have to maintain some degree of balance or Japan will run away with the game. I see Japan retaking the mainland or India if they focus on it in the upcoming rounds. Anzac may be able to hold. If I lose 2 VCs I have to be able to secure one of the mainland ones with China. Time will tell.
Japan is successfully delaying America. Economics will need to change or it will get bleak. USSR has a few options based on what Germany does.

The convoy zone in 37 is not counting Shan somehow. I’m not sure if that happened on earlier turns.
It looks like it was counting previously on turn 3. I dunno.
