Here’s the correct map.

Delete the sub in the Baltic, I forgot to.

[tinydictator]

And as with every monster, some good guys will come and kill it. Or, in this case, some bad guys. :evil:

Honestly, your stack in Bryansk is impressive, but I’ll still be able to take and hold Leningrad. All I need to do is retreat in the south and possibly send some reinforcements (you can’t pursue too far or you’ll leave Moscow undefended). And if you haven’t noted, there will be no US-invasion anywhere anytime soon. Btw unless I get very unlucky, your remaining forces in the Pacific will be crushed now.

The idea to place a factory in Iran is nice - I had the same idea for Egypt anyway.

But now, Japan!

Darn! That went not too bad for you: 3 hits out of 3 units in sz39, and the probably most annoying thing is that I actually got into Yunnan! That was supposed to be a hit-and-run operation…

Your Japan turns alternate between the lucky and unlucky… I think you might look back at this as the nail in the Pacific. The DEI money and the ICs have come on a little too late. You really thought I was giving up on the Pacific?
