You know, if you were Japanese your generals would consider harakiri now.

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?

Also, the US is in no position to fight both Japan and Europe. And Russia is certainly not able to hold out against Germany and Italy for long (I may remind you that they get outproduced 3:1)

Correct China income (down to 16).

Actually I should have rolled with 1@1 (4 inf), but since neither hit we can let the combat stand. Yunnan taken with 2 inf, 3 art.

Russia can hold out for a long, long time…  8-) And the US can re-deploy into the Atlantic in an instant.

Sorry, I meant to move the US forces to Sz12, not Sz27. New map attached.

And I just saw that I overlooked the sneaky blue-in-blue French cruiser! Would have been a nice opportunity to get rid off the little buggar. But then again, who cares about the French! :-)

NB that Italy ALONE now can outproduce Russia.

Italy out-produces Russia - precisely, do you think it’s going to march and take Moscow?

First Blood (ANZAC&France5).AAM

[tinydictator]

Nah, but my point is that Italy and Germany together have some 115 IPC per turn. And approx. 80 IPC of those will be sent against Russia - every turn. All I need to do in the west is to place some more infantery in Gibraltar and the UK regularly, and those guys are cheap.

Listen, I’m going out now, so I’ll do my next turn probably only very late tonight or tomorrow. No need to wait in front of your PC. :-)
