Okay, the most important turn of the game for the United States.  I think the mistakes I make here could cost me the whole game.  Now there are probably a few things that I could do that could win me the game, but I don’t know.  nothing looks…. obvious.

I don’t know if I got TOO aggressive too quickly, but I have to help the Soviets out by opening a new front in the Europe (before its too late.)  Of course there will be some massive naval battles next turn, but I have carriers grouped better so I am better off now than I was last game.

Java is a graveyard for the Allied fleet since the entire Japanese air force and navy can attack.  You usually need six loaded aircraft carriers but a support fleet to move in there.

It is especially bad when you only get 7 hits with 6 fighters, 1 BB, 3 CVs, 2 cruisers and 2 DDs.  It appears I need to wait longer to take on the entire Japanese navy.
