You forgot Russia’s money (+18), and you didn’t park your two bombers - I placed them in CF Persia with your other air force. They seemed versatile enough from there, but correct if you’d like, unless it affects something obvious on my turn.
That should have read C Persia.

An interesting round! If my forces perform well, I’ll continue, to see what the late game looks like when getting smoked by Japan. If I perform poorly… there’s no point!
A good round for the US.
I messed up on Normandy and gave you 3 rolls at 2 instead of 2… so I just took the first 2 rolls.
Place 7 Infantry on E US; Fighter, Armor, Infantry on Spain; 2 Artillery, Infantry in S France; 2 Destroyers, Transport on SZ10; 2 Infantry, Fighter on W US.
Collect 68 + 20 NO = 88 IPCs.
I looked back, and an actual placement for your Japanese bombers seems like Novosibirsk. The map has been changed accordingly.
Britain purchases 3 Infantry, 5 Mech Infantry, 2 Destroyers = 45 IPCs.

Ok - nice work - I surrender.
Seeing Germany at 68 IPCs after taking and holding Southern France and Greece and Romania was just too much for me. I believe I allowed 5 separate Allied fleets to be annhilated, and still took this one to Turn 21… quite a game. I need to cut down on my fumbles and interceptions.
That having been said, you rose from the dead, and played well, and played an exquisite economic game… one thing you’ve really excelled in is exploiting NOs, and using subs well as convoy raiders.
And your Japan play was great - sure there were a few mistakes along the way, but they were minor in the bigger picture.
Friday I’m the Axis! I’m looking forward to it… I’ll have the board set up, and plan on taking Germany’s turn as soon as you walk in the door…
I cant wait!!!
