My OOL for Russia will be:

aa guns, inf, bombers, rt, arm, rus ftrs, uk ftrs, us ftrs.

Where did all of our units go!  :-D

Good game and well played too!  That was a fun game.  :-)
Yeah, if Japan stayed in a little longer or if Russia fell a bit sooner the Axis had a chance. 
Lucky for me I was able to get to Japan and get the US rolling.

Thanks!  And thanks for the games!  It is good to know some US strategies from Revised or AA50 might carry over.  :)

That is the hardest part, trying to limit Japan’s moves to where you can predict where they are going to go.  It gets a little easier if you force them back up north.  And depending on the situation the US can put reinforcements off of the West Coast and you can try and trap the IJN that way.  Your pressure on Russia was too good so I had to keep my main fleet close to the Asian coast so I could get ftrs to Mos, but if you can take a few islands and have Ftrs + Carriers you start to get an incredible range in the Pacific with the US.

Sometimes the J navy will escape to the Med or Atlantic which can be good for Germany, but without the ships near Japan the US can then start landing on Man or bombarding Japan to wear them down.  You can also use SBRs to limit J’s income if you have them boxed in and go after Germany if Russia is in trouble.

Yeah I’d be up for another, but I might not do a turn until the weekend.
I’ve been the Allies in the first 2 so I’m open to either side.  I’m open to a bid or if we want to do a Russian bomber game or even another straight up game.  I guess it depends on which side do you want to be, should we go third game same sides maybe add the Russian bomber or should we switch up sides?

Sounds good.  Let me think about it.

I was thinking about it and I wouldn’t mind giving the Allies another go if you still have time for another game.
