please use the 2nd post, I misplaced 1 infantry in the first.

man I am not used to defense of Europe at all… looks pretty bad… Germany already buying fully defensively in T5 already, Japan not much progress towards the victory either… the new Chinese rule has quite an effect… it binds a lot of Japanese land units that could be used elsewhere in the OOB game…

Russians NO’s are pretty annoying also… if Germany does not pay attention it is easily an extra +7 IPC/turn for Russia… which is huge… so from the very beginning I thought Germany has to invest fully in land units, no fancy naval or bomber purchases… also I tried a late DOW to minimize the time Russia gets those extra NO’s money, still Russia looks super strong…

now UK/USA starts to be pretty annoying in Atlantic… not sure how long will I be able to  fend them off

Please 1 small non-combat edit (shall not interfere with your Russian planning) 1 mech from W Germany into Northern Italy.  Hope it is fine. cheers

man, Japan is tough… attacked wild on all fronts, enemies’ income is just no match to mine, annoying Siberians … you were probably right I should have cleared them last turn, at least I would have 1 front less to care about…
