Finally could move to Belarus now that Germany has fewer planes.  That usually means victory for the Allies, but we shall see how things proceed.

I am getting my butt kicked by JDOW playing allies.  Japan is struggling and I can’t contain China while holding onto the Money Islands.  I need to come up with a new idea of winning for the Axis.

Sure, lets start a new game.  I will be gone for a week starting on Friday so we might only get through a few turns before taking a break.
