@FMErwinRommel:

Jpn now has 27 ground troops in China/SE Asia vs only 25 for the Allies.  Jpn is outproducing ground troops and can bring back more air support.

It’s now Allies with 34 ground units east of India and not inc. AAA vs Jpn 25 and a much less significant Jpn air superiority if Persian factory keeps pumping out figs. I hope i wasn’t overly aggressive in Hunan but will be costly if you want to take either it or Yunnan and thats if you ignore other areas.

No

Allies still have a hefty PU advantage at the end of round 8 but not much to show for it.

Sort of tempting, but no

It’s frustrating for me seeing your bombing raids go so smoothly when mine get shot down frequently vs shadowhawk even though i only use 2 at a time instead of 3.
