Investing even more on sea, but if you don´t fight Japan anywere else it is harder, because Japan starts the game with 20 planes and for each carrier bought, Japan increases 4 hits in defense or attack on sea. The story changes when you have finished your planes to load and you need buying them.

I think your main areas for improvement were with russia, the 7 inf + AA did nothing in neither front + you had a clear attack option in SMO 2 rounds ago, I made a severe defense mistake there, you did not use it and then you made one yourself. The game was there.

You played well in terms of blockages, and may be not so good in Pacific in terms of transports efficiency, your superior IPC (Anzac + USA)  were compensated by Japan more efficient use of transports on sea. I did not buy anyone after round 1, killed yours and always protected mine.

Good game in any case Sir, was hard winning you.

Smolensk, Germany was defending with 7/8 less units than the potential russian attackers, I made a mistake not taking Persia with 1 italian mech and when you moved 1 french inf I had to move 2 mechs and a fighter + tac to the area, and I did not count defense in Smo properly, but the 2 planes were needed!!! I just forgot!!, you had a very good chance to attack there, TUV was positive for you and that would have made very eficient your multinational russian + british troops in the area (once Germany had been reduced in army size, the issue here always is about making Japan or Germany not so big, so that multinational allies can fight, so as a general rule every attack option with 50% and TUV 0 or near it should be used by the allies, in this case TUV was >0 for you)

If you wish switch sides, we can continue playing now, otherwise I will search for a new opponent.

yeah, normally you would have saved most of your air and eliminated all my troops there.

I will be alert for your german start.
