@FMErwinRommel Whatever you decide you’ve been a great opponent! Even though Germany was dwindling, you never let up on pressuring Russia. I think Surprise Attack mentioned you guys are playing. I bet you’ll beat him.

Combat Hit Differential Summary :
@FMErwinRommel The heavy air losses of the allies this turn, offset the -95 TUV of Japn the prior turn. From UK24 to UK 26, each sides total units declined 95-97. During that period, total Allied TUV in excess of Axis TUV grew by +43. This roughly equaled the 20 or so income per turn advantage. So, battle losses for the 2 turns were roughly offset each other. At one time you said that the U.S. had 59 planes. At the end of U.S. turn 26 combat, the U.S. only had 24 planes left. And excluding 7 plane builds on turn 25, that means you lost 42 planes in combat in 2 turns.
The current situation is interesting, but still highly unlikely for me to win. It took the Germans, Italians and Germans a second time to take Greece. The odds were for an overwhelming victory after the U.S. was worn down. But the Germans took heavy air losses. This prevented them from sinking the Allied fleet off of Italy on the next turn. With Germany having an I.C. and naval base on the Med to threaten wide-open Africa, it could have been a game changer. With the convoy blockers sunk, Italy could have built tt’s to take out the Rus controlled terr and thus denied Rus a significant cash flow similar to what Ger lost in Nor and its N.O. Ger no longer has planes or the cash to build enough new planes and ships to take out the allied fleet. And Japan no longer has excess planes to spare to provide air cover.

@Desert_Admiral It was a mistake for Japan to have retreated most of its dd’s and subs to the home waters. Japan’s has lost its dice touch lately. 50/50 in Celebes and you won. Sum and Java defenders inflicted no hits. I can build tt’s this coming turn, but can’t invade until turn after, while you can keep re-invading. And ANZ is getting more cash.
@FMErwinRommel Yep
@Desert_Admiral Ignore all those dice rolls. Trying a strategy in a solo game, but it kept your email in it.

Ger has a better chance of breaking out in Europe than the Japanes have in saving their islands. Rus has 4 Jpn controlled terr and W. Ukr to recapture, but only 2 mech units to do it with. The Brit mobile force can retake some, but after Jpn collects the cash.
