Edit. I grabbed all CVs and moved to Philippines. Needed 1 to land planes. It was an oversight, and moved to Sumatra to cover

@sovietishcat Thanks! GG. These 2 games have had a unique twist with the Russians trying to push into Japan early. I’m not sure if it was useful or not. The Japanese made short work of the Russians and it greatly helped the Germans as there was nothing to worry about from the East.

But the Japanese were hamstrung for the rest of the game. I simply just built a regional power that seemed to shrink and grow fitfully. It did ensure that Japan did not DOW J1, but Japan always has a hard time winning the game (for me anyway). So I wonder what would have happened with a less aggressive Russian push. – Impossible to know, as the game would have completely different character. Strange how 1 move changes the game so much.
