    Regarding your edits. Normally I would not allow an edit regarding Build/Placement. However, since you had no rolling combat for the USA you could have just deleted the game and started over so I will allow the revision from mech to artillery and 2 infantry to SS.

    In the future if you are going to make a revision to Build/Placement please restart your Turn.
