The eastern front is secure. Minus a major screw up on your part, Russia will start holding German territories in 3 turns. Germany has to spend too much to defend the west. Once Russia holds Poland/Romania, and Russia/uk/USA hold Norway, it’ll be over for Europe.
Japan will corner China shortly, and has a decent shot to grab India, if i play it right, and have favourable dice, but wont be able to secure the last victory city prior to Germany’s fall. Or before Russia with some support from uk will be able to contain and slowly wear down Germany while the us is free to spend 90% on japan.
A great tool in TripleA is that “player tap” on the right column. Gives you a break down on each countries income and total unit value, as well as by axis total and allied total. You are up by 80 ipc’s per turn, and currently have 500 more TUV than me. That economic advantage combined with a positional advantage in Europe is nigh impossible for me to overcome.
We can most certainly play out another 2-3 rounds so you can see the effects - but you hold a full house against my pair of 8’s. The sinking of my Italian fleet sealed the deal - I had hope before then. Now reinforcement of gib is impossible. Morroco is secure, so a harbor there just allows you to leave the gib forces to rot while you take norway. Your Indian navy forces me to send some navy to help take India and protect the money islands, preventing me from threatening hawaii, which allows you to continuously build up the us/Anzac forces in the se pac area.
In short - it’s 1944. You can just slow grind me to nothing.
I lost the initiative and the positional advantage when the German fleet was sunk, as that was my main drive turn 1-3. I had put it all on position while not improving my economy, so when position was lost, I had no way of making it up.
