Ok, I see I have made my first mistake. I let you destroy those infantry. Should I have moved them to Buryatia?

Yeah, I’m not sure what to do with the Chinese. As for the Russians, I think that sending infantry to Moscow just hastens the defeat in the east. I don’t know why the strategy guides suggest sending it west.

I will take my turn later. I am pretty brainless right now (should’ve slept hours ago).

Ive done the same, itll work fine. :)

No scramble. :)

I am at a loss to figure out what strategy might work. Your Japanese fleet is impervious to attack. All it has to do is sit there (or pop over to Japan if I threaten Japan) while your Japanese units grind India and Russia from the east. America cannot build fast enough soon enough to threaten Japan or the japanese fleet.

Your strategies in Europe are really throwing me. Italy+Germany vs Russia is very hard to defend against.
Normally I am used to Germany vs Russia and Italy vs UK-Africa.

I think I have lost this.

At some point I would like to discuss defensive strategies that I could have used. I am not sure how I could have held onto Egypt. Normally I don’t lose it (at least, not before Russia falls).

Is America devoting too much to the Pacific arena? Normally, by this time I would have a major american fleet hitting Europe.

I forgot to move your destroyer, and I accidentally hit ‘done’ instead of ‘post’. I hit post at the start of Japan’s turn instead…I hope that is ok.

Thanks for the edits. I so didn’t expect the attack on Egypt from your German aircraft. I don’t think Egypt is going to hold. Oh well.

I would have left the aircraft in Russia with the Novgorod infantry going to Archangel and the units in Ukraine would have been placed in Bryansk.
If that would have changed any of your italian moves you should of course do that.

On the other hand, it almost feels like cheating. I screwed up. I leave it up to you.

Oh, and thanks, I didn’t know about those.
