Another difficult move against JWW - this one took me a long time and there were many mind-changes.  A&A sure does stimulate the mind.

yeah much thought is needed at this point……to many options…you could just give up? Knocking out the axis is really a balanacing act unless your opponet gets awful early & frequent dice and makes mistakes…

I think it’s time to pull back from Asia and the pacific and go full throttle on Europe.
