despite your departure from the Pacific the USA stack in the middle east is creating a bit of a problem for me……

@JWW:

I think its one of the few ways you can legitimately go all Europe with the Allies in a semi long term game.  I didn’t really have a choice in this game once I got pushed out of the Pac, but stacking in Per is good from a positional standpoint, so it was just trying to get there with enough US troops.  I did luck out a bit a turn or two ago, when you hit trj (I think) and cleared but didn’t take.  That allowed me to land the US ftrs there for defense to hold for a rd or 2.

Minimally I think the Allies need to get to Trj or Egy.  You can’t give Japan free reign of Afr (while you are also ignoring them in the Pac).  It can be too hard to take back once it turns all yellow especially if they can hold Egy/Trj.  But I think Per is the best bet if you can get there.

not sure how loing you can hold PER. I thought you would eventually send the stack into CAU/MOS.

[DarthMaximus]

Yeah, it might be too late this game, and Japan has pretty much unlimited resources at this point.

Falling back to Cauc and Mos is always an option.
