Incredible.  I didn’t underestimate them, though, brought in 4 infantry and enough air to almost certainly not give them a second chance  :-P
Had a lot of trouble with Russians lately…. had one survive 53 pips of attacking power before I finally killed it.  That’s right, 53.

Japan fighting USA
Incomes roughly equal, TUV roughly equal

USSR and UK fighting G/I
Incomes roughly equal, TUV roughly equal

Europe assessment:
Advantage: Germany
Income and firepower are superior to UK and USSR separately and neither Ally presents a credible offensive threat, however the UK fighters will no doubt defend Russia when needed and it will probably take many rounds for Germany to exert her advantage effectively.

Pacific assessment:
Advantage: USA
Japan still reeling from a naval battle disaster, is fortunate to be able to take the Phillipines bastion, temporarily tipping IPC income in her favor, but the USA has a building, imposing fleet.
Advantage to USA because Russia/UK/China have joined forces and are creating a 2 front war for Japan while USA is 1 front.  But will USA be drawn away to aid her allies in Europe?

Stay tuned!  Every decision and die roll weighs heavily!

Oh, that’s right, I hadn’t moved your infantry in Africa because it was impossible to get to FEq.  It’s in Congo.

Now we’ll see if you take advantage of the Far East catch to destroyer block me in the Pacific.  Conveniently, your bomber is in range of Z5 too.  Whoo…

Sure would have sucked for you if my bomber had beat yours.  Curse of the clever didn’t work for me this time.  :-)
