I don’t buy it. It doesn’t excuse USSR to be this weak. The only conclusion I can come up with is ether they didn’t test Germany vs USSR enough OR they wanted USSR to be this weak.

Just finished Turn 4 so another update
Japan took out the allied fleet in the Suez Canal and took back the Money Islands.
US and UK about to join forces this round.
Us took Tobruk from Italy with everything that was in Morroco.
Lonely Philippines
Us builds first fleet in Pacific in response to Japan Turn 4 build
UK going to retake Suez
Two lonely Brits in the Urals
And, UK breaks Neutrality by invading Spain to give US an easy entry to Europe
Suez Canal is open!
Spain is secure and all 4 planes land in Normandy
Italy was looking so strong but now US is on their heels.
Italy sends its navy and entirety of its airforce from Syria to take out the US Med fleet
Italy going to spend 3rd straight turn attacking Suez
Can opener only 3 turns from Moscow
Italy took out fleet and looking great.
Italy takes a VC
The can opener looking good, 2 moves from Moscow
ANZAC is getting bored
France has been shockingly active all game and helpful to the allies

Germany took a VC. It’s a race to whether Moscow will fall first or Berlin. I feel Moscow will fall, but Egypt will be gone by then. Playing all countries like a maniac (save Anzac) is so much fun and constantly alters the board and coarse of the war.

Japan Turn 5 still on the offensive but also going defensive for eventual US invasion. China is no more. Starting last turn I totally threw away stats and went inf vs inf and so on, in China. Worked.
-
End of UK Round 5. USA and UK have a large army in Holland. Germany two turns from taking Moscow. USA and UK planning to take Berlin in two turns. I’m gonna have to look up to see other people’s experience with both capitals falling same turn.

End of Italy Turn 5Helping fortify Germany
Finally picked up this NO (forgot to move him last turn so took two)
I was initially going to abandon Egypt and go into Africa. But then I realized that’s a victory city and I need to fight for it. So I did. Had two fighters in Southern Italy - reached 4 spaces and will land in Egypt.
Can Opener is ready for Turn 6
-
@dazedwit Oh crap, no NO. Didn’t realize US still owns Tobruk

End of Turn 5
USA ready to ship more units to Europe. I forgot to include South America - Turn 5, Anzac conquered Chile.
Germany starting to crumble, but Italy brought all of their inf up over last two turns to fortify West Germany. This is the picture I’ve been waiting for. The London fighter left turn one and helped France take back Southern France. A turn later it flew to Norway to help UK defend its new acquisition. Turn 4 it flew to newly conquered Spain to help defend it. And now Turn 5 it’s back in Paris!!! One of the Foreign Legion survived to and is now in South Africa.
Standoff in the Suez. Italy activated the 2 free units on Mozambique (thanks UK for invading Spain). Used the tank in Alexandria to take off the USA marker and back to Alexandria.
Middle East pretty open now
Italy’s can opener could have gone better - took off the AA and 5 inf. I bumped it up one round because Berlin is in trouble and I need to take Moscow now, so I can race back west.
No China
Japn planning bad things
Japan still planning bad things
USA still building Pacific fleet. Still can’t go to Hawaii because Japan will erase all the boats.
