US is doing fine.  China is (surprisingly) fine.  USSR is fine.  ANZAC is doing okay.  But Britain (both Europe and especially Pacific) is taking a terrific beating!!!

Your lone destroyer shot down by Strategic bomber.  Neither of us missed.

China is going to be completely unitless next round with no possibility of help from India or Russia.  The big weakness for Japan is the loss of the money islands.  That is a major blow to the economy

On the European side, the capture of Egypt and the Middle East is a massive economic swing for the Axis.  If I can get to the Caucasus, the economic advantage will be huge.  Italy is already getting 33 PUs a round, which probably exceeds that of the UK.  Russia, though, is getting quite a bit of money at the moment.

Okay, the most important turn of the game for the United States.  I think the mistakes I make here could cost me the whole game.  Now there are probably a few things that I could do that could win me the game, but I don’t know.  nothing looks…. obvious.

I don’t know if I got TOO aggressive too quickly, but I have to help the Soviets out by opening a new front in the Europe (before its too late.)  Of course there will be some massive naval battles next turn, but I have carriers grouped better so I am better off now than I was last game.
