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.

I don’t think the Soviets can hold out much longer.  Everything in this game pretty much hinges on the dice rolls at Ukraine.

You are an extremely good German player, very patient and precise with your limited resources.  You are forcing the Soviets to make some very rash decisions.  Nicely done.

Java is a graveyard for the Allied fleet since the entire Japanese air force and navy can attack.  You usually need six loaded aircraft carriers but a support fleet to move in there.

@Arthur:

Java is a graveyard for the Allied fleet since the entire Japanese air force and navy can attack.  You usually need six loaded aircraft carriers but a support fleet to move in there.Â

It is especially bad when you only get 7 hits with 6 fighters, 1 BB, 3 CVs, 2 cruisers and 2 DDs.  It appears I need to wait longer to take on the entire Japanese navy.

[innocentbystander]

I totally screwed up the US turn.  I built 3 tanks to place them in Southern France to defend it (and any planes that survived the Med battle) from Italy.  Of course the instant I liberated France, I cant build in Southern France.  Duh!  Scratch 3 US fighters.  Probably shouldn’t have them anyway, I totally wasted the Italian Navy, you got one hit.

So now I have to go a whole hog bet that Germany can’t reconquer France on Germany-6.  I was going to be greedy and blitz the British tank through Normandy into Holland but I think I need to leave it in France to defend it from the Germans.  So I’ll have 9 inf, 1 tank, and 4 fighters defending France from your entire Luftwaffe.  The way I see it, if (IF) you can defeat all 40 Soviet pieces just West of Russia AND reconquer France (and grab all the free money) all in the same turn (got to do both), I will concede.  But I believe that I have learned quite a bit from my first game of A&A 1940 Global from my second game.  I think my Mediterranean play vastly improved.
