I think I may have the Pacific map figured out finally.
America controls the Japanese pacific fleet but does not try to invade (except to retake Russian territory in the far east), they keep sending a steady stream of fighters to Russia.
India does it’s best to stay alive and to threaten any Japanese units in China from the south.
Austrailia builds an invasion force to retake the islands as needed when the american’s clear the path.

Well, I rolled the dice.

So what is your take on the strategic situation right now?

I agree that the Allies will probably grind this out, but I think the Axis has a lot of life in it yet. If you want to start a new game I am up for it.
