I think I am going to lose this, I have lost control of the Pacific when I allowed you to capture those islands. I waited too long and should have attacked your fleet sooner.

I disagree, I have lost momentum.

Japan cannot maintain a land force while at the same time building ships against the Americans.

Germany is just barely holding on.

I should have had Japan block you with a destroyer to prevent you from taking those islands. I didn’t even see the problem.
I should have also had Japan build ships instead of the last turn (or two) of mech infantry.

Germany should have set up to attack Moscow last turn. It would have forced you to keep your fighters and bombers at home and thus prevent them from retaking E. Persia.

Ultimately, I screwed up a couple places. From here on out you will grind the Japanese down and following them, the Germans.

No, not giving up. Just discussing. :)
