I believe I made it too easy for Japan with my bad decision to attack SZ42 with the US earlier on - and to stick to it with the other nations. Without that, the US could have spent more on the Pacific side. And the defense of Moscow was badly neglected, expecting Germany to go straight towards the Middle East. In any case I am a bit clueless how to treat Germany’s black skies. I would need loads of fighters, and the UK cannot afford this alone. And I did not manage to make ANZAC play a bigger role.

Your victory on the Pacific Board is inevitable, and I concede. Very well played - thank you for the lesson :-) Good luck in the next round - it will be more challenging. Maybe later this year, we can have a re-match with switched sides.
