Yes, I think your assessment is right on.

The kill ratio has to be very much in the Axis's favor to overcome that. The Axis had a one time bonus from Turkey entering the war, but even that has a downside: It gives the Allies another front to attack on. Of course the whole front has a terrible terrain, but it is not someplace that can be shut down like the Allies seem to have been in France.

To me this games feels like the 10th round of a heavy weight fight where both opponents are throwing punches that are landing, inflicting and taking punishment, and feel that they can win.

Actions. Japan - combine, Germany - land, Italy - land.

IJN. 2 Naval Moves.

1) CP + 2 CVL's to Bismarck Sea, 0-box to restore supply to their naval base at Truk.

2) 2 CP's to China Sea to restore Japanese convoy lines and increase Japanese production. Still, Japanese convoy losses have hurt as their are 3 non-oil RP's that they now don't have the convoy capacity to get to Japanese factories.

Euro-Axis. Eastern Front (2/2). Middle East.

Of significant note, the axis lift their sieges of Stalingrad and Astrakhan in order establish a coherent defensive line protecting their large army group closing in on Baku and pushing into Persia.

Weather. Looks like the Western Allies will get one more crack at Japanese convoys in the South China Sea and their supply convoy in the Bismarck Sea.

Actions. US - combine, Free France - combine, Great Britain - combine, China - land, USSR - land.
