Well, probably the choice that had to be made. The 4 oil is far more valuable to Japan than the 10 convoy points are to the CW, but the CW getting those extra 10 points at this particular time is going to be a shot in the arm. The US setbacks are very bad news for the Allied cause however. With die rolls like that, they will never enter the war unless directly attacked.
The other thing is considerable damage has been done in terms of what the US can do for picks. I think most of the important ones got picked, but I don't know for sure. The US may well be in trouble in terms of trying to up the tension level again to get to the point where a DoW is not such a heavy risk. They are at the point now where if they try again and fail, it may be a long time before the US can get into the war.
The Germans appear to be making progress in the north, but the south looks pretty strong and Guderian is going nowhere against double stacks in the mountains. The Axis plan is going to have to be to cause Russian casualties somehow in order to thin the fronts down in order to give weaker spots to take advantage of.
The Russians appear to have a pretty strong front against Japan as well and while Japan needs some land forces elsewhere, they really can't afford to move any facing the Russians. Do the Japanese have some troops still committed in China they can move out, but just have not had a chance or are they down to the garrison minimum? They will get a few more units in the build pool for 1942, but it won't be until into 1942 that they will see additional land units. And of course, since its Japan, they need to be building everything else in terms of naval and air as well.
Enjoyable as always to read through this one. Thanks for doing it.
