Instead of counter attack (or flank) Chinese units run west. You need to choose between bringing new units from Japan and running after Chinese.

My suggestion to Europe:

Germany land, Italy combined.

Italy sends FTR from Genoa to West Med box 2 and initiates combat. FTR from Sicily intercepts to box 0.

Italy sends 2 short range submarines to East Med (Subs stay on bottom. One to initiate combat, another to initiate combat on Allied impulse if they bring new CP there after successful Axis impulse). 2 submarines can stay in reserve.

Italy has 2 organized NAV's in CSV.

Hopefully Gibraltar goes OOS because both CW HQ's are disorganized. If attack fails, von Bock, Graziani and Ju52 can be used for reorganization. Most likely we get one more impulse (If they use full pass, 20% for turn end).



Asia:

Japan get 20:4 (-2 odds, +2 from disorganized units) in north if they move INF NE from Sian.

Instead of counter attack (or flank) Chinese units run west. You need to choose between bringing new units from Japan and running after Chinese.

Gibraltar is still in supply. I think the best option is send 3 of the 4 Italian subs to CSV. One good search roll and the wolves are among the chickens. Without the subs, a good search roll still means the lottery of air combat (possibly on better terms if surprise points are used but still a lottery).

Don't lose sight of your future Pacific goals and actions around the end of this year. If no strategic or resource/factory gains can be made, don's let China suck Japanese forces deeper and/or add even more units.

Find your final defensive line, attack to get it, and then switch to defense in China. Withdraw most of your WP units for use on important Pacific islands/resources/objectives.

After this turn you have one more realistic turn in the south. 4 more in the north.

Of course ideally you want to DOW US/CW prior to the US DOW on Japan. I'm not sure where the US entry is at the moment, but a good time for Japan can be S/O'41 as Japan will do a super-combined...which will help with a final offensive vs China in the north. Of course, weather in ALL zones will have a lot to do with the timing of that DOW+super-combined as well.
