Why? I wouldn't stop this any more than I would ask Erik to not use his air force, which is powerful in ways that I cannot match, since I lack control over production. These are just features of the game, well known, and we're both employing them, the best we can. And Erik could counter the move using his navy, but that's been pretty much used up already, so he's in a tight spot, which isn't unusual given it's 1945. The Japanese lead is 11,000+. I think it's "shrunk" about 1,000 or 2,000 points over the past three months, during which the Allies have been (according to my reckoning) remarkably successful in taking the Kuriles and Wakkanai and (almost) Kushiro. Erik is managing the points aspect very carefully and effectively. If I ceded on of the few Allied strategies that's working (by my reckoning), the game would last until about 1957. What you're asking is akin to a baseball manager saying, "Mr. Kershaw, please don't throw your fastball any more" after loading up his team with Rafael Palmiro, Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, and Mark Maguire.
