Status: offline 		A pity you can’t promote some Guards Banner Armies yet in MWiF. Right at this point they would start to be the rocks that tip the scale of true strategic initiative over to the Russians on the eastern front. Which will become an increasingly big place for Germany, as reinforcements must deploy elsewhere now. von Bock’s could be the first German Army to be beaten, rather than von Paulus.

Yes, that would be nice for the Soviets. The allies definitely have a tough slog ahead of them. Forget about winning the game, I'm not sure they'll be able to defeat Germany and Japan no matter how long this conflict goes.

Japan. Home Islands. Japan has a lot of troops in their home islands that they would like to deploy to China and Malaya/Burma. However, IJN's sea lift capability is limited with 1 transport group sunk and 1 transport group under repair and available next turn.

Status: offline 		I wouldn’t count the Allies out just yet. Smaug still has weak spots, and he is about to somewhat reveal a new one, no not the now-will-never-be-built Atlantic Wall, but one quite close to his war driving Arkenstone crown jewel hex. Non-traditional Allied lines of play can really drag the Eye of Sauron around to too many places to rail high quality troops to, and the next thing you know, those pesky Cossacks are running around all over the place, Stalin’s clever Left Behind dudes start multiplying like ants, and who knows, the USN could end up sailing a Sea it has never fought in ever before, and the USMC might be able to add some new lines in their song after “the shores of Tripoli”. The Aussies certainly wont want a re-run from last time however. Maybe Tito will come through with some more helpful disruptions now too, as the PART machine starts doubling its random output.

Sorry to conflate two different Tolkien-esque villians. The bad guys other weakness is too many different hired mercenary forces. The Westerlings and the Orcs and the remnants of Sarumans lost troops just can’t fight well together, and Patton could destroy any of them with one pearl handled pistol still in his holster. A trick is to sometimes not drive on the capital of the mercenary force that no longer has an air force, making them a perpetual weak spot in the line of Orcs. What would really confuse Mordor is letting him have The Boot back, with all those Nazgul parked there and not enough air missions to move them around much.

Patton, though, needs the Warren Tank Plant to really start cranking out the product.
