Good point. I would assume that the US will use subs, so I'll have to crank out destroyers with anti-sub research. What aircraft improvements do you reccomend?

<t> My initial plan was to darw the Russians away from the Germans initially, and play a squeeze game over the long haul. I suppose its a good time to think about the Americans. I'd rather they are not able to take mainland Japan.<br/>

What's my best bet? I was thinking fighter/bomber range ...

So I am not totally screwed? Good. I'll redirect my productions efforts immediately. What the best bet for research at this point? Straight up infantry improvements?

So I shouldn't be wasting money on tanks, is what you are telling me?

I am trying to pull the Russians back to protect the east, allowing Germany to go to town.

<B><s>[b]</s>Turn 1<e>[/b]</e></B>, I attack China and take all coastal provinces. <br/>
<B><s>[b]</s>Turn 2<e>[/b]</e></B>, I created supply, and put some tanks in the queue with research artillary, and tanks. I also move a lot of my island artillery ...
