Allies just didn't win any battles, kept coming up on the short end.

Poland/LowCountries/France --- Those blue French pieces did notta, Brits so-so to below average

The plan: British went full-out on Bombers (built an extra) and Transport tech.
USA: Heavy Maritime Bombers, Strategic Bombers, Long Range
Russia: pray for snow
India: Tanks

Battle of Britain --- Sucked, RAF Fighters took a lashing from Luftwaffee.
Battle of North Sea --- British Carriers and Bomber were trashing Norway soft targets, with full intent of landing. Kreigsmarine kicked my ass outta nowhere one turn. I didn't lose any Carriers, but the German surface ships had upgraded Level-2. My shelling had to be obvious to counter. Didn't expect. Royal Navy took off, small loss.
Operation Torch/Tunisa/Malta --- Royal Navy showed up, and later the USAAF. Lost couple carriers ports of Malta. Americans lost fighters freshly operando into Tunisia. Medium Bombers from Sicily were waiting for me. This sucked, another Battle loss.
Egypt --- I won this, but too slow. Had the battle won, but near end lost 2 units for no reward trying to cutoff Italians, didn't need too. Dumb.
Battle of Atlantic --- With the other losses, the Kreigmarine were free to raid Murmansk. this sucked.
Operation Husky --- Yeah, I took Sicily, but once again, no momentum with Fighter losses.
Middle East --- Another pile fight at Jerusalem, Allies didn't win the battle. Got sand weather on key turn.

Marshall Island / Tarawa --- Was an exchange. Lost couple units, killed a couple. Grab couple islands. But wasn't winning, I count this a tie, thus win for Japs.
China --- My opponent was building ships and Maritime, so China survive. I didn't do anything special nor did Japan. Stalemate here in 1944. Advantage Japan.
Burma --- India came in with the Tank strategy. Couldn't get a good punch turn. Actually forgot to reinforce one turn, really, really hurt. Slight advantage Japan.
Invasion Korea / Hiroshima --- With the stalemates, had to try something. Landed sneaky around to Korea. Need the Navy to come help, but they were taking Battleship hits. Ended up losing this Battle.

Russia --- Complete drain-o. Watched as the Reds got worn to shreads. Don't think I ever killed a unit. Russia was finished January 1944. Made dumb move at Leningrad to get myself cutoff, so stupid. Stalingrad, Moscow, Rostov had forts, but they just got ground to powder. Same with Urals. German Army experience was just too much. Harry just ran a football scrum front line. Corps on the outside, experienced Armies inside, with Artillery. Tanks would finish off the position. If the Western Allies had better plan, The Reds could have gotten saved. Didn't happen. USA/Brits air powers were unorganized.

Allies did nothing but lose every battle by a little bit, and it adds up.
