The last two (?) turns the US is up to TL (2), so it has been sending me 4 PPs via the Far East Convoy.
Early on I was pushing the Factory builds to get the extra cards and to set myself up with extra production once I was at war.
That took away from extra infantry builds. I was also pushing the armor and fighter builds to get the cards, but also have the heavy equipment in place before war broke out.
I figured I could come back with infantry later. Now I am scrambling to get enough in place. From the pics you can see that I am paranoid about the paratrooper threat, but that strategy decision is going to have to change.
I wanted to defend forward in Kiev, but later decided that I just didn't have the numbers to make it happen. As such I had three mediocre forces of which the center one got crushed.
My "less than" abilities in the nuances of land warfare are going to be my down fall. I need the numbers to be in my favor to make up for my lack of flair. Eric is going to fully exploit my flaws and put the game into a position where Dan will bring in the Japanese and blow out past the winning VP total.
