I'm not a master tactician or anything, but it feels like having your capitol surrounded like that is a bad thing.

Well, less than optimal turn for the Fascists. The Italians are doing about as well in Greece as they did historically. The Germans are bleeding around Moscow. Wonder if it's worth it for the Italiasn to bring some of their BB's around for shore bombardment.

German dice luck is finally slowing down... They've been able to amass such high modifiers that even poorer dice typically just stall out the attacks rather than making them super costly, but stalling is just what the Soviets desperately need. Inter-American combats remain hilarious by contrast. HQs are definitely making a difference there, alongside the rising force levels, but just compare to the Russo-German front.

May/Jun 1942 - Production Phase Now that we've determined everyone's available resources and factories, including losses to strategic bombing, trading, etc. you proceed to build units and move things down the chain.

Jul/Aug 1942 - Political Phase It is the Political Phase of July-August 1942 Each country gains money ($) equal to their build points received in the last production phase. China has -10$ UK has 15$ France has 6$ Germany has 20$ Italy has 12$ Japan has 15$ Soviet Union has 10$ USA has 28$ Each nation can spend a certain number of bid points, which are used to determine who gets to go first. The formula is BID$ + Bid Modifier = Initiative score. Highest initiative score is 1st, then the rest slot in behind in descending bid value order. 1st place last turn gets a +4 bonus to their bid, so staying on top costs less, or at least forces your opponents to spend more. Any country that did not get to play a card automatically receives BID points equal to their Political Effectiveness. Once the initiative positions have been determined we proceed to playing the various political cards. All cards in a nation's card pile are available from the start, as are International cards. However, not all cards can be played without the pre-requisite being completed (see the beige box in the top right). Any cards with the word "PLAYED" on it means they cannot be played a 2nd time.  As more turns take place, and more cards get played, we'll see even more re-alignments and shifts in ideology. Should anyone wish to suggest a card be played for a specific nation, I invite you to peek at the cards below. Just let me know what the card's "code" is (seen in the upper left box) and I will attempt to work it in. Note that its best to aim for a specific goal so you aren't just wasting money and time. I may veto the truly outrageous ideas, but I want to keep that to a minimum. Lastly, some cards may not be played simply because the turn ended before they had a chance. There's a bonus to your next turn bid to help with that, but we'll get more into that later. Chinese Cards  Commonwealth  French Cards  German Cards  Italian Cards  Japanese Cards  Soviet Cards  USA Cards  International (All players/Common) Cards  Politics will be actioned today or tomorrow.

Bunch of bombing done to not a ton of effect. Guess this shows that the Italians don't have great planes. Remember to mark off Ukraine for the Germans! And I guess all those volunteers will be useful for garrison duties/meatshields. Looks like Japan has lots of advancing into empty space going on.
