Only minor readjustments to positions are made this impulse in the bad weather and lack of enough resources in the Med for the CW to do much.

RE: A global wat - 2
May/Jun 42 Axis initiative, impulse 1 all fine.
Germany land, Italy and Japan naval.
Japan did not DoW USA, preferring to take a naval action to position its ships and invasion forces knowing that the US has not rebased its fleet to Pearl. The only US SUBs that cold be a problem are in Midway.
Germany ground strikes Kalinin - 3 disorganized, Bryansk 1 of 3 disgorged, Kursk 1 of 2 disgorged, and Kharkov 2 disgorged. Germany had fithers in range for any Russian intercepts if needed.
The attacks all worked nut Kharkov left 4 German units disgorged.
SE of Gomel the sole Russian left in the woods caused a German Div lost and all attackers disorged nut the pesky Russian was destroyed.

The Russian front with the attacks on Kalinin and Kursk shown, both are high odds attacks.
Both cities fell but Kursk caused a German Division lost and 6 units disorganized. HQ Guderian reorganized 4 units.
Japan's attacks on the Philippines were both high odds and worked with no difficulties.

Did you consider converting this to a retreat? Given Limited Overseas Supply and Oil, you might be able to keep MacArthur stuck flipped in the Philippines for a very long time; alternatively, you could wait for the end of the impulse, when the Philippines will be conquered, and then the next shatter result will kill MacArthur, since he won't have anywhere to retreat.
I thought I knew how to play this game....

No, I did not consider converting the result to a retreat but that would have been an interesting way to keep him out of action.
