@dawgoneit

Alright, I concede. You played very well, and thanks for playing.

Lol, I was already lost by turn 4. I played way too aggressively. Should also have handled Japan a bit better, to be honest. I like how you gathered your naval forces with the US and UK in SZ 12 near Gibraltar, to threaten the Italian homeland and take away that NO for them.

If you have any thoughts regarding the balance, optional rules, or anything, feel free to let me know.

I’ll let you know my thoughts as well:
I think the Strategic Bombers are a bit too strong if the Fighter Escorts and Interceptors rule isn’t implemented. It’s so easy to build a massive stack of bombers, to threaten lots of territory and sea zones. On top of that, it can deal serious damage by bombing the crap out of one’s factories. The US and UK can take out Germany’s economy with a stack of bombers, and the Germans and Japanese can seize the Russian economy. The Escorts/Interceptors rule can prevent this bombing on a massive scale.

I propose we do a rematch where we swap sides, with the exact same ruleset.

Hope you enjoyed the game. I certainly did!

@victoryfirst sounds good to me. go a head and set it up the way you want it.
I’ll play as many games you want and any version. i love playing.
