[Cow]

Well according to the dice the axis win. Close game guys!

[Cow]

Why did Japan refuse to go for the win in the Pacific? That is what is lame about this game, the axis had the odds to win it and the axis passed up on it.

Now an arbitrary ruling comes in and I can see it going either way.

@Cow:

Why did Japan refuse to go for the win in the Pacific? That is what is lame about this game, the axis had the odds to win it and the axis passed up on it.

Now an arbitrary ruling comes in and I can see it going either way.

You are special and smart and we all know you would have done it perfectly.  If you had run the Allies they would have dominated and won and if you had run the Axis you would have dominated and won.  We all know you are very special.

Not every game of Global should be designed to end in 7 or 8 rounds.  Yes, you can actually play a great game of Global that lasts 15 or more rounds. The Axis should not be forced to play a game of quick gains and a VC rush.  They can, in fact, play a strategic, methodical game designed to continually make gains in territory and strategic positioning.  Here, the Axis have in fact taken ground and focused on holding that ground while consolidating their forces. The only ground lost by the Axis in this entire match were gains in Russia on the Eastern Front, which the Axis traded successfully for Gibralter, Spain, Egypt, South Africa, naval dominance in the North Atlantic (z110, z112), air dominance in Europe, and all of China.  While all this was occuring, the Axis also gained the dominent position and strength in the Pacific without losing ground anywhere on the mainland, but while gaining ground.  In the next 3 rounds, the Axis will be rewarded for their patience and will only increase their lead in IPC production, territory gains, and strategic positioning.

[boldfresh]

Dutch probably could have pulled off the pacific victory already but wi convinced him we should have some fun in the middle east instead.
