I have not the faintest idea on how the US should be handled properly. Is there a hidden DOW button somewhere. Or is it simply not more than what I do anyway…

[Most Holy]

I think you just round the corner. Maybe if I took the 10 IPC spot you would be in earlier? But you still have to get there. weird situation. Maybe you walk into the Declaration territory? I’ll post move in the morning.

The US is supposed to capture the “US declares war” territory, and that gives them a 10 ipc factory right next to Europe. So, the US runs the gauntlet of the Atlantic once then their supply lines are shortened for the rest of the war, increasing the impact of their entering the war.

I think the time for throwing in the towel has long passed. Well done. Truly there was no recovering after Berlin fell to the Russians. That was my biggest mistake although there were many more. Thanks for the game and I think this is one that’ll remain on the shelf for me. I’m looking forward to A&A 1914 whose map looks way less confusing.

[lexgreat]

certainly a game full of mistakes on both side. I think I just had the easier nations, at least this is how it looks to me.

Thx for the game, was uncomplicated gaming with you. GL for the final one.

[Most Holy]

Good luck to you next round as well. LotR is another game I have no experience with so that should be fun. I did look at the map and it looks labarinthean but not overly complicated. Should be fun.
