I must state for the record, that Triple declared me the winner in the Pacific.  I do believe they are in error; I need to hold the 6/8 VCs for an entire round, meaning this one.  therefore, I will win if the US cannot take back Hawaii, as no other VC is in danger in the Pacific.  The calculator says you have a 17%.  Good luck!

Well, you’re right in your interpretation of the rule, but I’m not sure that the game is wrong.  Japan took VC6 (phil) round 6; if you hold it until your turn again, you would win.  Frankly, I missed that you had gotten 6 cities, never seen a pacwin before.  Russia can’t liberate a VC, so when Japan 7 starts, wouldn’t that be a full round with Japan holding 6 cities?

I’ll wait for your reply.

[Whackamatt]

I always played one full round from when Japan(Axis Player) gets enough VCs, meaning on Japan’s turn, I win.

I recently read a different interpretation of the rules on the forums that confused me.

Triple A is wrong though, as I wouldn’t win until Japan’s turn, as I just took the Philipines last round.

So good game!

[Seador]

I agree with you on having to hold it for a full round of game play, nation to nation.

I think the only thing that can confuse the issue is that you don’t have to hold the same victory cities for a full round, you just can’t fall below the threshold at any point.

I’ll post the win for you, nice game.

Never seen a pacwin before?  I do that a lot.  I believe most people don’t know how to play as Japan and that they’re one of the more difficult nations to play.  Others have it straight forward.

[Seador]

I agree with you about japan. I lose more games because Japan sputters out than because germany fails

I find japan can do one thing, but they need to win on two fronts to win the game
