[Witt]

Agreed. It is never over until it  is over.
It would seem I am winning on the European side and you on the Pacific side. But I have more units!
You need to spend more to capture my islands, so are at a disadvantage.

You really are not very lucky; I am sorry!

[innohub]

Haha it’s alright.  Would you mind if I try another strategy?  I just got an idea…

[innohub]

I made a different arrangement - not sure still if this is better or not.

Sorry for keep making change.  I feel pressure right now :-(

[Witt]

Fine
Might not be able to do my go today anyway.

[innohub]

I considered myself losing once already  :-D  I think if I continue to play with the 1st version, you will win quickly as your Germany is gaining ground while Japan is getting his income back.

Now see if my change could change the history…

Hey, I forgot to move my submarine as well as some other pieces so I did some edit.  Please use the latest one.

You are good!  I feel I start to lose the Pacific side as well…

I am glad you spotted that lone TT of mine. I realised your Ft could reach, but left it as I felt stupid forgetting to Combat Move the TT that second time.
I was after South Africa at first, then thought I could block Persia, then thought I would move to East Africa. Too much thinking can sometimes do you in! I noticed you could reach afterwards.
Enjoy the moment: there is nothing more satisfying than sinking an unprotected Trannie.
