After guving it some thought, I’m gonna go ahead and concede the game t this point.  I made some spectacularly poor decisions, and you perfectly used them to your advantage.  If nothing else, I have learned that Sealion is still a viable strategy.

Good game!

[Toberwhompus]

Good game!

I had a bit of good fortune early and was able to exploit a couple of missteps.  If your Taranto raid had gone even average, Italy would have been looking much weaker and Britain stronger.

Let me know when/if you’d like another game.  I’m away from the computer for a few days this weekend, but free after that.
