@oysteilo:

This has been a good game!

I think that with the income advantage, the Axis will be hard to be stopped.  I would probably call this one but it is up to you.  We can call it, keep playing, or start another.  Just let me know  :-)

[oysteilo]

yeah that is what I think too. It is nice if you can give me some feedback on the biggest errors. Personally I think

1. Russia was never able to grab the middle east/africa income (A choice I made, poor)
2. Maybe too much spending in the atlantic? (however i give germany some trouble?) would maybe work better with 1)
3. Maybe I should protect hawaii and east indies better with USA, it drains a lot of energy
4. I have big trouble with gibraltar (can this be done diffrently?)

Definately I am up for another game! Good game by you though! (It will be sort of the same pace as this if ok?)
