Took 2 inf in Egypt. Edit, if you think differently.

[Ghostglider]

I surrender.
Thank you for a good game.

Sorry that I did not have time to play this one more round in January - so again, thank you for your patience.

[JDOW]

I have to admit, I can’t believe the Axis turned that game. 8 turns ago or maybe even 10 (when half of Europe was green) I was wondering "Why aren’t the Germans surrendering? Germans are hemorragous.

Then there was this big Norway battle. Would Axis have resigned if this would have gone bad?
But even after Norway, Americans constantly had >100. Could they just buy like 8 fighters each turn and bring them in 2 turns to Egypt?

Gratz ME1945, great turn around and I underestimated the German potential with Russian being taken out!
