Assuming no scramble in WGR. I had overwhelming odds in the sea battle and even if you miraculously win you’d have 3 fighters less defending WGR in order to prevent 3 ground units to join the forces.

[strategic planner]

how does an allied victory work? I’m not really sure, as I can tell it is fast approaching. I am not sure what ettiqute there is in conceding victory, how does that work? I do not want to weasel or wimp out, however I am more than willing to concede an allied victory. Germany and Japan are basically as good as done.

[JDOW]

Actually Allied victory means capturing all capitols, Berlin, Rome and Tokyo. However there is no need to drag it out until this happens.

Conceding at the point is more than appropriate.

Thanks for the game and good luck in the league.
