11L '41 DM (Axis) vs. Extra Billy (Allies + 8) +NO, No Tech

@Karl7

I’ve been staring at this map and I don’t think there’s a way to prevent an Axis victory over the next couple of rounds.

I wanted to see if patience, positioning and “theatre shifts” could alter the course, but the economic power of the Axis can’t be stopped.

Well played. I think I’ll concede here. I’ll post the result.
