@allweneedislove:

if you happen to be around and want to finish this real time, log into triplea online.

For those watching this game: I’m logged in right now, and we are playing. The U.S. just lost its West Med fleet to an Italian attack. I was careless. :(

Further update: Germany delayed its Iraq attaq by a turn. It elected to build exclusively air units, presumptively in preparation for an attaq next turn.

ANZAC liberated India. Japan collected zero IPCs after blockades. But the loss of the U.S. West Med fleet hurts. A lot!

Italy attacked the West Med again, after it had been heavily reinforced. Italy sacrificed its fleet and airforce, but took out most of my ships there. Let’s see what Germany decides to do on its turn. Will it take out the rest of the fleet and the transports? Or will it throw everything it has against Iraq? . . .

In other news, there are now five ANZAC subs in the east Mediterranean.

Also, there are 12 American land units in position to be shipped to Iraq from the east this coming turn. The Iraq attaq may be a now or never thing! . . .

Now Germany is going for Operation Sea Lion.

It looks as though the odds are heavily in favor of Sea Lion succeeding. And there isn’t much in the way of a counterattack.

@Gargantua:

Axis Victor!

Yes. :(

Sea Lion succeeded.

Thanks to both of you for a great game! This was one of the most enjoyable games of Axis and Allies I’ve played, even if things didn’t go my way in the end. I look forward to playing you guys at some point in the future.

@Hank13:

Axis win!!!

I’m a little upset that I didn’t get to see my plan actually play out!

Thanks for the great game Kurt, any time you want to play again let me/us know!

Your plan was a good one. And naturally, resulted in the triumph of Vichy France! The “German” infantry used to invade Britain were recruited in France. (Well, some of them were anyway.) Surely, they were French troops. They must have been French, to have won such a stunning victory over the English!

From an additional verse to La Marseillaise:

La France que l’Europe admire_____France that Europe admires
A reconquis la Liberté_______Has regained Liberty
Et chaque citoyen respire______And every citizen breathes
Sous les lois de l’Égalité ; (bis)______Under the laws of Equality, (repeat)
Un jour son image chérie______One day its beloved image
S’étendra sur tout l’univers._____Will extend throughout the universe.
Peuples, vous briserez vos fers_____People, you will break your chains
Et vous aurez une Patrie !______And you will have a Fatherland

For those curious about how this game ended, I’ve uploaded the final save file.
