Well according to the dice the axis win. Close game guys!

Why did Japan refuse to go for the win in the Pacific? That is what is lame about this game, the axis had the odds to win it and the axis passed up on it.

Now an arbitrary ruling comes in and I can see it going either way.

You are special and smart and we all know you would have done it perfectly.  If you had run the Allies they would have dominated and won and if you had run the Axis you would have dominated and won.  We all know you are very special.

Not every game of Global should be designed to end in 7 or 8 rounds.  Yes, you can actually play a great game of Global that lasts 15 or more rounds. The Axis should not be forced to play a game of quick gains and a VC rush.  They can, in fact, play a strategic, methodical game designed to continually make gains in territory and strategic positioning.  Here, the Axis have in fact taken ground and focused on holding that ground while consolidating their forces. The only ground lost by the Axis in this entire match were gains in Russia on the Eastern Front, which the Axis traded successfully for Gibralter, Spain, Egypt, South Africa, naval dominance in the North Atlantic (z110, z112), air dominance in Europe, and all of China.  While all this was occuring, the Axis also gained the dominent position and strength in the Pacific without losing ground anywhere on the mainland, but while gaining ground.  In the next 3 rounds, the Axis will be rewarded for their patience and will only increase their lead in IPC production, territory gains, and strategic positioning.

germany botched barb, no russia take. how u do that, beyond me.

Yes you can play a 90 round game of any board game, you can even play one that lasts your entire lifespan. At some point victory is just an island island.

Great idea, go to judge ruling where the odds of you winning depends on how well you can persuade someone.

Too bad the income is about even, tuv pretty close, and all that.

Coin flip ruling imo.

Time limit is time. Give us either of these teams. I do not care. It is cool the allies managed to stay in this game.

MooBreath, we are playing on. The Tourny bosses have already decided so shut you Cow Hole.

this will allow you to play this game to a satisfactory conclusion while still keeping pace of the tournament.

What do you call a satisfactory conclusion? The official victory condition?
What is the new deadline for this game? April 30th or you plan to review the game in a month?

You can put the probabilities in your hands or you can delay action leaving it to the judges.

The income is close. Do both sides have room for expansion? Yes. Now instead of having the dice in your hands it is 50/50 either way with the judges.
