Imperial posting in just under 2 hours…  8-)

This game is over.

I am ruling in favour of the axis.  They have demonstrated over the last 3 turns that they are running the game.  It’s only a matter of time.

The allies are out of initiative, resources, and time.  Their defence is eroding on every single front.

If you wish to continute playing the game, by all means, do so!  But as far as the tournament is concerned, an extra 3 weeks has elapsed… and the winner is clear.

Congratulations to the winner, and good luck to both teams in the next stage!

My congratulations to BoldDutch.

Congratulations, well played.
