Wow!  What luck - I did not expect to hold that.

Then again, I thought things would go better for me in the Atlantic, so I guess it all evens out.

I’m pretty sure that as long as I ply it safe, I’ve got this game locked down too.  The USA will eventually be able to either have a real prescence in the Pacific or mount a major invasion, but it won’t be for 3-4 turns at least.  And once they do, they’ll be staring down the barrel of some major defenses.

Africa and India will fall within a turn or two, as will Russia.

If you want to stop here, that’s fine with me.  I feel that, if anything, this game has shown that the Allies really need that bid to be competitive.  Your UK play was top notch - that trick with getting the Ruskie into Italian Africa was especially neat.  But without a bid, it’s just not enough, sadly.

Man, that was a heck of a game!  I’ve got a few people asking me for matches at the moment, so I’ll attend to them first, but I’m sure we’ll be facing off against each other soon.

Good game!
