Yes, I had the option to spend money on tech.  I’ve just never understood why it would be worth it, barring certain edge cases.

I mean, heavy bombers right now is equivalent to them hitting at 5 instead of 4.  Nice to have, but not really worth the money you’d spend on average to get it.  Super subs are great - one of the very few that are worth it.

Neither has really affected the game all that much.  It was my two big mistakes in Europe that did that.

Now for the final push!

Surrender?  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7GeisRaias&t=2m54s

Meh.  Much as I want to be heroic, it’s just drawing out the game at this point.

“It’s over, self”

Congrats on a perfectly executed victory, Garg!  Worth the wait.
