@variance:

Out-produced on all fronts, Allies will inevitably lose.  I could bounce fighters around for a few turns but its hopeless.  I am going to call this one and post it.  GG balladeer.

GG and thanks for playing. It’s kinda tough on the European front to keep it all together right now, but the Japanse are growing so fast they’ll be able to help in middle east / africa soon, so I agree, it’s (too) tough for the allies. Thanks for playing, was a nice game!
