This game has been lost for a long time and I think the allies should concede.

Everybody can be beaten, but I am horrible at playing with the allies and at the moment things aren’t going well for me with the axis either.

Thanks for the game guys.

For winning the game there’s a thin line that makes the difference between win and loose. Sometimes the result of one battle could unbalanced definitely the game, as happens in real wars.

Good luck in the Pit Fight.

Cheers

@Soulblighter:

I lost my interest in playing this game.

We are playing conservative being sure that an above 100 IPC advantage means a secure win if we don´t take risks, but in essence the game became boring a couple of rounds ago.

I understand your decision and all I can say is thank you for resolving this, and thank you for being good opponents for a lot of rounds, we needed good coordination in order to compete with you guys, Soul, Variance, well done.

Good luck in the pit fight, who knows… perhaps we fight for the final…
