I’ll continue as long as you have the will to fight on! The 2 major battles (1 in each threatre) were major blows to the Axis and to boot I got better than expected results (though both were pretty much guaranteed wins).

Given my play style, I think it’ll essentially be a slow and methodical economic victory where the Axis income slowly dries up (you’ll see both Germany’s and Japan’s income this round is gonna already suffer due to NOs as the battles not only had a major TUV swing but also provided positional advantages for blocking Axis NOs). You can probably hold onto the Axis capitals for at least another 5 turns as you have plenty of forces in Europe unless I go all in for one of them which is risky.

Alright, GG. I had a feeling you wouldn’t want to continue that one much longer :)

It was a pretty close game until those 2 major battles and I’m definitely learning a lot with much of it already being incorporated into the AI!

Sure, I’ll start up the next one with us switching sides.
