@FranceNeedsMorePower To play PBEM you need to be registered on the dice server called Marti ,but it is not working with gmail and also has problems with hotmail, so the group I play with started using @gmx.com and with this it does work and sends the dice rolls immediately, so even if you try to register with your gmail it will not work.

@nikola1975 I surrender. I can’t see how to reclaim UK or Australia back and it is only question of time when India falls. Soviets are good and will keep on pushing, but with Germans still holding to London, it won’t help.

Very good play, especially with Japan defending Australia!

@ArtofWar1947
It was a challenging game with lots of back and forths.

Especially your rush to save the Pacific side after the fall of Australia lead to some interesting moves.

Thanks for the good game!
