@dawgoneit no scramble or kami

@Ghostglider I yield. GG. I’ll be able to push you from France, but not into the water. I was going to play on for a few more rounds, since losing France would be a coup for the Germans, but the Japanese are just toast. With a 1000 IPC lead, it is just time.

Thank you for a really tough game. After your great move with Italy early on and the drubbing of the minor Allied fleet in SZ91 I felt the Allies were behind for 80% of the game.

Sinking the IJN got the Allies back into the game but I felt you were still ahead, especially with your well planned defense of Europe. I felt like the Allies couldn’t land and hold anywhere to make inroads against Germany.

Ironically, your good move keeping the Allies from sacking Rome cost you as after the debacle of ANZAC knocking out the Japanese air force Tokyo was suddenly an option and the Allied fleet was in a perfect position to take advantage of that where otherwise they would have been in the Med.

Fortunate circumstance for me.

As always a tough well played game. Thank you…
