Actually no need to sleep on it, I think i concede this one. GG
I think you’re right. Allies were doing pretty well but ANZAC spending in the middle east doesn’t allow enough for home defense. I felt pretty good about how the game was going in spite of it being pretty close. USSR was slowly being squeezed, the USA was being edged out of the Pacific. I hadn’t conceded much of a foothold in Europe - still holding Norway, Normandy and South France, in spite of trading Spain and Greece. The British were doing pretty well but 36/turn makes me a little scared - not trembling in my bones.
Main thing which concerned me was India. You had all those forces in the area and could perhaps rebuild. My thinking though was that if you committed forces there, you might not be able to hold the Middle East or challenge the Caucasus. I thought that if I killed the US fleet which was trapped in the Indian Ocean before it could be reinforced, I’d probably have the victory. Too many places to defend if my ships can land anywhere.

@simon33 My plan was to use the can openers to pierce the underbelly of the axis but I lost a lot of units along the way so I don’t know if I would have been able to hold out. Very fun game. I hate when i lose a game on a miss like that though. Well played. At some point I would like a rematch

.If you want, we can play it out for fun with relocation of the ANZAC forces. Move them all to Sydney?

@simon33 Sorry I have been on vacation. Also, I have found a couple other games right away so I think I am going to focus on those for now. I appreciate the willingness to play on but I do not think i will have the time right now for this game. I would love a rematch in the future though. Thanks again for playing.
