Oh I am wondering if I am doomed in this game already.
Certainly anything can happen with the dice, but the odds are looking a bit long.
Also, moving the sub from z40 to z75.

Could you back the Allied fleet off a little…they’ve been hot on my ass since the middle of the Pacific ocean. Thats a request from the imperial fleet. And I see you made sure to kill my jap plane in the Mediteranean and also the bomber and ftr i managed to get over to Russia :(
I’m just looking at the map… musing about the poor Japs that you’re running to death. Sorry, no German battle plans yet
They were a pain in the ass, so kind of felt I had to.
There’s an easy solution. Why don’t the emperor capitulate before we drop the bomb? We’ll be nuce and treat him with cookies and spa.
I think they want to try for one last hoorah. They could get lucky before Tokyo collapses

It looks hard, but I don’t mind that we carry on the game. Unlike some other people I’ve encountered I won’t take offense. Not in the slightest.
@trulpen You say some people would take offense? Not sure i understand…how so

@trulpen You say some people would take offense? Not sure i understand…how so
I’ve played opponents who have explicitly told me to give up and then taking offense when I didn’t comply.
I play competitive chess. There it’s even in the rules that your opponent can play on for how long he wishes and take any amount of time to do so as long as you’re not mated or have run out of time.
I feel that approach applies to this game as well. It’s extremely bad manners to try to force or convince your opponent to give up, and even more so taking offense from not following that recommendation. Doesn’t matter if it’s a lost position or not.
@trulpen oh ok, now i understand. Yes, in a game where an opponent is clearly defeated, but they keep playing because their intend is to ACTUALLY be annoying. In those kind of games, for some justifiesd or maybe unjustified reason a player has gone sauer and, of course, when that happens you will not have good rapport. Our game is different in that we’ve had good rapport pretty much from the beginning. And yes, you are clearly the better player, but I was holding out hope that I could just kind of cleverly sneak in a Victory City win. It was fun, and I felt you were having fun too, seeing if the Germans could secure 2 more (I think) Victory Cities. Until last round, I thought I had a fairly good chance at it.
Yes, definitely no hard feelings in our game, I think. Perhaps the only instance is when I denied an edit of 2 air from Rome before the first SL.
A successful overtake of London is big and you’ve also skillfully held on to that capital.
Grabbing Moscow on this map is also big.
