Savegame

I am going to prioritise this game this weekend.

I apologise for the slow pace of this game. I haven’t always been in a fit mental state to play a playoff game and I didn’t want to make a bad move. I am wondering if I was drunk when I allowed you to get Korea as USA. I think that has been my least forgivable mistake this game and I wouldn’t normally make that mistake. Anyway, with the Axis being crushed in Egypt and survivors in Iraq doomed, Axis evicted from Bryansk and will take a while to come back and USN free to roam the Pacific, even with no reinforcements in sz10, I think there is no real possibility of victory. Going to concede this game. I have looked at it a couple of times and come to the same conclusion, I think for different reasons.

GG.
