Forgot about the bloodshed in Yunnan.
Scramble from Queensland or Guam?
@Martin Ich wäre damit zufrieden gewesen, wenn Italien Paris genommen hätte - bevor es wieder kurzzeitig liquide wird!

I call it a game - very well played!
If Germany cannot take profit of a KJF strategy and loses all of its Air Force in the early rounds, there is not much hope. The TUV difference is devastating.
Germany will only be able to take Russia in round 12 or 13 - if at all - while the Allies get a stand in Normandy Bordeaux and Scandinavia. Russia will finally get its bonus points in Africa, and UK Pacific will be rolling masses of mechs to support Russia.
I was gambling a few times, but it did not pay off, like the attack on SZ97.
Thank you for the game and good luck in your other games!
@Martin thank you for this lucky gg!
