@ArtofWar1947 I thought possibly you may have wanted to sacrifice the Italian fig to improve Germany’s odds of retaking Denmark and keeping my fleet trapped.

Did not see any point in sacrificing an Italian inf and a fighter (or two) for a likely outcome of 1 hit. Three hits, which would have helped seemed extremely unlikely.

@ArtofWar1947 I think it’s time to concede this one. Tried one last ditch effort to rescue my trapped fleet. Turns out the Berlin treasury was filled with fools gold.

Thanks for tremendously interesting game. The relentless Ally pressure required a high level of problem solving. The conquest of Germany made it exponentially more so.
