i play only until all capitals r taken over. its overkill for world domination but if u destroy caps the rest follows. as for the winning against overwhelming odds, i can personally attest to it^^ i was playing someone i was allies and he was the axis. completely bumrushed russia and the dice loved him i swear so russia fell rather quickly. so the only chance in heck i had to take back the western hemisphere was asia so i had 140 men in transports ramming towards japan. some god forsaken reason he had more then 140 but it cleared asia almost completely so lets just say he dropped off the packages and i made sure the stayed there :wink: so i went on image this fortress germany w/ 3 countries that had over 100 units each came at me, i always thank god thwarted his attacks. and 57 turns later i won^^ yeah he had both the ussr and uk caps but i continued playing until he took us. and no, economic victories suck. the games start getting good then all of a sudden its over
