By Germany 5 Russia has been reduced to 1 Fighter, 2 Armor and a handful of Infantry. Not enough.
Not enough to what? By the time Germany went next it would be reduced Balkans + Germany with 3 arm 5 figs and a handful of infantry, with a 17 IPC income. That’s not enough.
England and America had finally gotten a beach head, but it also wasn’t enough. Definitely not enough to hold S. Europe after it was taken. None of the German fleet was sunk and you had a major problem with Japan starting, that was going to start tying up Allied fighters defending Russia soon, and at that point, all resistance to Germany in Europe would evaporate.
I beg to differ. I could have put 18 land units/fighters in S. Europe, with you only having 15 pieces to attack with in Germany. W. Europe would be light with only 14 defensive pieces, but could you really have been able to attack that when you have to defend your capital as well? Plus, Russia was about to use its last hurrah to bang up E. Europe, giving you 3 directions in which none of them were adviseable to attack. Maybe we should continue that game to show you how bad things really were.

The German fleet is impotent as this point. All I’m doing is waiting for the Americans to sneeze on the Baltic navy, and the med navy is doing nothing of importance. In case I required the Allied fighters to defend Russia, I would have sufficient land units down to contain Germany for good.
It was far from a “done deal” but it wasn’t great for Germany.
Let’s continue, I just don’t get the feeling you know how to admit defeat. If it’s not a done deal, then show me how it’s not.
