We pause to say a prayer for those brave soldiers of the Crown who are about to meet their (digital) maker. May they roll many ones and twos on their way to oblivion.

I think this is about as far as I have ever made it (turn-wise) in an Axis & Allies Game (other than the old Pacific or Europe, which are shorter games). Usually the clock strike 6-8 hours and then everyone has to go home with no clear winner determined. I’m obviously losing, but this is really getting exciting! You just brushed me out of Europe with ease, and with Karelia in hand I have very little chance of breaking in. It’s fascinating to watch.
