Just to be sure: I have 2 German bombers at India that can eliminate a blocker in sz55. Not sure what your plans with Anzac are but in case this affects your NCM you can do so with Anzac.

Bringing this on top.

Hi Tobias

Although I have continued with this game, for some turns I have given up in my head I think. Would it be rude to surrender at this point?

Cheers
Adam

[JDOW]

Hi Adam,

it is not at all rude, to surrender at this point. Frankly, I would resign without hesitation in the Allied shoes. There is zero chance that the Allies will overcome the Axis advantage and VC victory in either theater is just a matter of time from here.

Thanks for the game. I heard you are gonna be on holidays from Sep 2 to 16 or so. We planned to play 2 games with switched sides.

I would be happy to start a second game with you playing Axis with a break during your holidays. What do you think?

best,
Tobias

[Private-Panic]

Thanks Tobias. I am aware that I have not really been trying in recent turns, which is no fun for me and rather boring for you no doubt. Will post the loss in the results thread.

Can we start our second game when I get back on 19 September? I am in the process of selling my business on 31 August, just before we go away, and it is doing my head in!

Hopefully the second one will be more challenging for you! :-P

[JDOW]

Alright, we play the rematch later then.

Have great holidays and all of success for the selling process.

[Private-Panic]

Thanks Tobias. And I forgot to congratulate you on your crushing victory!  :cry:

[JDOW]

Thanks, dice didn’t help you at all!

Just don’t trust Montgomerys evaluations anymore;)
