I’m pretty much ready to resign this game whenever. Part of the plan on this strat requires the UK to make more than $30, unless Japan is investing time and money on Africa, but with the Africa disaster its just not possible. Liberating Australia will be fun, but that one damn lone tank in sub-saharan Africa has got to be the most valuable unit in the history of Axis gameplay.

So do you want to resign?

I’m fine if you do.  I think you still have a chance, but it might be a rather small one.

We can keep going for a bit…

You might be interested in my game against Zhukov44.  It’s coming down to a major confrontation between Japan and the US in Europe (Italy has fallen, but Germany barely holds).

I’ve never seen Japan beat the US/UK in Europe (in my games).

Cool. Thanks for the heads up.
