Warning: Moscow is my 14th city.  If I have 14 cities at the end of USA 12 the game is over under 2012 league rules.
I just think it polite to warn you that to stay alive you have to take a victory city - don’t mean anything else by it.  You are entitled to play it out, as you have.

I’m fully aware of that. I wonder if this would have turned out differently if the UK fleet didn’t get blasted earlier. The sub bid seemed to slow Japan down initially, but as usual I can never coordinate the allies in tiime to save Russia. Seems like I’m very adept in prolonging the inevitable.

Good game……I’ll PM you when I have time for another.
