[wheatbeer]

I know this game would take a long time to play to victory conditions either way, but I think I actually should concede defeat since I don’t see a path to regain the initiative.

Italy was crippled too fast and can’t stop the UK collecting it’s NO.

Germany didn’t get anything out of it’s investment in YUGO facilities and is losing a decent chunk of its economy to convoy damage.  The US/UK threat has slowed down the eastern front too severely.

Japan can’t outspend the Allies on fleet or expand anywhere significant.  It also might never regain the DEI NO.

Are you interested in a rematch?

[Jeff28]

I agree with that. Got lucky on a lot of small battles and Russia held.

I like the Yugo factory idea, that’s why I had to do 97 to kill Italy.

A rematch would be great. However you want to do it.

–Jeff

[Jeff28]

Let me know if you want to re-bid, or I can play either side at the +10 we did before

–Jeff

[wheatbeer]

I’m willing to give you 10 again.

I need to crack this UK2 EGY airbase!  I haven’t seen it before so early, but it’s totally worth it.

I have a game going against Ziggarut where he sent two Indian planes and did the same thing.
