13L G40 wheatbeer (Axis) vs JWW (Allies +9) game 3

[666]

I guess Japan has to hold everything through their next turn?

[wheatbeer]

At the start of J8, assuming Japan hasn’t dipped below 6 VCs at any point since J7, Japan meets the victory conditions.

so it’s done…only chance I see is Russia getting the Kwangtung VC and that’s not going to happen…so GG, thanks…

Thanks for an interesting match.
