@alexgreat:
I think it is very hard now for Axis to come back. I have been wrong before (often), though.
I’d have to look back forsure, but I’d say the Axis were on the decline about the time you asked me if you were walking into a trap / did I have a plan and I had to answer “no” :-P

I’m done with this one. I was considering a epic battle in Moscow to see if I could turn the German’s West, but at 40 bucks a turn I can’t even suppress Russia anymore.
Good game, was lots of fun! I’ll have to assume we need a rematch?
Thx Matt. It WAS a good game, I had to crawl back from what, at certain points, I thought was defeat. Your bombings have been very effective. Whatever went wrong later for the Axis, the game was always interesting.
Yes, if you want a rematch you of course get it. Changed sides, though, I hope and if you want to have the 10 bid, I am fine with it. Otherwise, pls suggest.
I’ll take 10, that’s fine with me. I’d like a sub for 98 and inf in new guinea. I’ll take an extra IPC for UK-Europe
