I took a desperate risk but it did NOT pay off :cry:

[MG Horya]

I think the axis have this. Not quickly, but by using there income advantage. Italy and Japan can now fairly easily control the mid east and, I think, eventually Africa. I know Germany is having a rough time, but thats about the only theater going well for the Allies IMO. And I think once Japan starts pressuring Russia from the east that will relieve pressure from Germany.

Do you agree? If you do, perhaps I should concede now……? However, Im happy to play a few more turns if you are not convinced  :-)

Yes, I think the axis have this game. Italy is going to push into Russia from the Mideast and Japan will move on Australia.
We can play a few more rounds if you like, but I think Japan is going to win this game for the axis.

I CONCEDE!

Congratulations, you played well. I learned a heck of a lot, and am thankful for that.

Would you like to start another game?

[captainwalker]

thank you , it was a good game.
We can start another game…would you like to play the axis this time?

[MG Horya]

Sure, I’ll play axis. Same bid (Allies +12)? I will attempt to set up a PB Forum game later today.

[captainwalker]

Since this isn’t a league game I’ll play allies with no bid.
Post here if you have any problems setting up the game and I’ll try to help you figure it out.

[MG Horya]

I encourage you take allies with a bid of 12. Firstly, it seems fair. Secondly, I would be interested to see how you use it! If you REALLY dont want to use a bid thats fine heheh.

[MG Horya]

bump. ^^^^^

[captainwalker]

ok…I’ll use a bid of 12.
