I have three games right now, which is two too many, actually. It’s looking pretty bad for the Axis. If you want to tip your king over, I’m fine with that. Failing a Sea Lion on G3 usually means depending on Japan for the win, and Japan isn’t looking strong enough to win super soon.

Yeah, I’ll go ahead and surrender this game. I knew Sea Lion was pretty risky, but I wanted to try it. We can start another one when you finish the others if you want.
Yeah, let me finish one of the other two I have and we’ll kick up a new one. I’ll let you know.
Good game, sir. If you hadn’t have been dicefucked that hard in London, it could have gone more than a little bit differently since Germany would have gotten a ~35 IPC surge of income to resist the oncoming Soviets, and you’d still have some more planes left.
Yeah, it would have been interesting to say the least. Oh well.
If you want to play the Axis next time again, go for it. You can try it again :p
