I’ll assume Italy does nothing.

[simon33]

I was assuming if Berlin falls, the game is over but it doesn’t seem that is assured.

I presume it isn’t too late to change UK buy, ncm and placement.

wow, intense game!  You had some bad dice there in the middle, if I recall where you took some chances to really slam the door on the Axis.  That gave them just the little breathing room to get back on track.

Also, not sure if the neutral crush helped you. I suppose getting Spain eventually really opened up Europe, but the dice were sure no friend to your allied landings!

GG

[simon33]

Yeah, well played. I thought I had that one in the bag until a couple of turns ago.

[simon33]

Neutral crush pulled German & Italian forces away from USSR but also pulled USA forces away from Japan. So yeah, it may not have helped.
