Final stages of the Game
At the end of this game:
The Allies where on the offensive on a massive scale.
Russia together with the US liberated China.
Germany was fighting on all sides of his borders,
with almost no air units left it was hard to counter all attacks.
Germany could not take over italy because of 1 italian artillery on vacation in Morroco.
Still Germany had an decent army on the eastern front butt could not push forward because The russians simply outnumberd the Germans.
The UK was sending a huge army to India to recapture it…
in Early 1945 the game ended because there was no time to complete the game.
( had to cath the plane) butt it was a very good game.
So the game in this point was a draw.
However, if the game had continued for like 3-5
The Allies were in my opinion on the winning hand.
