I concede. I have no hope of winning this game, so I have posted your victory on the forum.

Good game! As I recall, you sank an Allied fleet in the east Med because I failed to build an airbase there to protect it. That really hurt me. I also didn’t contend with the Japanese in the Pacific very well.

You outplayed me for sure, and I look forward to our rematch which will count for the 2nd Playoff. I find myself playing too many games at once right now, and it is hard to exert the time and energy needed to each one and give the attention that they deserve. I have a 10 day vacation coming up soon, and I would also like to finish one or 2 of my other games so I can give focused attention to our playoff game. When I am ready, I will post the beginning of our playoff game with me as Axis. I anticipate it will be late May. I will also PM you when I set up the game.

Cheers! OwenToo

@OwenToo Fantastic game Owen!! You played very well. Very tenacious. Once Germany is making 90+ its pretty difficult to handle as the allies. Especially with Japan going strong. I screwed up giving that middle east factory to the US. Lesson learned (not really I did it again in one of my other games) Yeah take your time and finish up some games. Enjoy the vacation and I’ll be here when you are ready!! Take care.
