I will concede rather than go for the one in a million dicing that would be required to take back Malaya.
Thanks for the game! This one contained some of the most unique board states I’ve ever had.
I’m always open for another one if you ever want a rematch.

Thanks for an engrossing game. You made work really hard to survive. You had the Japaneses Army hamstrung for the longest times. As it was a matter of time before the Allies were supreme in the Atlantic, I had to search hard for a way to close out the game.
I’ll take the Axis with +15.
-
@ArtofWar1947 X+13
-
This makes me nervous but X + 12.
-
@ArtofWar1947 Even though I think Axis is more fun, I feel I am much better as the Allies. You got em.
-
Okay then. I probably will not have time to set the game up until tomorrow morning.

@ArtofWar1947 OK sounds good.
