Just wanted to check; you see that the German navy in 93 can attack either the US fleet in 104 or 109 with overwhelming odds?

@ArtofWar1947

I did not but I decided that I’ll probably concede here after I see your Germany turn. I was curious as to how you were going to move on their eastern front. Though, I won’t drag it on if you don’t want to.

I made the decision after your last Japan turn. India and the Middle East will fall and there isn’t much I can do about it. Poor early turn playing and being out maneuvered in the Pacific pretty much killed it for me without even a decisive battle. I’ve played with Stucifer a little bit and he usually crushes me, so I was pretty sure you’d do the same considering he hasn’t beaten you, but I felt that playing you would be at least educational. Now that I have decided to actually try and get better at the game.

I’m a little busy today so I’ll get to it tomorrow should you at least want do Germany. Otherwise, GG! Did not read the rules on who reports but I assume the loser does?

Appreciate the game!

@Culann

I am happy continuing the game or ending it–whichever you’d like to do. Strucifer was a tough opponent who pushed me hard to think. I suspect he’s better now, making the outcome of next game unclear. You clearly have played much before and were by no means an easy out. I had to carefully plan each turn and work at not making a mistake. I suspect you will quickly become an equal or a better player.

If you want to end our current game, I’d be willing to risk a rematch.
