:-D Alright - good game, you win!

Very well played…I don’t see anyway of coming back from having 2 major powers captured.  Plus, your German IPCs are simply too great for me to really compete now.

I’ve never had to compete against Sealion before, so that was interesting. I wish I could’ve gotten America in the fight sooner…but then again - I’m still learning the mechanics to G40 :)

Lots of mistakes on my part - but still fun to learn new strategies :D

[Whackamatt]

Yeah, Japan is the key for brining the US in.  If the Axis player doesn’t want the US in the war, then Japan has to play defensively.  Works well with a SeaLion.  I think the key to countering that is to be as aggressive as possible with Russia.  Move everything to Germany as fast as possible.  And once a game is done, you post a link to it in the game results thread.
