It isn’t over till the end of this round.  If you can regain a European VC, you will prolong the match.  I see a couple of opportunities with a slim chance of success.

I wish the American fleet was in sea zone 92.  Then I might have a decent shot at Rome.  Alas…

Looking grim for Japan.  You have me contained in the Pacific.

@Arthur:

Looking grim for Japan.  You have me contained in the Pacific.Â

I was going to have the Americans try for Rome but with less than a 0.01% chance to win, I thought that was ridiculous.

America contributed almost nothing in this game.  BUT!!! there are now in position, to do…. something.  Alas, they will never get that turn.

There is some “bug” in the game.  it is not permitting me to attack Yunan with my airforce in India.  Infact, it won’t let me touch the planes in anyway.  I’ll try to figure something out that is fair.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

You can move them with edits.  Sometimes the the save gets glitched and units cannot move.  Regardless, it won’t matter unless you can get a victory city with the UK.

Actually I can’t even move them with the edits.  I’m not going to worry about it.

[innocentbystander]

Does not matter.  Game is over.  I hit Egypt with everything I could and it wasn’t nearly enough.

Good game!

[innocentbystander]

@Arthur:

Good game!

Yes.  It was.  I want the allies again.  I know what I did wrong in Egypt and Russia.  I am 0-6 but I think I had you in Asia.  You will NOT win the next one.

[innocentbystander]

I am trying to get a friend of mine interested in this.  He downloaded the A&A game last night.  He is familiarizing himself with the rules.
