19L BM3 Owentoo (X) vs FMErwinRommel (A) NoBid

I purchased 3 CVs for Norway factory. If U.S. gets Norway, it usually is the end of Germany. But in this case, its just a last hurrah, Pickett’s last charge.

1 hit bombard and 10 more. OOL please

Oops, forgot to sink Japanese transport. Will edit that in.

Japanese : -1.00

Savegame

Okay, I concede the game. I had my fun taking W. Ger and Den, but was not in a position or enough power for UK to take Berlin. UKP reinforcements to Yunnan alerted you to my intention to attack Kwantung. It was an education. Although, I’m still not sure how you outmaneuvered me so quickly in Gibraltar and the Med and Japan everywhere. I’m going to have to go back to the first few rounds and see what I can learn for the allies in the future and for the Axis in a second game. The kids and grandkids are coming over through the weekend, so give me until next week to set up the second game. It was a pleasure playing against you.
