@gamerman01 Interesting, thanks. Spain would be pretty brutal to play with. The only other interesting neutral (in my very novice opinion) seems to be Mongolia?

I concede the game. No sense in prolonging the inevitable when I am so far behind in income. Good game, Congratulations, you earned it. I will post the results.

@FMErwinRommel
Thanks for an interesting and challenging game. Good job of frustrating and stalling the Axis advances. Several counterattacks really slowed the Axis. This game could have gone on much longer, but I agree with a 60 or so ipc advantage for the Axis and their ability to put units immediately in the fight, the Allies had a very high mountain to climb. -
Let me know if you want to play a third game.

Yes, that would be great. Only question is which side. We could use a bid to decide. No bid was tough on the Allies, although I think that I had the advantage in our second game, until I blundered in Russia. It would have been another long game, regardless of who would have eventually won. I never solved how to retake Gibraltar. The Japanese delay in DOW on allies meant U.S. couldn’t help early on. But I think the German resources devoted to Gib stalled the advance on Russia. And Japan stalled in Asia until Russia collapsed. UKPac and ANZ didn’t anticipate or take advantage of delayed DOW, but built and moved defensively. Do you have a preference for X or L or thoughts on bid or no bid? Allies +16 appears normal for equals, but you are a better player.
