End Game

i like to end the game when victory by one side is not a viable, forseeable occurrance. It’s like running up the score in a friendly game of football. My team was ahead by about touchdowns, my friend (the quarterback) called a time-out with under 2 minutes left to stop the clock. The opposing team captain complained “what, you want to beat us 56 to nothin’?”
That’s when you wake up and call it a game.
Also if this event (approaching end game) occurs early enough, you can set things up for a new game :)

I agree with CC. Why continue to beat a dead horse?

I like to finish out games just to get a sense of closure. Looseing a game doesn’t bother me that much, I can still have fun playing even if I’m looseing.
I’ll often save my friends if I’m winning though. I tend to grab every little piece of territory before takeing the capital so it usually ends up being about 28 troops surrounding Japan or the UK, with no terrioties held by them. So at that point we will usually end it at that point.

I like dead horses! You don’t have to feed them, walk them, water them :P , clean nor curry(groom)them. You just gotta cut off and bury their heads. The glue factory or dog food company will take care of the rest!

Be sure to get the horse out of the stall before rigor mortis sets in. Otherwise you’ll have to cut it’s legs off, too! - Xi :o :cry:

When I’m axis the other players always give up as soon as moscow falls :(

Usually it happens when one capital falls either side.
However, I have seen times of the Allies surviving after Russia has fallen (given a buildup along WE) or the Axis going on to win after Germany has fallen (depends on how powerful Japan is).

If worse comes to worse, break out the tech rolls! :wink:

i fight to the last man, however if someone wants to quit I’m ok with it, I play the person who is gonna die gets to choose whether or not to surrender.

last man! :D

I hate last man when trying to invade USA, Japan, or Uk. It takes forever for those countries to be conquered. :x

@TG:

:lol:

I don’t know, I had some pretty heated games between Germany and Russia, seeing who would fall first. :)

i think most end games “move capitals” would just frustrate your opponant and result in a win by default
(the 2 greatest words in the english language: De! Fault!)

Hahaha, can you move the British and Japanese Capitals? :)
“My Capital is now in the North Sea!” :wink:
