@surfer yeah a harbor there opens a lot of opportunities for the allies. Japan is still really strong and Germany is at Moscow’s door step. I had to declare on the neutrals to buy some time. It will be really interesting to see how the next few turns play out. Thanks for the game so far it has been a lot of fun.

@Private-Panic you’re up as Austria

AHE offers to pull out of contested Tuscany(save those precious guns), leave occupied Venice, if the Allies leave Mesopotamia. As a show of good faith, the Axis will leave their fleets in their home waters, and leave Trieste & Mesopotamia with a symbolic trooper in it. Also oil leases for everybody, Allies accept.

IPCs lost, Troopers Axis 45 units, &, Allies 38 troopers, Guns 8 & 11, Fighters 3 each, Transports 1 & 3, Submarines 5 & 1, Cruisers 5 & 6, BBs 4 Axis only(1.5 Allies if you count 3 damaged BBs).

@Galendae

Yeah, Norway is mu biggest fear as a German player. Good luck if the US builds a minor industrial complex and spams 3 tanks a turn. You’d better have an advantage in the Pacific or the Mediterranean to survive that army.
