At this stage, the Axis goal was to hang on in Europe long enough so that the Japanese might be able to win the game on victory points on their own in early 1945.  Spring 1944:

Winter 1944:  VE Day!  The Americans close in rapidly in the Pacific and the Axis do the math - it's determined John is not going to be able to hold on to enough VPs to win the game and we surrender unconditionally!

Wow, looking back on this I did not realize there were so many Allied Fleets all over the Pacific. No wonder I was ready to sign all of the capitulation paperwork! :'(

Looking forward to a rematch!  ;D

Looks like a great game !  The Japanese took Pearl Harbour - wow.  It looks like the Germans got stopped pretty much cold on the Russian front tho - that and the Brits invaded France really early looks like it knocked the Germans back on the defensive pretty early in the game.  Looks like fun tho - U.S. Sherman tanks in Berlin in the Winter of 1944 - awesome   :D

What a game!  Thank you Mark and John for coming to Detroit and giving us such a challenge.

These pictures bring back fond memories of that struggle.  As Sir Winston, most of my focus was on the British and the Western Allies in Europe.  Things looked rather bleak for the Allied cause in the beginning as the Germans smashed into Paris in the Spring of 1940 against improbable odds.  It was bad enough that the French gave up so early but 2 cruisers and a destroyer joined the Italians!  That was followed by a brief blitz on London while Hitler started maximum U-boat production.

I'm betting my money on the game's originators!

We from the Detroit group will be collecting all those bets at Origins. :D

Please be prompt with your payments and make sure you have correct change. ;)

I wonder what madness was going on in the Fuhrer's mind during all of this. Maybe we can find his journal or the young lady that was taking his dictations for some clue... ;D


Origins will be here before you know it!  ;D  In the meanwhile I will wait impatiently for a fun rematch! 8)
