JohnCon was a  blast!  Thanks John for being such a great hos to everyone - I think we had 15 people playing the game on Saturday - so quite a room-full.

The game will go down in the history books as an Axis victory in Autumn of 1944.  While the Red Army was on the gates of East Prussia, the Western Allies had failed to gain a foothold on the continent (except Southern Greece) and the Japanese had defeated China and were keeping the Allied navies stalemated at their outer defense perimeter.  With the lack of a second front, Stalin signed an armistice with Germany in November 1944 essentially compelling the Western Allies to do the same and the guns fell silent

Here are some pics of the BEAUTIFUL map (both European and Pacific theaters - thanks to John)

The maps are almost done- we have a few adjustments to make. We are there - this is the culmination of many people's input.
   Wow - what an epic game it was!!!

I look foward to doing it again! ;D

So when do you plan to have the new game available for sale? My wife goes to Brazil in February for several months - if it comes out then, it will be easier for me to justify buying it(you know - better to ask forgiveness than permission...) ;D.
