With respect to the game TL reported below I have a couple comments that are not a complaint but an expression of frustration. The game ended in March '47 in accordance with game rules when Japan's NM reached zero. That's fair however given how hard it is to secure an axis victory against an elite ...

I am somewhat embarrassed by early surrender and hope to improve the result at a later date. Regarding the comment on naval I have always struggled with the wisdom of spending ...

Thank you for your clarifications. Looking forward to new system. Regards,

I wish to support Dmitry's view that it depends on each player's goal. Dmitry and I currently have a game underway in which at its start we both understood that his skill and experience far exceeded mine and I had no realistic chance of victory. To make the game interesting for him I agreed to play ...
