Status: offline 		I've been away guys, but just loaded up the save to find that the Germans had not done anything at all the first turn & that auto-supply was turned on for everyone.

I've sent an email to Jim asking that he restart the game with auto-supply off.

Cheers

Status: offline 		Gentlemen,

I consultation with my Japanese Ally, I have concluded that surrender is my only realistic option. The Allies have driven Italy out of the war, and siezed an unshakable lodgment on the continent. As a result, I would be unable to withstand a Soviet attack, let alone US entry.

Sorry to have to pull the plug at such an early stage. I obviously need more practice. Thanks for the lesson. Next time I may try starting with Russia, which will give me a little more time and strategic depth.

Jim

The Italian gambit was executed very well indeed.

It's important to note that I recommended this forfeit to dobbins, who was willing to play on (in fact he sent me a save file).

I provided my appraisal, which was that with no chance of repelling the Allied invasion within 2 seasons, & no chance of ever doing it without heavy losses, the result of the game is determined as a Russian invasion would never be possible.

I've further advised that seeking a tutorial PBEM with Fog off would probably be a wise move before taking on a competitive game. This game could have continued as a tutorial game albeit one where the main lesson has already been learned.

Best regards

Also, since the game lasted only one turn, does anyone want to just start a new game and go from there?
