With all Axis capitals in Allied hands, has this game been won? Or does it go to the turn limit?

 

[classical_hero]

Considering how America is so massively powerful I think we can call it an allied victory. Anyway GPS.

 

[aksully]

Well the Allied players are still up to playing to the end if nothing else as I'm not sure a game has ever gone the full game turns? Glas is back and would like to avenge earlier losses. And E and I would like to see what we can do going to the end. So that's we're at going forward......

 

[eric_A]

I agree with AB, all 3 Axis capitals should end the game. We could put it to
a vote, but with 3 allies and 3 axis, that means Nature would have the deciding
vote??? I will do this last turn later today just to record the final scores.

 

[Jureil]

I agree as well this game has been over for about 8 to 10 turns now.

 

[AnthonyBoscia]

For the record, I wasn't advocating that we should end the game. Just bringing up the question. I don't have a problem playing a few more turns so the Allies can savor their victory and end the game completely. On the flip side, the sooner they win, the sooner we can start up a new game.

 

[Elephantium]

I agree with AB, all 3 Axis capitals should end the game. We could put it to
a vote, but with 3 allies and 3 axis, that means Nature would have the deciding
vote??? I will do this last turn later today just to record the final scores.

I'll abstain from any vote. I agree that the game is effectively won for the Allies.

 

[aksully]

Time to accept the Axis Team Surrender then. We started this game in December of 2013! That is an amazing investment of time that we've all put into this game. Eric, thanks for giving us a great deal of entertainment with HoF.

[aksully]

I wonder where HoF will head from here?

 

[classical_hero]

It's a shame nature can't take cities, otherwise there would be a few under my control.

 

[eric_A]

Germany-Italy 180880
USA. GB & Allies 177805
Japan 102775
Russia 41530
Nature 7620

The Allies would certainly overtake the Axis in points
in May, if the game hadn't already ended because of the capitals.
