Status: offline 		Am wondering how the game plays out if Axis do well in the early war but don't invade UK.
So you get to winter '42 and Axis hold the whole of continental Europe, USSR is knocked out.

Probably Axis have no chance of invading UK at this stage, their navy will never catch up and even if they can land they are going to get swamped or worn down from lack of supply.

Likewise UK/USA have no chance of invading the continent, Axis are stronger and have the advantage of good supply.

Is this a fair assessment or have I got it wrong somewhere, maybe some of the play tests reached this position ?

The implication is there may not be much to play for from here on.

I have to fix the victory system because I completely forgot to adjust a couple things.

Status: offline 		Someone mentioned that to me. I am strongly considering an automatic victory condition. Mostly it's for the Axis as the Allies have to beat down the Axis into submission.

Status: offline 		I just finished a game on historical settings and played exactly that way. I ignored the UK entirely and instead focused on taking Africa east of Tripoli, the middle east, the Balkans, and then the USSR. It turns out that all Allied pacific resources are in the Persian Gulf, so I was able to take a chunk of their resources and was never challenged on it...just one Italian armor corps defending it. Azerbaijan was surprisingly difficult to take due to partisans in Iraq and Iran. I ended up needing to take the Caucasus from the north and then link up with my three armor and mech corps that came up through Iran. It did distract several units from the defense of Stalingrad though, making that a relatively easy battle. I held Tripoli from the Allies with 3 rotating elite infantry corps. By 1944 I had taken Spain through diplomacy, then invaded Gibraltar, crossed straits and pincered from Tripoli. Simultaneously, I took Vichy France and Portugal. The only mainland VP that I didn't take was Stockholm. That was mainly due to the war panel bugging out after I took Portugal and not being functional for the rest of the game.

In the end, it was an overwhelming victory. The Allies landed in France twice but were pushed back into the sea.

Status: offline 		Is there a posibbility to continue playing after scenario end date? In case I want to fight on, and for example invade USA. If no option, can this be changed in the editor? Thanks!
