ElvisRambo, are you sure you didn't resign too early? Seems you might have thrown in the towel due to the grief of losing a tank in the east while you still own substantial properties. The massive allied invasion fleet off Spain never even got a chance to fire a shot in anger and Germany seems to have Spain locked down pretty tight.
I don't think Elvis resigned because of a lost tank. Neither because of Allied invasion fleet, because that's not an invasion fleet [:)] It was a task force with a single objective in mind, but I will keep it secret.
Resignation was due to (99%) loss of Manstein HQ in Gomel. Not only it hurts as MPP, also 3 units south of Gomel will be at zero supply, and probably dead soon. Vitebsk-Orsha frontline is not exactly thick either, though I didn't know it until FOW was lifted. That's a suboptimal situation for Axis for sure.
Problem is, Germany is on timer and it is ticking on fast. If in the middle of 1942 there is sort of stalemate in Russia, then what is Axis gameplan to win? Allies pump out twice as much MPP each turn and can strike in multiple places - Norway, Italy, France, in this game Spain too. In 1943 US brings a strong force, like really strong and it's GG. You can of course play this out, GER will not fall until at least 1944. But is it worth time? I have doubts.
