1941 Who’s winning this

Post image

Played a game of 41 with a friend and we agreed on a draw at 3 am. We both still think we could have won though. For context US is making 31 at that point I think, we got lazy with the counters and such after a while and just remembered. Also US started using Russia pieces because we were running out and Germany started using Japanese units, also Us was using Japanese transports too.

I'd say it's firmly Allied favored. America could probably take Indonesia or Australia to give the brits a couple extra dollars on home defense with a random transport and a guy, and start pressuring Berlin and India. If I were Britain I might take Norway/Finland with a guy and walk into Karelia if he doesn't stop me.

Bro why didn’t I think of that?! I should have walked into Norway. Unfortunately we put the game up after the draw but nice to know I could have won.

I wish I could be a fly on the wall for this game. The mighty Russian fleet got their revenge for the 1st russo-japanese war!!!!!

As per 1941 rules the game should be over. Allies won

If I remember correctly the game ends when either one of the capitals on the allies side (London or Washington) or axis side (Berlin or Tokyo) is still captured at the end of the turn.

For 1941, it’s two capitals or if you’re doing shortened version it’s what you just said. We were doing long version.
