ZachMckenna Dropped. We're redeploying you here because there's a game. Evisela will take over your spot in the assault on Moldavia.

Await deployment.

ZachMckenna has been dropped from the tourney. Searching for reserves as we speak. Might be Glimz and we'll redeploy.

No technically he said he would finish this round and then abandon the competition, I only said remove his name now because I assumed this round was over anyway.

Myself and Zach posted this attack 4 days ago, there was no attempt by the axis team to negotiate the time. The time where myself and Zach were available has passed and Zach can no longer play. If cranial did find a replacement for Zach and the axis got their act together, played the game and won I'd honestly feel cheated because the rules are pretty much being bent back on themselves. So no, I personally think the allies should capture the territory they deserve by default.

Having said that, I can understand how the axis may feel like there is no point in continuing, seen as by the look of things they're going to loose about 7 territories (possibly more), but the fact of the matter is the game is far from over, possibly weeks left. There is nothing stopping the axis from pushing us back next round, as long as you're committed and play well.

It would be poor sportsmanship to quit this game early, as Yauz would say "Weak willed, people you really don't want on your team".

I suggest a gap week, if needed, for axis to rally their team and get organised. Either that or a territory compromise.

A gap week will likely be added after this round. However this game will be played. Allies only need to win 1/3 games.

Push back the Allied Invasion of Normandy and hold at least 80% of former (1939) German territory

Considering all the games that will go to loss for the Axis, it actually depends on the 3v3.

Are you sure? I swear it sayes in the rules "by a certain time". So technically unless the axis loose all their territory they still have a chance to recover and push back for the win.

Btw, when it says 80% that doesn't really give a clear indication of how many territories, is there any chance you could show this on the map of Europe.
