<They're monsters 'cause they eat all your time & money.>

I played War in Europe up through 1943. By that point,
Germany had overrun the Middle East (they attacked Turkey
in 1941) and, naturally Egypt, then in '42 attacked 
Russia from Europe and Asia (no more Caucasus oil fields)
and took Leningrad and Moscow in '43. Meanwhile, by 
building the max amount of U-boats, they had delayed 
the Western Allies reinforcements by an entire year
(they were getting their '42 units in '43). Spain joined
the Axis, and a German force was trying to take Gibraltar.
A weak amphibious invasion in'43 was quickly sealed off
and pummeled. It seemed pointless to go on (but it WAS fun).
