When will it end . . .

[unmerged(49822)]

It's September 1945. The Soviets made peace in '43. Neutral but friendly Persia allowed the Germans to travel through Persia to invade Iraq, french held Trans-Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, Palestine and Egypt. A second army ahs invaded India and taken over most of the North West.

Or in other words:

Guderian is in Delhi and Rommel is heading North to finish off the Allied forces that are about to be cut off in North West India, when German paratroops take Simla. Meanwhlie Hoth is in Alexandria, Western Europe is secure, Kluge and Manstein are guarding the new border with reduced Russia and Kesselring is guarding the coasts of occupied Italy. Bulgaria and Yugoslavia are Neutral adding to the security of Axis Europe.

Submarines and even the German surface fleet are roaming around at will sinking Allied shipping.

And once every month a deluge of V2's sends British industrial production down to close to zero.

And still the Allies don't accept my peace offers . . .

It never ends, unfortunately. Mainland Britain can be taken out by navel bombing the Royal Navy and amphibiously invading, and you can cripple the US's economic might by nuking the hell out of them with ICBMs, but the US Navy is far too powerful for you to do any thing...sorry.

Ya, these situations are usually the best times to employ some creative save game hacking. If you're truly looking to end the war and make peace, you can do it by deleting the entire "war" tag from your savegame. Then some rearrangments of who's in what alliance, and the associate "hate" tags (more is actually better) and you can create a new scenario to play out.

But then again, if you're that far along, all this might simply serve to make it easier, which would suck some of the challenge out of the game.

My advice, chalk it up as a win and move on. World domination games are just massive time sucks, as the game becomes nearly unplayable due to the need for micro-management once you open up more than 5 or 6 fronts.
