From Larry Neal:
At this point the Allies resigned. I could not find a way to get that ellusive point I needed in one turn and could not stop the subs.
From Bob Hamel:
Larry resigned after coming within 1 of beating the Axis ...
One convoy was sunk and the other two landed with max damage ...
Final score ... Axis by +1 begining of round 8
