Thank you for the game! I honestly nearly missed that opportunity, as I was not expecting it. Then, suddenly, I thought: For the heck of it, check what the battle calculator says for Moscow… Usually I would have waited another two rounds or so to increase the win percentage. But I wanted to avoid a longer war with two fronts. I think I would not have defended Volgograd as strongly and put more effort into the defense of Moscow. I understand that you wanted to keep Germany from getting these tasty bonus points for Volgograd and Caucasus.

You successfully made me do what I blamed you for in our first game - I had to invest into Navy with Germany, LOL.

I advise you to take more time for your turns and to do more test runs locally. And try to avoid hopeless desparation battles as you did in the Pacific in SZ33, when your chance for winning was close to zero with less than 5%. The Allies are in the comfortable position that mistakes are forgiven and they can tike higher chances, but there should at least be some chance.

Good luck in your other games!
