Axis have 8 victory cities in Europe and I won’t be able to take one back this turn. I concede this one.

I think where I went wrong here from the history is all those troops caught in Kiev. History repeating. Perhaps I should have sacrificed them by attempting to return to Moscow via Bryansk. Need to keep tabs on those heavy armour buys in the early rounds. They really affect Barbarossa.

[variance]

Yeah the winter war thing never works out well for Russia.

Thanks for the game, and please remember to post in the results thread.

Take care Simon33
