I concede; the battle of Volgograd was 75% for me, and I lost big; so well done and it was fun!
I’ll post the results.
Good game! Thank you for the game. Yeah I was going to retreat Volgogrod but at that point, the European Theatre didn’t matter. Japan was going to take and hold Hawaii so it was 6 VCs. Well done with the Allies, though I think you should have taken the bid offered - not really fair to the Allies without one.
