It was worth a try
Definitely. Crushing Moscow is worth a ton.

Thank you for confirming.
Take your time - I can do Germany only in the evening.
-
I would’ve taken an inf as casualty though, so I’ll adjust that.
If Italy had gotten 3 or 4 hits there I think Germany would’ve had a great shot at conquering Moscow. I allowed it because I felt a bit outstretched. Really wanted to control Bryansk for atleast one more turn.

No stress here (with the game). Mainly just trying to survive (in life).
