I did edit the game and finally managed to fix the german infantry stuck on the transport in the Red Sea.  The bad news is when you go back and look at the dice rolls, they turned on you in Moscow bad and wrecked your defense.  I ran the game once in local mode and ended up with one tank surviving the battle but in the real turn the dice just abused you on the first round.  Maybe the dice will turn again and help you outrageously in Paris.

I looked at Quebec combat, that is frustrating.  www.dskelly.com showed that as winning 86%, the last couple of rounds your luck has just crashed.  You’ve still got US9 and UK9 to retake Paris but the forces aren’t in your favor there.
