Yep, same happened to me. My HWM was in the low 800s and game kept on going past July 1st.

Great job on this AAR! The commentary and pictures really make it interesting!

OK, thanks for considering. I'm playing around with your strategy against the AI now. Also the "bypass Pskov" strategy with just the 4th PzA up north.
