Thanks for the AAR [8D].

Thanks, it is a lot of work, so many turns. Lucky that Stalin had so may pithy comments.

I will post again when I get done working, tonight.

From the excerpts of his journal, one might almost think old Joe a most genial chap.  You must be presenting us with only an expurgated copy.

Scholars suspect it was heavily edited before "discovery". It is well remembered how he stormed when Churchill refused entry into Skopje, which was so needed. Stalin pointed out that when the Red Army took Bulgaria he allowed the Greco-British forces to reclaim Greek territory only to have them do nothing to help the forces aiding them. The lack of Lend Lease, even after Pearl Harbor in September 1941 was also bitterly, and profanely, denounced. Perhaps Stalin kept a cooler head when he took pen in hand.
