I believe that every Russian plane that they have lost this game has been overrun and destroyed on the ground -- they have lost none in air-to-air combat. Is this correct?

Just one more oddity in this very odd game.
I thought I knew how to play this game....

I believe you are correct, Courtenay. I've never seen the USSR collapse like this, and the German commander deserves a lot of credit. Of course, he had some help from his Russian counterpart.

Germany need 3 BPs added due to VF trade.

Didn't USSR need a BP edited in as well? Or is that already done?

There is a German oil missing in Argentina. No action needed for this for now.

Allied RTB save sent.
