I have mentioned it before and I will mention it here again:

Anyone (probably primarily Germans) who are good with sudden death victory conditions for 1941 should have no issue with sudden death victory conditions in spring of 1942. If you are ok with one, but not the other, you need to first take a good long hard look in the mirror, realize you are a fan boy of one side or the other and then seek professional help. [:D]

I think something like this would help in the following ways:

1. Curb the use of run away strategies by both sides (i.e. Soviets in summer and Germans in Winter). Both these strategies are ahistorical and would have never been sanctioned by either dictator.

2. End clearly one sided games early rather than allowing an obstinate player dragging out a game that is really over.

3. Forcing players to fight in 1941, making games more exciting with the knowledge of the possibility of sudden death.

Remember this would be an Optional rule. Either coded or house. You don't like it, don't use it.

How many times do we need to say it?

Rather than muddying the waters for people who might be interested in developing a house rule or optional rule just move on and leave it. How hard can it be?

FWIW there are many games that have sudden death optional rules for campaign scenarios. Its not like this is unheard of before.
