T85 Peace with America
Roosevelt barely has enough time to replace the impeached Vice-President Wallace with Joseph Kennedy before he himself is impeached. Going with Kennedy rather than Truman is seen as an indication of how the war is going.
After the inauguration President Joe Kennedy wastes no time inviting the Fuhrer to the White House for friendly talks.

C'est un Bordeaux! 1945 will be an awesome year for Bordeaux wine but not sur that you will still be there to appreciate it [:D]
So true. According to this totally 200% accurate world map of the future, in 1945 i will probably be in the great America Reich subduing some sort of native rebellion....
How right you were!

The Defence of Saratov Begins One Hex North of Krasnodar
Something should be said about the movements of 1st Panzer Army. It danced around the battlespace better than George Best could around the football pitch. To continue the football analogy, the Soviet side was using zonal defence instead of man marking. So when 1st Panzer Army was nowhere important, no one picked them up. When they were somewhere very important no one was left to pick them up.
1st Panzer Army surrounded Rostov on turn 54, got to the Black Sea coast at Novorossiysk on turn 56 and the gates of Grozny on turn 57 before turning north and crossing the Volga east of Stalingrad on turn 59. By turn 65 it had crossed the Volga again north of Saratov.
I know the feeling was units could not have been afforded for the defence of the Caucasus - but is there a question of could you afford not to? A few units at Krasnodar to slow the Panzer army down was less than the units needed to stop them at Saratov.
(For those who do not know George Best this will enlighten you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbVatiHiQrc you can also similarly use Eric Cantona or Zinedine Zidane)
I think Turn 59 was decisive from that standpoint. Ist Panzer Army had taken much territory in the South, but it seemed the Soviets did not retract the big bulge in the center to start thinking the defensive lines needed to shorten to free units for the South. From My perspective that was the last turn to stretch the lines South. By turn 65 it is far too late.

Right from turn 1 of this game I already had our surrender statement ready for when the Soviet team entered Berlin. I guess I may as well describe it now. It was to announce that all the Axis team that had been playing the game had in fact been international identity fraudsters who had hijacked our accounts. Having overpowered them we could welcome our Soviet liberators and look for their help in our leading the new international socialist Germany as we were in fact life time communists. Oh yes and sorry about some of the damage left by some of our nationals the past few years.
