You're really progressing much better than I anticipated. Well done!

Would you be willing to upload the latest save? I'd be really interested to see how you set up your army, your rails etc. Would help me out a lot, as I'm trying to take in as much information as possible!

Here is the save at the beginning of turn 89.

Looking good for Baku before July 1st with all of those mobile units in Daghestan. Should be able to start pulling out infantry from the Caucuses to shore up the Don flank once you capture the remaining Black Sea ports. Soviets in a world of hurt without Baku oil production even if the game goes beyond July 1st. Looking good.
