Turn 99
May 9th, 1943

Baku oil fields are burning.

NOTE:

I decided to withdraw my units from three victory location hexes. I'll let the computer retake those hexes and gain 18 bonus points. I'll capture hexes again next turn. This way I will stay under 800 VPs. I want to continue playing after 1st of July check date.

Very impressive AAR and campaign!
