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 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.

Combined for USA, land for Commonwealth and USSR, naval for Free France.
