Check your email, I just conceded.
Kicking myself for losing Gorky, that was completely unnecessary. I had the forces to spare. But they were deployed in the wrong place. I dropped a conscript army in Vladimir rather than Gorky. And frankly Moscow had 2-3 armies to spare as it was. In the future, I will nip this whole thing in the bud by defending Ryazan and blocking the route, which could have been done without compromising Moscow at all.
I still think Fortress Moscow works as proof of concept subject to minor tweaking. But for this mishap, you weren't going to get Moscow imo.
But that aside, I think you would've won the game anyhow by taking Rostov. I have no solution for defending that place.
