Right.
I held Kiev until winter 1942, then started retaking cities. Didn't get very far in the north, but was v. successful in the south. Then, at the end of winter 1942, I decided to try attacking Romania, and took all three of the nearest cities. Is this a cheat? It seemed reasonable to make a seaborne invasion, but after I took Romania, Germany crumbled in the south, and they stacked their entire army of about 140 units in perekop - I got them all in the 1st turn of summer with about 20 shturmoviks which I'd been buying for a while, and got Berlin in Summer 1943 - there was almost no opposition, only a few tanks here and there and the units fortified in the cities. Also, very few Volkssturm. The Americans never took anywhere in any of the games I've played - actually they got a city in S. Italy once, but the Germans pushed them out of it again.
BTW, is airlifting from Archangelsk down to Grozny/Baku considered fair play or not? If I hadn't done it, I wouldn't have been able to do anything like so well.
