Has anyone managed to get a decisive victory on this 6 turn scenario? I got a minor victory tonight by encircling the Soviet salient SW of the Donets, but didn't have enough units to make a breakthrough across the river.

I managed a 1.9 to 1 Axis minor victory (so close to a major!) and I'm wondering if decisive is even possible [&:]

I managed a Major victory last week. I wrote an AAR about it on imgur, I'll probably put it here too when I have more time. https://imgur.com/a/AzP20

Nice AAR. Thanks for posting, I learned a few things about the weather. Also the "Current Turn Filter" is new to me. Time to update.
