There where only two right decisions imo.
1) The game goes to VON because of the DEVMs bug splat, simple as that.
2) VON could man up and admit that the game was over.
Because it was VON, you had a P4 with no health and no repairs, 3 Fussis, only one of them with 6 man, 111 MP, 7 Munis, 40 Fuel and NO map control.
DEVM had 2 M10s, 1 Bulldozer Sherman and 1 Stuart. 1 MG, 2 RM and LT + CPT.
Anything other then that was wrong (that's why we have this Shitstorm now).
P.S. I read your post and couldn't see the Lie from A_E in there, maybe i am blind.
Also don't forget, you said YES to the agreement.
This game was OVER and you know it. Don't get me wrong, i was on your side. I was hopping to see you in England, fighting for USA
