I am curious what people think should constitute a "victory" in this scenario? After being on the business end of a good old fashion spanking by the Axis I am interested to hear of other people's ideas of what it takes to declare OVERWHELMING victory.
This ties in with the Sealion thread in that I think it is premature for the Axis to declare an OV while the UK still stands. However, as the game stands now it would be hard if not impossible for the Axis to defeat the home islands even after destroying Russia. Does this truly represent an OV for Germany to have an invincible aircraft carrier parked off her coast?
My belief is that in a "total-war" such as WWII there should be much more stress on total-destruction of the opposite side, rather than tiddling with 3 and 5VP hexes all over the map. Once there is a realistic chance for Sealion to work (based on proposed changes in the TO) I would like to suggest a reworking of the VP's such that Germany cannot attain anything better than a Significant Victory without also defeating the Brits.
Once Russia is gone, it would be interesting to see the might of the entire Axis empire focused solely on a few hexes of southern England squaring off against the UK, all the Amis, and the rebel Russians. It would just make the post fall-of-the-USSR blues go away a little bit sooner as well as make Germany think twice about squandering everything in the conquest of Russia...
