Last night before going to bed, the prefect strategy for this scenarion suddenly dawned upon myself: if I retreat the eastern front westwards behind the western front, and retreat the western front eastwards behind the eastern front, and then during the night all German soldiers quickly hide behind the trees, then the next morning the British/Americans will defend the German eastern lines against the Russians, while the Russians will defend the German western lines against the British/Americans.
Russians, Americans and Brithismen could then all enjoy this war by themselves without needing us, and meanwhile the Germans could go and do more sensible things like skiing in Norway or protecting the vineyards at Bordeaux....
