When my opponent asked if we could stop i definitely thought about it for bit, I realized I probably would be giving up some bonus points and I was having a helluva good time. I asked myself what would sportsmanly conduct look like, should I "make" my opponent continue to play? Maybe he has a good real life reason for stopping. Not saying I made the right choice or that it's somehow ethically superior, just wanted to share my ruminations.
About the scenario itself, it strikes me that maybe the victory point stages are too tight. I went from major defeat to major victory in basically 3 turns, I was able to capture about a division's worth of troops and take i think 4 VP hexes. ComradeP was able to accomplish at least twice as much yet both of us have major victories.
