The game ended in turn 5 with the Germans down to 50%. As they'd lost their 1iC the automatically failed, resulting in an Allied victory, but it was a close run thing.
Overall an enjoyable game, especially the massed parachute drop at the start. Will definately play this one again.
Feel free to leave a comment. Happy gaming.
