The Storm in the East Tournament - Round 1

[TedR]

In any tournament that is based on total scores I believe it a mistake to allow a player to just surrender his forces and thus giving all the points to his opponent.
As iluvmy88 said some or all of the VL's were still In dispute.
Could it have been possible for the Russians to have fallen back or made some attempt to slow an Axis advance?
Just by sitting still they could have caused minimal causalities and the score would not have been so lopsided.
Even if it's not in the rules I don't think it's right.
And it's not fair to the other players trying to scratch for every point they can make to take in to the next round.
To surrender and take a zero? That's like giving up on the whole tournament.

But that's just my opinion.
