World in Flames Redux

[Nort]

Deturk and I are finishing up. Waiting for his last turn this morning. I have secured a Major Victory for the Allies.

Deturk and I are of a mind that this scenario is balanced in such a way as to provide an advantage for the Allied player. However, we see that some Axis players have achieved Major Victories. Can anyone share with us how they, as the Axis player, achieved such a result? Does the Axis player fight a delaying/retreating action, preserving units and inflicting casualties along the way, rather than standing and dying on the VP hex locations?
