True. However, some know victory is certain before the first shot is fired. At the largest tank battle in history, Kursk, Marshall Zhukov knew "the coloration of forces was in my favor." He had arrayed 3 defensive lines to exhaust the panzers. R&G likewise is going for treble damages. Zhukov got to Kursk only after his troops saved Moscow in a desperate battle earlier in the war. I am convinced the tide of battle has turned in our favor. Word of this pivotal victory should reach us in the "Jan/Feb" timeframe. So, I hope you don't mind if I polish my trumpet in anticipation of it!
