As a side note we've updated GS v2.2 so rail depots, mines and oilfields provide supply level 1 and you need to capture 2 rail depots in Italy to make them count as a surrender city.
at first , I am so happy about the change of the Italian surrender city of rail depots ! I am lucky to be the last victim !
at second ,any fatal mistake will effect the result of the pbem no matter it is early or late .
That is true, but an early mistake has a longer time to influence the result. If you make a mistake in France in 1944 as the Axis you speed up the fall of Germany by some months. Failing to take Paris by the Summer of 1940 means you will be catching up for the rest of the game, or at least until the Allied player makes a big mistake.
One reason for this is that the Axis player needs to do quite a bit prior to launching Barbarossa. Case Yellow and taking France, Battle of the Atlantic, Balkans, Scandinavia, North Africa etc. If one operation doesn't go smoothly it means the others will be affected too. The Axis player is on a very tight schedule time and PP wise to be able to launch a May 1941 Barbarossa with decent strength.
