I figured it out, as River Patroller said, higher skill levels increase game length. Thank you!!!

UPDATE - Problem seems to be solved, current game date is October 5, 1941, on intermediate skill. Solution seems to be playing on higher skill level. Hello! Brand new to the site, please forgive my mistakes at this tender age. For my first post, I have a question about a game. Eastern Front 1941, on an Atari 800 with 48k RAM. Running on real hardware, no emulation. I'm currently playing and am becoming increasingly frustrated by the fact that I cannot get passed turn 14. I have read through the manual several times and researched on the internet for the passed 3 days. I do understand the mechanics of moving, attacking, supply, etc enough that I can push the russians around pretty well, but no matter what I do I invariably get a Game Over on September 28th game time, or turn 14. I'm testing out the different difficulty levels as I am typing this post, on intermediate right now, but I expect the same result. All sources say the game runs for 41 turns, and ends on March 29, 1942. What is wrong? Is my cartidge damaged? Is there something about the game that the manual isn't telling me? Is my computer broken? Thanks for any helpful input!
