another dice swing… also - since the Russian Revolution cannot be avoided and terms must be extended to the CP. They will accept. In lieu of your overwhelming army throwing any dice, I will remove the CP units left in combat as well as all the Russian units. I will nullify the contested territories and Russian territories not under CP control. Romania is still in play in contested status as a “neutral” country. I will upload the end of Russia turn, then I will take Germany’s turn. Sound good?
-
let me know if you have any question or see something wrong but I think I got it. Here is “R6” - post-revolution (mines also removed per the FAQ). I’ll wait for your okay before executing G6.
-
@the_good_captain RR cannot be triggered if Moscow is CP-controlled as per the rules (unless something got errata’d that I am not aware of):
My intent for R6 is to intentionally withdraw from Moscow and let AH take it, thus preserving the core Russian stack and allowing it to continue making progress on the board.
Do you have a means of reverting the game state to the end of AH6 before you enforced the RR?
-
@domanmacgee yes, the AH6 upload. hah! and good call on giving up the capital! rock onward
-
Actually, I can save us both a lot of time and concede the game here. The whole strategy is/was predicated on the Revolution. The CP is not long for this world with that massive army running around. I see now that AH should have spread its forces evenly between the three territories adjacent.
-
@the_good_captain NP. If you wanna do a rematch that’s fine.
Re: The RR, I knew you were going for it as soon as like round 3 so I had to awkwardly dance around with the main Russian stack until you messed up by splitting the Austrian/German stacks. At that point it was a matter of just blowing up one of them and winning via Defeat in Detail because combat in this version gets really out of control if one side can get a strong initial round of combat in.
I did like your take on having Germany run down to help AH Vs. Italy/France actually. If Russia went sideways for one reason or another I was getting ready to either forfeit or turtle in Rome and pray that ferrying guys in with USA would be enough to hold out indefinitely. You also held out with Ottomans better than people I’ve played IRL, who just waste their stacks either futilely attacking into India/Russia or going on a fool’s errand into North Africa.
If you want to go again, do you want to swap sides or do you keep wanting to grind out experience as the Central Powers? I’m good for either.

Re: The RR, I knew you were going for it as soon as like round 3 so I had to awkwardly dance around with the main Russian stack until you messed up by splitting the Austrian/German stacks.
I’m surprised to hear you thought that is/was a mistake. Those 6 infantry on Moscow have a have a 10% chance of causing a contested zone in one of those three adjacent territories (if I hadn’t made that noob mistake of entering the capital).
I can start it from the top of AH6 if you want me to demonstrate that?
When you say forfeit, do you mean that if I hadn’t attacked Moscow like a dummy and you couldn’t create a contested zone on R6, you were going to forfeit the game?
-
@domanmacgee well, heck now I’m REALLY interested to see how you play the CP. I might take you up on flipping sides and going again if you’re cool with it.
-
ah, it just hit me. The Russian air units. Right. that would have pushed it into the ball park of 78% chance of creating a contested zone somewhere in there. mind blown.
-
@domanmacgee sorry to word bomb this thread so much. but for the record (and for my future self). In this game I ignored trying to take the Russian capital and focused solely on trying to cause the Revolution. I did this because in a previous game, I captured the capital and had problems with British coming through Sevastopol and so wanted to try something different in this game. I can see that focusing on the Revolution outcome at the expense of capturing the capital is a lukewarm prospect at best. It asks (probably) too much from the CP. The Rus airforce needs to be nil or nonexistant and the counterattack option on Russia’s final turn needs to be met with 2:1 odds across the three territories to have a ‘reasonable’ chance of success.
