@the_good_captain I need to sleep on it/think about how the rest of the game is going to play out from here. Will get back to you in the morning.
@domanmacgee not that it should matter in your decision making process but this is sort of a game theory moment / point of experimentation for me. I have wondered about a moment like this where it seems vague as to which is more a benefit. In other words, this may be a blunder on the part of the Entente - or not. I don’t know - I don’t which decision I won’t like more. I take solace in not having to make it beyond what I’ve already done.
@the_good_captain I think due to the relative lack of CP forces in Russia compared to their Russian counterparts, I am going to need to accept armistice and see if the German stack can be put to work elsewhere on the map. Based on the calcs I’ve run it’s going to take another 4 sounds or so to kill off the Moscow stack (barring good dice) and the game might outright be over by then, long before I have time to put the 12 remaining Russian IPCs (Moscow/Karelia/Finland/Tartarstan/Kazakhstan) to any use.
Will post G7 later.

I swapped out 1 Ottoman INF in Tartarstan and 1 AH INF in Moscow for “Neutral Central” counterparts in order to allow the rest of the CP units to move out. I also converted the remaining Russian territories to “Contested” control just so I/we can better measure the IPC/TUV counts going forward.
@domanmacgee before I roll for UK turn, I’m going to exchange two inf for a fighter (purchase change) -saying this for completeness

@the_good_captain Remind me. Are the Ottomans in Tartarstan allowed to attack into Sevastopol or do I have to move them to friendly ground (Ukraine) this turn?
@domanmacgee they are free to attack. I was in the same boat as you and Krieghund cleared it up. Those shared territories are like little Cambodias. The CP can attack from them and never be attacked.
@the_good_captain got it. I figured that was the answer but wanted to double check before committing to the turn.

@domanmacgee with Russia out of everything - you can just do a double turn
@the_good_captain I know. I just had to sleep on G8 to decide which direction to send the German stack. The AH turn was more set in stone.
