You talked about how you shouldn’t withdraw from Moscow and avoid the Revolution, if, among other things, the Russian army is too small.
How small is too small? How about 13 infantry, 15 artillery, and 1 fighter in Moscow, and no units anywhere else?

I’m having trouble understanding the question. Did I say this in the video? I’ll take a stab at the subject - the Russian player should try to bleed the CP player for as much troops and gear as possible. If they don’t fight, they leave themselves open to death by “bear hug”.
Otherwise, if the CP have fought with the Russians in one or more large, set piece battles, it is most likely in the CP interest to capture all the territories of Russia except Sevastopol and Kazakhstan.
The most useful aspect of the Revolution rule is that it keeps the Russian player near their capital (if they charge off towards the Ottomans or Austria they will be “disappeared” quite quickly by a savvy CP player via the Revolution) and it forces them to defend their capital inefficiently.
-
From direct messages:
"I’m going to go out on a limb and say - I think you are trying to recreate the example of the Russian army evacuating the capital as is demonstrated in the Russian Revolution youtube video. If you are/were trying to recreate that, here is why I feel very strongly that this move is not good in the game we are currently playing.
-
the move demonstrated in the video has the CP trying to bear hug the capital - that is not happening in our case as the CP have not hugged the capital - there is no bear hug
-
in the video, the Russian army is in extremely good shape. for that move to hit max effect, youd want a large russian army on the map - the current russian army is not large as it has fought many, many battles. there is very little to save at this point in the game"
You put other reasons that I have already found to be true.
My question is mainly whether 13 infantry, 15 artillery, and 1 fighter in Moscow count as “very little” or too little to justify escaping to Karelia.
-
-
Assuming all the other three points you listed were true.

@SuperbattleshipYamato I can see I am speaking to a specific game we played. I don’t remember the game. If you can find the game and repost here, I can better understand the context.
-
I’m asking for help on a different game.
My question is simply:
If you’re cornered in Moscow, the Central Powers are trying to do a Bearhug (or at least I assume they are, they have a big army in Livonia and Ukraine) the Revolution will activate if you don’t do anything in this turn, Sevastopol is in Allied hands, and you can withdraw to Karelia, if you have 13 infantry, 15 artillery, and 1 fighter in Moscow, should you withdraw and save the army and give up the capital, or should you stay put and defend to the death in Moscow?
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato I understand this is a different game. That’s why I was asking for it for reference. I understand that your question is simple. The answer is not. The answer is almost always going to be complex and so that’s why I was asking for the game file.
My answer, without seeing the map, is that “it depends”. I’m assuming the capital is contested. Maybe the CP army in the capital can be crushed by the Russians. Maybe the russians can create a minimum amount of contested zones to put off the Revolution. Maybe its best to give the capital up and race northward into finland and hold out there for as long as possible and drag the CP armies northward and away from the rest of the fighting in the game. I would have to look at the specific health of the Russian army (which you’ve described) and the quantity/quality and position of the CP armies (which you have not described) before I make a judgment call on this.

Sorry that I wasn’t clear.

Here it is:
Okay I see it. I would buy 5 infantry and 1 artillery. For the movement phase, I would send two infantry into Belarus and take everything else and slam it into Livonia. This would avoid the revolution for one more turn and rip up the German army in Livonia. On the AH turn they will likely take the Russian capital. On the subsequent Russian turn, back all the survivors into Karelia for a final stand that pulls the CP armies up north.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:
