@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:

@SuperbattleshipYamato this is the only battle (the Austrians attacked on their turn and that turn is posted above)
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato also, before I forget, you made a small mistake on the French turn. This is a rule violation:
from page 15 of the rule book, "at the end of this phase [Movement phase] you must have at least one infantry unit in each territory in which you have land units and/or fighters.
So it should have been 125 attacking French infantry, not 126. One infantry would have had to babysit the fighter in Paris. Very small concern in this battle but it can be a big concern in some future game.
-
Oh. I always thought it was at the end of a turn.
Super crap. Always thought I could move equipment without infantry into capitals, knowing they’ll be at least one infantry in that capital.
That screws over, like, all of my solitaire (is that what you call them) games.
Let’s be nice and say that infantry unit in Picardy missed in the Burgundy battle, so the Germans took the same amount of casualties.
The dice weren’t nice to me anyways…
-
6 infantry, 5 artillery.

By the way, you can edit it for me.

I think we should just leave it “as is” at this point. That extra French infantry has less options where he is so if were going to call his dice a miss, lets just call it a wash.
