@The_Good_Captain
The French will invade Albania with the goal of using the naval bombardments to clear out the defending Artillery. I double-checked the rules, and even if the Artillery clean out my Infantry on the shore defense rolls, the BBs still get to fire. However, I don’t know if the game engine will allow the BBs to proceed and fire if I remove the Infantry from the space, so be prepared for some Edit Mode fixing.

Alright as promised here’s my brain dump on the Russian situation. First I ask the question “can Russia be saved BY ME?”, which is a different question than “can Russia be saved at all, by anyone?” I looked at some of your games as the Entente and it looked like you haven’t cracked a reliable way to get past turn 5. So, if I start from the premise that Russia dies no matter what, then what is the best outcome? If I do Ukraine->Belarus->Moscow->Block RR->RR, and have a large stack of Russians removed from the map, with equally large stacks of CP units now free to march west, this seems like a very poor plan. It feels far better to have the Russians go down kicking and screaming taking as many CPs with them on the way down as possible rather than simply being removed from the board without even rolling dice.

So if I can’t get past turn 5 with conventional play, can I at least get to turn 6 with an unconventional move? The only options here are move to Poland to block the advance of the German stack (which I thought about hard but vetoed) or move to Ukraine to block the advance of the AH stack. Blocking the AH stack is probably better since I can at least support that direct from Moscow. After that it gets more challenging since I have to guess as to what is your preferred method of knocking out Russia. Do you want RR no matter what or will you take what you can get. Russia turn 4 felt like the last turn I could successfully do both. Now on UK 4 I have to choose between giving you 1% or 23% on Moscow vs. being able to block RR on turn 5. I decided to block RR, so now that I passed the 23% roll Russia will have their turn 6 and my goals from the outset of the game will have been met. It might have been an error to not move 1 British Infantry into Tatarstan so that I had the option to move Sevastopol->Tatarstan to block any AH move, but I likely wouldn’t have moved up there anyway since I don’t have enough threatening Mesopotamia if I do.

Last word, if AH does any kind of suicidal attack on Moscow kill ALL the UK units before touching any Russians.

O5.tsvg I think with oob rules, as the CP, its not really prudent to accept the revolution if the Russian army fights in even one big battle. As the Russian player, its better to fight with your army and then (I feel) escape north and drag as much of the CP army as you can away from the areas of the board that matter.

G6.tsvg They’re the aggregate dice for the game so far. Land combats only (no air or naval) and adjusted for overkills. It’s about as honest a snapshot as possible that I know. Helps (me at least) to gain some clarity on that otherwise invisible aspect of the game and informs (me) on how much risk to accept in battles going forward.

More trouble with Edit Mode making sure the London->Belgium move goes correctly. I forgot to swap out the guy in Livonia before I ended Combat Movement, but at least now I have a partial answer to my question from before- when I swapped the UK for True Neutral Infantry and then clicked the button for the Livonia fight, it did something and then exited out without me needing to click anything, so that worked out. But still an open question I guess what would have happened if I still had BBs that needed to fire. I knew after I completed the R5 French turn I probably should have moved to Picardy instead of Burgundy… but that’s part of why my men call me “The Butcher” ;).
