@Krieghund Thanks. I don’t play a lot of 1914 so some of the mine rules are pretty wonky for me. The bit about mines halting movement in particular is pretty important.
Austria cant afford to lose Albania, but can USA afford the extra trannies it takes to contest Albania rather than shucking units to France ?
It would take the same number of transports. France and Albania are both two movements away from the US. Shucking to Albania puts US troops within 2 moves of 2 different CP capitols.
They probably should have, but they didn’t, so as the rules read right now (and even as they read in the book) there are plenty of situations when the Russian player might voluntarily choose not to counterattack a province because the Revolution is preferable to the capture of Moscow from an Allied standpoint.
At least they fixed the other problems with the Russian Revolution as written in the rulebook.
