Retreat from Yugo to Romania.

I’m going to assume those Moscow fighters are meant to intercept (obviously, let me know if this is wrong).

[wheatbeer]

Just so you know, Romania is only a retreat option if an attacking unit passed through it to get to YUGO.  Sending infantry from HUN does not accomplish that.  You could have sent an EPL tank though if you want to roll/move one to make it to YUGO.

[Jercules]

That’s what I did. 5 tanks in EP; 2 take BEL and NUk, one activates BUL, and one blitzes thru Romania (3 remaining in EP).
