If you don’t mind, I’d like to amend the non-combat phase.

Put one infantry in West Russia from Russia instead of Caucasus.

Otherwise, you will roll right into Russia from Ukraine with Armor…

Thanks.

Obtained a copy of Second Edition. Board is noticeably bigger. I think I could probably play a game on it - unlike first edition’s out-of-box board. I think it will be a fun version to play.
