RR needs replacing with Russian Civil War.
More complicated to explain, much simpler to implement in practice.
We played a game again today and my friend who played as the allies even said it was stupid that RR would not count as a victory city and told me he didn’t want to play with the RR rules because he thought they where not fair.
@Imperious:
It might be me, but I’m reading a lot of talk about the “spaces” issue and some about the RR, but what about the US transports? I’m assuming the rule change will be that the US cannot buy transports until they are at war or that they cannot put them in sea zones that do not border home territories, but where can I find that? Can anyone give me the exact rule changes? I’d appreciate that very much. And what exactly has changed about the RR rule?
Morning Koningstiger.
You should find the answers on page 14 of the FAQ.
I am not sure if the RR rules have been agreed upon as yet.
US can buy transports, and as far as I can tell can move them anywhere, but they cannot load them with units until they are at war.
Personally I don’t think any US ships should be allowed to move over the pond before then, it just creates unwanted confusion.
I didn’t find the need to move the US transports before turn 4- you probably want 5-6 US transports landing in Rome or Belgium in the nick of time.
I like the idea of Germany deciding to accept the RR armistice or continu fighting. It was Germany who smuggled uncle Vladimir to Russia to stir things up there.

Yes, that’s a good idea. In practice they were more than happy with the territorial gains in Russia and the ablity to transfer much needed troops to the western front (which in the game takes months, strangely enough…), but had they been doing better in the West and might fighting on in the east have led to even greater territorial gains, I suppose they might have opted for that instead.

You could even describe this as the deployment by Germany of a weapon of mass distraction.
This is why my Civil War rules have the Bolsheviks controlled by Germany/CPs, and the Whites being the remaining original Russians still under Allied control.
Lenin did everything he could to broker a treaty granting half of Russia to the Germans, then had to fight off the Allies who wanted to reopen the eastern front against Germany.
I’m surprised people are reporting that the CPs can knock out Russia, then turn west. Why are the British not moving into Karelia and Sevastopol to retake CP conquests?
