twice now I have backed out of Moscow when faced with the strong German advance such as this and both times it has gone horribly wrong……I think in the future I just have to stay put and take my medicine in Moscow…

I am pleased with Asia and perhaps the UK as a whole but the russian collapse is not an easy pill to swallow.

@hobo:

I would never leave moscow, but that’s just me.  Several players I’ve played against seem to prefer leaving.  I would just put up the best defense I can and hope for the best.

in all the past editions of this game, I would never leave either but I thought if you could make a better, alter stand in Volograd or EGY even it would make sense but this idea doesn’t seem to hold much water either……

I need to wrap my head around this turn hobo. sorry for the delay.
