Oops, messed up on the button mashing there.  I think you’re right, likely Germany will crush the Russian army in Samara even though I retreated to maximize their small chance of winning.

Yes, you have eight VCs and after the German move I probably won’t have a Russian army to retake them.  But if you take them on I13, you haven’t held the eight VCs for a complete round until I14.  I know that tripleA will give an early victory announcement before the complete round is done, is that misleading you?
