No, the instructions on forum dice also confused me when I first tried. They couldn’t type the actual formula with brackets, or else it would do the calculation. Even thereafter, I would forget the exact format until I did it enough times to remember.
The extra 7+/- income per turn will offset Russia’s tech gain.

All you economist sissies, real men research offensive tech. Yes, we Huns are offensive, and proud of it.

Wow, Sweden is a tough neighborhood. Both neutral defenders hit. Then the Brits weakened me for the Ruskies to take their shot. Less than half of my 16-man army survived the first turn. Good thing I take HGs along with me. Finland bulked up quickly. May have to stay in Sweden for a massage from a blonde beauty and eat some Swedish meatballs.

Rules question: Several times I’ve playtested or in a game tried to blitz a mobile cav through 2 enemy territories and then return to the first territory that I moved thru; but the AI won’t let me. I can continue on to blitz thru a third enemy territory; or into a different territory that another of my cavs passed through. I just can’t retreat. What gives?

@Private-Panic Brits finally decided they needed boots on the ground to contest Scand, more than they needed more ships. I wish I could end the naval arms race, but I can’t have UK send 4 transports and 5 bombarders every turn against Scand. And I have lots of cash, and Kaiser Wilhelm loves his navy as much as George V.

Germans are popping up everywhere, like dandelions after a spring rain. Behind every bush, under your child’s bed at night. “Catch us if you can” (Dave Clark Five). You’ll really be in trouble when we train our cavalry to swim the Channel.

At the end of 6 rounds, CP have virtually caught up to Entente in cash and production. And Round 7 will see some major objectives conquered.

@Witt Please move 1 Ger infantry from Champagne > Franche C.

@colt45554 No, it’s in reserve.
