@the_good_captain I whiffed 4 @3s in one of the Moscow-adjacents so you have the option to RR. Before we get to that, though, pick your OOL in Livonia:

You need at least 1 INF left alive, so I’m guessing it’s going to be the German one unless you want to take extra ART losses for whatever reason.

@domanmacgee Wait I think I read the rule wrong. Looks like you need to hard-control 3 territories so the fact that Karelia/Livonia are at least contested means I’m safe for now. Just LMK your OOL and we can move on to G5.

@domanmacgee one german infantry left is good
