there are actually 3 infantry in volgo.  so please just edit one more there, to be killed mercilessly by the germans.

[boldfresh]

Ok, i’m happy to announce that this game is moving back onto the forum.  We will give cow another chance to stay quiet.  Cow, please make no strategy comments and the rest of the community can watch the game at their leisure.

I need to report that AWN and Hank have made a very honorable choice in allowing a russian edit to occur here.  There was 1 japanese infantry in samara.  the russian stack moved to caucasus and left no one behind in volgo to stop the japanese infantry from walking in.  the allies are playing to retake a european VC prior to G16.  Even if the allies manage to take a VC prior to G16, the axis has a large income advantage and will still be difficult to stop in europe.

all this to say, both teams have agreed that a victory coming from a japanese walkin to volgo is just not appropriate and would be technically unacceptable.  the russian obviously moved counting on a G15 take of volgo starting the clock.

thank you AWN and Hank for doing the honorable thing.

cheers, and looking forward to the many rounds of heavy action to come (hopefully).

attached is the official map.  russians leave 3 inf in volgo and the japanese leave their infantry in samara.
