1. on the retreat issue I have already made clear my point that a XXX
must retreat towards a depot that can supply it and is in an area that
can be entered and stayed in by the retreating XXX
2. the revisions to the rules I sent were not meant to be used in this
game
3. to speed up the game
if the board wants to throw Russia out of the game and give Prussia lots
of PPs, have her in a Dominant position, controlling a compact area that
can use interior lines and having the use of the forces of five minor
countries (Hanover, Hesse, Saxony, Denmark and Poland) minimum, then the
board can do it but will have to fight for it. I know my chances of
defending against four (or more) nations are non-existent at best, but I
simply cannot willingly put myself in a second rate power place; you
will have to force me to unconditional surrender
please don't bother to comment on this, it won't change my decision
