Hi, The resolution for 9/1 follows. Please check it carefully for mistakes. *HIGHLIGHTS Zinoviev and Wrangel assassinated :-( Comrade D counterpurges Comrade B! Comrade F succefully purges Kalnin from Comrade C *1. TRADES None *2. MOVEMENT *Adjudicating pickups None *Adjudicating assassinations >*PLAYER B* >Use 4AM on Zinoviev. If successful, use 2 AM to assinate Muraviev. Possible targets, since B is not moving any Leaders:- Omsk *D* R/Zinoviev/2/157, R/6/G/Smol, Muraviev/1/167, R/Sablin/1/180, R/2/S/Vldv #C Attempt 1: Player B uses 4 AM on Zinoviev (E) in Omsk Roll: 8 8-2+3=9, assassination successful! :-( Omsk *D* R/Muraviev/1/167, R/Sablin/1/180, R/2/S/Vldv R/6/G/Smol PLAYER B Irreplaceable Units B/GE/2/W/Mohi, R/Zinoviev/2/157 4PM/3AM Replaceable units #C Attempt 2: Player B uses 2 AM on Muraviev (B) in Omsk (if Attempt 1 successful) Roll: 4 4-1+1=4, assassination unsuccessful! :-( PLAYER B Irreplaceable Units B/GE/2/W/Mohi, R/Zinoviev/2/157 4PM/1AM Replaceable units ************************************************************** PLAYER D Irreplaceable Units B/GE/2/B/Livo, W/Romanovsky/1/268, W/3/U/Yeka R/Kikvidze/1/169 3PM/3AM Replaceable units >*PLAYER F* >Abramov desires to assassinate Wrangel using 1 AM only. If, in his grand >tour, he gets the opportunity to do so, take it. If he misses Wrangel but >ends up in a space with other White leaders, he will attempt an >assassination with 1 AM in the following priority order; Sidorin, Yudenich, >Rodzankyo, Krasnov, Lukomsky, Ulagi. If the assassination is successful, >and able to do so, Abramov will attach any White units available. NB Clearly Markov is meant as the assassin, as the movement orders show him scouring the rail network. >- W/Markov/1/265 detach from M-M.; move by rail -> Kur -> Orel -> Tula >-> Tver -> Novg -> Tver -> Smol -> Tver -> Ryaz -> Penz -> Simb -> Kaza >-> Vya -> Kost -> Yaro -> Vlad Following this movement would cause Markov to stop in Tver, as the Green Polish stack there blocks his movement. This is his last area, and it is occupied by Wrangel :-( NB to assassinate someone, just move a leader into their area and no further. This guarantees an assassination. #C Attempt 3: Player F uses 1 AM on Wrangel (B) in Tver Roll: 11 11-3=8, assassination successful! :-( Tver W/2/G/Arch PLAYER F Irreplaceable Units W/Kappel/1/270, R/Gaii/1/177, B/BR/2/G/Arch W/Chatilov/1/266, G/TC/2/T/Dagh, W/Dutov/1/260 W/Kolchak/2/253, W/2/C/Sara, G/UK/2/U/Kiev W/Wrangel/3/252 5PM/1AM Replaceable units *Adjudicating movement *Player A None *Player B >Restack Bogomoletz with largest Red combat unit in Omsk.
