As a Canadian I am impressed by the convenience of using Wikipedia to find information. :-D The “Comrade Volgin” joke comes from elsewhere, however.
Anyway…you spent time for reading and now you are enlightened…
Yes, Wikipedia is useful. :)
By the way, I didn’t know where to express surprise about Moscow being the capital in a&a 1914 so I write it here.
This is addressed in the official FAQ by the way:
@FAQ:
Q. Why is Russia’s capital in Moscow? St. Petersburg was the capital in 1914.
A. This was a design decision. While St. Petersburg was the actual capital at the time, Moscow was also
a very important city. Moscow was a hub of military and economic activity. The game simply plays a
lot better with Russia mobilizing its troops in a more central location, plus St. Petersburg is just too
close to Berlin. The capital probably would have been relocated to Moscow anyway had it been
seriously threatened.

I just wonder, why Germany doesn’t have enought control markers in my box to cover Soviet Union with Western Europe?
Is it okay?
