"I was referring to the Russian units in the southwest, which face little opposition initially and which start relatively close to objectives. Territorial gains elsewhere combined with Russian cavalry in the rear might cause a sudden death victory based on comments from players thus far that the Russians were in some cases close to victory (before the arrival of German units from the northern part of the map) without a breakthrough to the German rear."
That cavalry starts the game with 90 fatigue, has no support and if you try to use them for anything other than scouting for your infantry advance they will soon get into serious trouble; although the German player better be aware of them and the propensity by some players to go for a ride. jonny
