Bischofsburg, East Prussia, 26th August 1914: As the fighting was beginning to rage on the 2nd Russian Army's left flank near Tanneberg, the right flank came under heavy attack as well. In the area of Bischofsburg, the Russian VI Army Corps had been tasked with holding the flank, oriented northeast for a possible German advance from the vicinity of Rastenburg. On the night of 25-26 August, Russian Cossacks had brought news of massive German forces advancing from Seeburg and Lautern. The unbelievable had occurred; instead of meeting a small covering force on the flank, the VI Army Corps had made contact with two full German corps that had retreated in the face of the Russian 1st Army, and who were now part of a concerted offensive aimed at destroying the Russian 2nd Army's right wing.

With that said the CP is tight on time (run to the objectives!). I feel waiting to recover fatigue is second to reaching the objectives. The Allies can't cover everywhere, but are forced too because of the CP cavalry and their speed. So it will go to the very end and it is anyone's game.
I got lucky and grabbed an objective on the last turn, my opponent played an excellent game. It is a lot of ground for both sides to cover.
The Russians must cover the exit hex at Bartelsdorf and if the Germans attack in strength from 2 or 3 directions there is little the Russians can do.
