The Double 1's for the movement of the Russian central command, poised as it was to outflank my center, was an especially had blow. Chances of that happening - 1 in 144!

I was able top make the most of my advantage in Cavalry numbers and quality, and this time Barry wasn't able to do the same with his artillery advantage.
