Re: [eia] Siege of Silistra, May 1805

["Kyle H" <menexenus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Since you were never given a choice in the matter previously and since
knowing the result of the dice rolls is irrelevant to the decision-making
process, I see no reason not to say that your currently expressed desires
should dictate what happened in the siege battle.  So the garrison at
Silistra surrendered, thereby avoiding combat and preventing Turkey from
receiving the +1 political point.  I'm sure everyone would agree that you
cannot be forced to accept a result just because someone rolled dice for
you, especially when the result of the die rolls are irrelevant to the
decision you would have made.
    So unless you inform me differently, I will assume that there was a
surrender at Silistra after the breach.
