Re: [eia] cossacks

    Since more than one person has commented on this, apparently my purpose wasn't clear.  I was in no way trying to second guess or otherwise criticize Jim's orders.  They seem perfectly fine to me.  I was simply trying to remind everyone (myself included) about how cossacks work.  That's it.  My apologies if it seemed to anyone like I thought there was a problem with Jim's orders.

    I don't know about everyone else, but I had forgotten how cossacks work when they are by themselves.  So, as a public service, I figured I'd remind everyone (including myself).  10.1.2.2.3 says that cossacks always get to retreat automatically unless the attacking force has a cavalry corps with them.  And then they still have a 2/3 chance of retreating.

Well, moving a corps there did open up the supply line to Minsk.
