Replied, our formidable grenzers will cover our orderly retreat from Linz back to our capital and our Russian friends.

Couldn't you have sent the army in vienna to linz with the grenzer card?

I could, but now he needs to activate again to get a decisive battle.

File sent. Charles attacked Massena in Milan and after a lacklustre battle over two days withdrew after what both sides will view as a victory but is a draw in game terms. Exactly the same number of dice in both rounds, total of 17 each, but we only scored three hits each.

Any particular reason why the Russians don't do their turn?

Moving a stack into warsaw with Bagration. 6+2 vs 2 battle. Am france has only two cards left in his hand, so I am proceeding on the assumption that france will NOT play cards.

Message from Russia:
Battle in Warsaw:

Attacking Russians (first) have 9 dice (6 units, 2 for leader, 1 for national bonus)

Defending Poles (last) have 4 dice (2 for units, 2 for national bonus, since the poles are all french)

13 dice rolled, first 9 russian, last 4 polish. Kills on 6 and disrupt on 5. Poles cannot evade since they have no friendly or controlled dutchy to evade to.

Russia takes no casualties, france receives 5 disrupts and since poland cannot retreat to a friendly or controlled dutchy it can A) voluntarily get disbanded or B) retreat to lublin after suffering attrition. Assuming B) I'll roll for attrition of the two poles going into lublin.

Attrition of poles going to Lublin. They are french and it gets halved.

I spend CP 2/4 to flag warsaw and CP 3/4 to move to lublin.

The French all die, that is rout. And disruption hits are kills in a rout.

Message from Russia:
Battle of Lublin, still no chance for poles to evade.

9 Russian dice against 3 French(Polish) dice.
First 9 russian last 3 polish

Poles Suffer 1 disrupt, Russia suffers nothing. I still can't kill these bastards!

Though a fine reading of the Combat rules tell me that I didn't get an Overrun since the poles were not all killed. So I can't advance to Lublin.

I wish.

QuoteA victor inflicting at least three more casualties than he suffered
(regardless of the Round(s) in which they were inflicted), causes
a rout.

I only could inflict 2 casualties. So I have to take back my battle of Lublin and return to warsaw. I know, I think it's pretty stupid, that I can rout a size 3 formation, but not a size 2 formation.

However if Berkut is right and I am wrong then someone should tell me right away.

No, Berkut is definitely correct.  Just because there are not 3 CUs to hit doesn't mean that a force smaller than 3 cannot be routed--the Poles are ousted at Warsaw, you get a flag overrun (free flag in Warsaw) and now have the remainder of your CPs to spend.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

OK so to clarify my turn

1/4 Move to Warsaw with Bagration + 6I kill 2 poles get free flag placement in Warsaw
2/4 Move Bagration + 6I to Lublin
3/4 Move Bagration + 6I to Krakow
4/4 Move Bagration + 6I to Moravia
