The game gods must have wanted to reward me for all the crashes I endured up to version 1.009, because fortune has smiled on my brave Russians in the first 3 days of my first bug-free campaign game.
It started off when my force of 3 PCs out of Port Arthur pounced on a small force of 3 -- count 'em, 3 -- marus off the coast of Chemulpo. Needless to say, they all ended up in Davie Joneski's locker.

I next sent out all the PA DD's and ML's to mine the port near Assam basin. Unfortunately, a force of 4 Japanese PCs crept up behind them in the dark, so when we went to the battle screen they were only a few hundred meters behind my entire column. A wild scrmable ensued in which once I again I learned that DD's and TB's cannot do much to PCs. While losing 10 DDs and 1 ML, however, I did manage to damage all 4 PCs.
And then, a BB TF I had sent out earlier was able to catch up with the damaged PCs and pummel all 4 of them into the deep (only 1 BB suffered light damage). I'll trade 10 DDs for 4 PCs any day.
16998
Next, the fast PC out of Vladisvostok (Bogatyr?) sailed down the coast of Japan, sinking 1 maru and 1 AC, and damaging some TBs that got too close.
According to the game, the Russian are "barely" winning. Should that be "bearly"? :laugh:
