Ok this it like my third play through as the eastern whites and finally I've advanced along the rail lines pocketed Mosow linked up with the western whites and have marched right through to St Petersberg and crushed the reds. Yet the city reverts to control of the Ukrainian anarchists? Is this a bug...

Playing as the south, what if i refuse to fire the first shots at ft sumpter? Is there any great advantage in forcing the north to shoot first or would I fail to set events in motion and have a long and boring game where nothing happens ?
