Folks,
Sam has brought another bit of confusion to my attention. On the DipWiki, Russia is listed as starting in Warsaw, and Moscow is neutral. I'm going with my version on this, in which Russia starts in Moscow, and Warsaw is neutral.
I believe that this stems from the fact that the DipWiki doesn't seem to mesh with DC quite as well as we could hope. The DipWiki has the same information for this variant as is listed in the "Info" tab in RealPolitik, including calling Russia by that name. However, the DC site lists Russia as "Poland-Lithuania." That's incorrect, according to the variant designer, who lists PL as a minor power with no SCs (just there for informational purposes.) If we consider that PL is a minor power, and call Russia by it's proper name, that would leave Warsaw neutral at game start, as Warsaw is in Poland.

Hope this clears that issue up,
The White Wolf

P.S. - Sam, make sure you put the game number in the subject line of your emails from now on, or I'll delete them without reading. That's my policy.
