Russian F(BAL), A(Pru), A(Nor), A(Den); German A(Ber), A(Kie), F(HEL), A(Bur). Russia can be reasonably sure that Germany will order F(HEL) S A(Kie)-Den, A(Ber) stands, A(Bur)-Mun; this appears to tie down F(BAL) to the defence of Denmark, thus saving Berlin until A(Bur) rolls up to provide the necessary support. Russia keeps the initiative neatly by looping A(Kie):

F(BAL) C A(Den)-Kie!, A(Nor)-Swe, and probably A(Pru)-Sil, which is a better tactical position for this army. Russia is now virtually certain of gaining a further centre, which seemed very improbable before, though Germany may still survive with inspired guesswork
