Petersburg was the capital of Russia during World War I. Why must I capture Moscow to fulfill victory conditions as the Central Powers?
Though in 1914 St. Petersburg was indeed the capital, Moscow was quickly eclipsing the home of the Tsars as an economic and cultural center. Moscow actually became the capital very shortly after Russia’s withdrawal from World War I. In The Great War, we made a gameplay decision to have Moscow be the target zone for the Central Powers’ aggression, to prevent a sudden game-stopping naval attack on Saint Petersburg early in the game.
