Eydtkuhnen, East Prussian frontier, 6th August 1914: The German Empire declared war on the Russian Empire on the 1st of August, 1914. Five days later, an advanced guard of Russians crossed the frontier into East Prussia, capturing the town of Eydtkuhnen where part of a scattered covering force from the forward deployed I.Armeekorps was located. This first contact was short and minor, but the capture of the town and the denial of the Germans from retaking it, helped to secure an obstacle along the Russian 1st Army's coming advance to Stallupönen.

Kinda tough for both players. Tom made some good cavalry moves to isolate the German infantry in the main VP hex and that might be the way to win here. The Russians won the battle historically so it all seems correct.
