The Fall of Bucharest - Political Turmoil in Russia

Field Marshal August von Mackensen gets a very special present for his birthday this week: Bucharest, the Romanian capital falls to the Central Powers. The Romanians reluctantly agree to destroying their grain and oil supplies on their retreat which are the two things Germany and Austria-Hungary desperately need to continue the war. Romania's direct ally Russia has its own problems at the moment as the political game of thrones continues in Petrograd.
