As someone who played Putin in the same @welt wargame, I must attest - this was an excellent, nuanced 12-page plan that included multiple scenarios and options for Russia to escalate, and we didn't even need them all. We left the exercise more depressed and sobered than usual.

On a related note it’s funny that we now have an unofficial governing body (Paradox Interactive) that assigns names and colors to every polity to every exist.
