A lot of posters seemed stunned at this scenario, never scene it ever happen or even could happen. Now that I mulled it over last night and looked at the rules and so forth it is very obvious to me why no one has ever scene this scenario. Because the scenario makes no logical sense.
Italy DOW on Russia and moves in 2 tanks into Eastern Poland.
Russia is now at war with Italy and can DOW on Germany at the start of their next turn, turn 3.
Germany on Turn 3 does not DOW on Russia and just non combats into Eastern Poland.
Russia at the start of Turn 3 DOW on Germany and off we go.There is no logical reason why Russia would not DOW on Germany at the start of Turn 3, none.
Heck you could argue that it makes no logical sense that Germany did not DOW on Russia at the start of G3 since Italy brought Russia into the war and Russia WILL DOW on Germany on R3.
Hi PainState,
From my perspective, if I was planning on doing a G3 Barbarossa AND I wanted to drive towards the south, then yes, it makes sense to not DOW. My stack will be together except for the minimum required mobile units and maybe 1 AAA in Poland so Russia doesn’t attack Poland to get their NO for occupying an Axis territory. But E. Poland will be real strong because the German air will be there and maybe bombers will also be in range of a raid on the Moscow factory. Also, 5 IPCs is more income than I’d probably get as Germany on the 1st turn.
There are a few disadvantages of course. 1, Russian blockers can’t be attacked. 2, the Scandinavian units are behind. But for me that’s ok, I just use them to lay siege anyways. I never expect to get Moscow on turn 6 anymore. I assume that the UK/Anzac and that lone French fighter are going to get to Moscow.Â

Hello Young Grasshopper,
Wanted to say thanks for putting these cards up on Artscow, beautiful work and I really enjoy the artwork on the Research and Development Cards.
Looking to order a set, but I was wondering if it is possible to have the Italian cards with the three fasces symbol on the front and back of the cards instead of the Italian Roundel?
I know it is a bit to ask but I would be extremely grateful.
Cheers, Rand.

Thanks Rad,
Unfortunately this is a done project for me, the process has not been easy to say the least and I’m not done considering that I want to do a house rules deck. I have been getting requests to do things like change the colour of the outer borders, and substitute images for some of the R&D cards, and although your request to change the emblem for the Italian cards is not unreasonable… I feel that for new players of the game, it’s best to keep with the oob image.
Cheers,
YG
