@Marco-Luti Conveniently,Russia has factories that can be "ahem"liberated in ukraine,st petersburg and volgograd.Cannon fodder volunteers can be recruited there to shield your panzers for when you want to free moscow from the bolshevics.
I think that’d be a really good idea because urals factories were genuinely a big contender to the war. Would people ever play with it though is the question?
Yes, but only in the Pacific version. If you are playing global, then they start minor and upgrade when the U.S. goes to war, unless the U.S. pays to upgrade them before.
Is this true?
yeah, as it was in Alpha3 and as it remains in 2nd Ed.
