You might want to consider adding this issue to the Revised FAQ/Errata (just using the wording on the AA50 manual would do it). This issue turns up every once in a while on forums.
Wasn’t really talking about Balancing of it, just thinking about how it would look. I’d say EE would be Soviet because as you said, Stalin had annexed the Baltic Republics, and Eastern Poland, both of which lie in EE. Also when Looking at GER its bigger than Germany actually is because it includes the Western half of Poland, and Czech which at this point Hitler had Annexed.
FYI - LHTR is a variant ruleset developed by Larry Harris (the game’s designer) and officials from tournaments and on-line clubs. It fixes some rules and balance issues in the box rules, and it’s probably the most widely-played Revised variant. Most of its concepts were integrated into the 50th Anniversary Edition rules. If you’re interested in trying it, the rules can be found here.
Actually, this was teh thread that started teh whole thing that led to LHTR 1.3. It was about using friendly ships that were already in an enemy occupied sea zone as fodder for your attack on those enemy ships.
Under the new LHTR that came out of this, the Allies can NOT use those US ships that are already in SZ59 as fodder for a UK attack on the Japan ships in SZ59.
This became the “Multinational Forces on Attack” thread.
