like you said, let’s change it up!

Recap of Edit Policy agreed to in PM Chat:

Since this is a playoff game there will be no asking for or allowing of any edits of any kind unless required due to TripleA inaccuracies. Once a Phase of a Turn is completed there is no going back to make any edits to that, or an earlier, completed phase.

Posting of a non-completed phase, to be completed later is allowable.

Some examples of things to double check, before completing a Phase are, a) did I unload my transports, b) did I move all my attacking units into the correct battle, c) did I bomb or attack where I was supposed to, d) did I move all my units I intended to, e) did I buy the units I intended to buy and f) did I place all my units.

I’m trying to figure out why Russia only got the Spread of Communism (+3 for Somalia) objective and didn’t get the bonus for Lend-Lease (+5 for sz125 + no allies in USSR territories). Am I missing something, or should Russia have +5 IPCs
