I now think a similar idea could apply to Finland.
Its 4 infantry can only move in the following territories:
Finland
Vyborg
Karelia
Norway
Sweden (not if the Axis are at war with the strict neutrals)

Howdy,
can a Waffen-SS Army contain 2 Waffen-SS-Oberst, while one of them is the leader and the other just a regular unit?
Thanks
-
-
Good question - I’ll have to study our notes for the rulebook.
I’ll be back - asap
-
Thanks. Barnee just answered my question. Further down in the rule book it says, that only 1 SS-Oberst per SS-Army is alowed.
My bad.BR

Hi Captain
If soviets buy partisans and a German controlled TTy becomes vacated due to combat, can they place a Partisan in that TTy ?
For example, there are two empty German controlled TTys and Russia buys two Partisans. During combat, a single Inf in German controlled Vologda is killed but the soviet attacker is also killed, leaving the TTy vacant.
Thanks
-
The territory must be un-occupied - but Axis-controlled - from the start of the Soviet players turn, in order to place Partisan units in that territory.

Hi Captain,
Regarding the few units with ‘2 dice’ (Elite Infantry, SHB, army units), do both dice inflict losses on the opponent if they are considered successful, or do we have to choose the best of the two dice (as in the original rules for the Heavy Bomber technology improvement)?Thanks much :)
-
Hi Ben,
Both dice counts.
Please note:
The 2-dice rule also concerns Heavy Bomber units, SHB, Army units etc.In other words: Both dice counts for all these units.

Hi Captain
I thought I had asked this but rereading the rules I’m not so sure.
Can Air Trprts transport allied units ? If so, Germany can transport Italian tanks etc …
They work same as Naval Trprts essentially.Thanks
-
Yes - an Air Transport unit can transport a friendly unit. The game mechanism is the same as for Naval Transport units.
Important:
Only German Air Transport units can transport Tank (Panzer) units. -

@The-Captain What do you think about making Vyborg worth a buck ? SSR would get a mini early game boost and usually G would after the baloon goes up.
We just ignore it so R can’t spawn Partisans right now.
Edit
It can still be used for Air to land if the soviets wanna do some suprise stuff. But basically, it just gets ignored.Edit 2
That’d force G to occupy it . One less dude to the E Front. Idk the Soviets pretty strong in this mod imo. I kinda like playing them :) -
We have discussed and play tested this idea in the Veteran Group back in 2018.
The conlusion was:
- The 1 IPC income is not worth adjusting concerning the overall Game Balance
- Since Vyborg has no IPC value, the Soviet player has an excellent option to split Soviet Forces between Vyborg and Karelia - and thereby force the German player to send units into an IPC Worthless Vyborg in order to avoid the Soviet troops to attack Finland.
This gives the Soviet player an option to counter attack from Leningrad the German troops in either Vyborg and/or Karelia.
In other words: When Vyborg is IPC worthless, it is a Tactical Advantage to the Soviet player.
-
Regarding Lend Lease
The soviet player must activate any Allied units deignated as LL whether they want to accept them or not ?
Can they just ignore them and they remain allied ?
Thanks
-
The Soviet player and the UK and/or US players (s) must agree concerning Lend-Lease units.
Naturally - in a Two-Player game this is not an issue…
But in Multiplayer games the rule is, that all involved players must agree how, when and which Lend-Lease units are shipped to USSR.
The overall goal is to win the War - so we have never experienced any issues concerning this matter…
-
yes a rare situation. After rereading the rules, it seems as if the Allies designate them LL, SSR needs to buy them.
Edit
Reason for question was if G took over Italy and UK wanted to use their LL forces to counterattack but it seems that once designated the commies are forced to buy them :)
