It appears I brought an involuntary souvenir back from Andorra. At home, we are all Covid positive… At least it seems to be quite mild.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that it got you eventually but hopefully you’ll all be okay and have stronger immune systems as a result :mask:.

- Offical Commuication from the League of Nations -

Dear Joseph Stalin,

It has come to our attention that your recent actions in Romania have contravened the most fundamental code of law, the bible of all interaction, we speak - of course - of the Axis & Allies Rulebook 1940 Europe Second Edition.

We refer you to Page 12 (Phase 2: Combat Move (Powers at War Only) - Sub Section Powers Not at War with One Another).

Combat: A power can’t attack a territory controlled by or containing units belonging to a power with which it is not at war.

We also refer you to the notes of G40 Balanced Mod 4.1. In subsection Rules specific to 1940 the engine does not do, but you must follow.

(PE) = Player Enforced = You must be aware of the rule and must follow it. The engine will not stop you from breaking the rule.

(PE) You may not attack a territory containing units owned by a nation that you are not at war with (even if the territory is owned by someone you are at war with).

Whilst you should be punished, we wish to be kind due to our forgiving nature (and because you keep your moustache looking so lovely and those NKVD can be a little scary). We therefore propose that those poor Italians be allowed safe passage out of the Russian-held territory into Italian-held Yugoslavia.

Yours faithfully,

Secretariat for the League of Nations.

For dice rolls you can use dicebot :robot_face:. Format is number of dice | sides of dice | to hit value. For example to roll 3 dice at 2 would be.
[dice 1d6<1]

1d6<1: 2; Hits: 0

That’s wrong, maybe this…
[dice 3d6>1]

3d6>1: 6, 4, 4; Hits: 3

Nearly there, it would be this…
[dice 3d6<3]

3d6<3: 4, 2, 3; Hits: 1

I also did not understand your comment that you forgot to declare war with Italy. What would you have done if you had declared war with Italy? Is that something we could implement in the current game?

I didn’t realise Russia could go to war with Germany and attack German territories with Italians in and the Italians would not fight. TripleA allows it, but it is not allowed by the rules. Every day is a learning day…

I’m happy to take the benefit of the learning opportunity, and we don’t go back to a previous point or re-roll any battles etc… I’d be happy to move all the Italians in Eastern Europe into Yugoslavia before the start of the Italian combat move phase and go from there, they will declare war on Russia but won’t attack Slovakia/Hungary as this would can open an attack on Romania by Germany which you won’t have accounted for. How’s that for you?

It puts this game in an interesting position and means you don’t have to redo any of the Russian moves.
