Russian winter realisticly unrealistic

I assume you are asking about a land territory. The answer would be no. When you attack a land territory, you attack all country’s units that are in that land territory. So if Russia attacks an Italian territory that has German units in it, then Russia just declared war on Germany.
Sea zones are different. In a sea zone, you can attack one power’s units while other “neutral” power’s ships will simply sit there.

The whole problem lies on Japan’s absurd overpowerness. No matter what house rules are present, Japan will always take Soviet far east and China. Allies have nothing to prevent it.

Why Japan’s role is always trying to rescue Germany via marching to Moscow? Why Japan always outproduce Germany and USA? It is neither fun, nor historical plus it totally deprives Pacific front and two ocean going approaches for USA.

Typically USA esablish a pipelines in North Africa while abandons Pacific, Britain in N.Russia, Germany turning into surviving mod waiting Japan to recue. I’m really sick of to see the same thing.

The solution is make Germany 2 times stronger than Japan considering 1942 borders, make Soviet far eastern and Chinese territories less valuable (Making two territory worth 1 with Nos), Hawaii factory with 2ipc value, then rebalancing.

:-D :-D :-D

@crusaderiv:

I’ve seen the T34 and sub rules somewhere…

Sorry, I completly forgot that you wrote such HR.
So I credit the idea above as yours Crusader.
I was thinking about ATG and this T-34 redux cost came to my mind as another way to provide a counterweight to German’s MI, MArt and Tank.
Then, I looked for a way  to give a special thing to Germany.

I resulted into your HR.
I like it as a small mod which add a lot of historical flavor.
Good idea Crusader!

This is the chart I use. @SS:

@SS:

This is in our game.

Turn 1   Fall/Winter  39-40
Turn 2   Spring/Summer  40
Turn 3   Fall  40                        Rasputitsa
Turn 4   Winter  40-41             Winter
Turn 5   Spring  41
Turn 6   Summer  41                Monsoon
Turn 7   Fall  41                        Rasputitsa
Turn 8   Winter  41-42             Winter
Turn 9   Spring  42  
Turn 10 Summer  42                Monsoon
Turn 11 Fall  42                        Rasputitsa
Turn 12 Winter  42-43             Winter
Turn 13 Spring  43
Turn 14 Summer  43                Monsoon
Turn 15 Fall  43                        Rasputitsa
Turn 16 Winter  43-44             Winter
Turn 17 Spring  44           Nothing after turn 16

Winter: You can declare 2 winters during the game, but it has to match the winter season on above chart. The Russian winter is effective only on USSR territories. As a defender, USSR infrantry and artillery defend at 3 or less in first round of combat. As attacker, USSR infrantry attack at 2 or less.

Rasputitsa: During the fall using above chart, the USSR player can declare it rasputitsa during the non combat move phase of your enemy and roll 1 dice. If you get a 3 or less, your enemy won’t be able to make any ground non combat moves. Only effective on USSR territories.

Monsoon: During the summer using above chart you roll1 dice and if you get 3 or less, you cannot move ground troops in Yunnan,Burma, India, and Indochina.

Hitler should of just attacked in the spring. LOL

You could use the US chart in this post for US and Japan.

The rule did change for Russia.

Agreed.
And well obviously, the rule would also go hand in hand with “no allied units in soviet territory”

They’re here.  We’re also experimenting with allowing the Central Powers to turn down the armistice, but that’s not entirely official yet.

@Flashman:

Don’t understand this line, please rephrase:

@KimRYoung:

If any Allied units end up in an uncontested, hostile territory will take control.

Finland should be added to the ceded tts.

In reality the Allies did not evacuate Karelia, but used it as a base for interventions in the Civil War.

I also think Revolution should occur on the German turn, but with the above changes this may not be needed.

Flash, it should just read “hostile” territory. It can’t be contested if its hostile. The idea is that it is still friendly to the CP even if the allies move in first. They could evacuate and then after both sides have done so, it is now contested. Sorry I was not clear.

As for Finland, historically though Russia withdrew any claims to it, it was not occupied by Germany.

Since my rule doesn’t provide for fighting the civil war there is no point leaving allied units in Karelia. Would matter for your version.

Italy in that games is unrealistic. First, their economy is nearly same than japan
Second, they have greatest fleet, air force and army in mediterranean…

Their army is old and generals bad, tanks poor, inf poor-equipmented(in Alps, 19 french + 2 MGs defend fortess, Italian inf division retreat), artillery WWi, bombers do not hit, battleships are bad(Littorio shooted 96 rounds to Warspite, no any hit) and they havent much fuel for ships.

So their army must be stronger and zones worth more IPCs, but some rules needed for their bad warachievement…
