How is Russia Restricted?

If you are capturing Germany and losing Russia that is pretty much how it often plays out, but around round 10.  If this is occurring in round 5 your games are going very differently from how the majority of games play out among seasoned players.

Yea, the strike that destroyes the Spainish Sub, the Baltic Fleet and E. Europe or Ukraine and Manchuria basically ending the Axis’ ability to win anymore without a massive bid.

I always wanted to bid that Germany was worth 15 IPCs instead of 10. :)

Well if you would ever want to finish the stupid game and not quit it might have been different. :evil:

Soviets must pull out of Soviet Far East on Russia’s first turn. If they do not Japan may be able to place sufficient forces on Manchuria to destroy any Russian forces that would retreat to Yakut on Russia’s second turn. I would recommend leaving one Russian infantry unit on SFE as a picket. The more targets Japan attempts to hit on its first turn the more chance of the dice going against them. In other words…don’t let Japan have the territory for free make them expend resources in order to take it. Not sure what Alaska has to do with all this though.

I aggree with Yourbuttocks also (boy did I have a hard time typing that with a strait face :lol: ) It isn’t that I’m after things to be more realistic as much as adding more options to players stratagies. But I do love it when six armor attack three infantry and the armor gets obliterated. That can really change your stratagy.

I think the original guest has learned his lesson and then some.

Look elsewhere on these fora for a good discussion.
In fact, try “General Discussion!”

I asked the same basic question under Player Help. Look there and see if the answers I got help you.

Heres my ruleset. I find these to be my personal favorite.

Add to Britain - 1 IC in place of Britain’s Choosing

1 Bb off Britain
1 Transport 1 sub off Australia
2 Infantry to Egypt
2 infantry to Persia
5 Infantry 1 Fighter wherever Britain wants to put it.

Add 3 Infantry to Karelia
Add 3 Infantry to Yakut

Take away 1 Transport (Phil) from Japan
Take away 1 Transport (Atlantic) From US

Complete FFA, last one alive wins. No special rules. It gets pretty nasty. I remember, in the space of 3 turns, I once backstabbed both Japan and Russia, my allies, Allied with Germany, Attacked America (and won) and did an Amphid assault on Germany itself.

Needless to say, I won that game :smile:
