RE: Special Units
3 isn’t high enough. Look how hard it was when the US tried to take Iwo Jima and Okinawa from the Japanese Island Defenders. It should be 4 at 4 IPC’s. Like I said, we usually play for historically accuracy, not even gameplay.

RE: Special Units
You’re right, island defenders should be lower defense. Maybe 3 or 4 at 6 IPC’s or 5 at 9 IPC’s.
We play with these for mostly historical gameplay, not for an even game. We like to play how conditions actually were for a better game. The Soviet Union had hundreds of thousands of partisans and soldiers to defend Russia.They had the soldiers, but not ammo which is why they defend on 1 and cannot attack. I think 1 IPC would be reasonable because it cannot attack and defends on 1. -
RE: UKcommander vs. aarules–Revised
My 2 infantry are hit.
Noncombat move
All men in Kazakh SSR to Caucasus
All men in Novosibirsk to Russia
1 inf from Russia to Archangel
All men from Soviet Far East and Yakut SSR to Buryatia
All men in Evengi National Orkug to Russia
Submarine from sz4 to sea zone 2.
USSR collects 26 IPC’s. Germany’s turn.
I’ll be gone for vacation starting Friday night for 8 days and will have no internet connection so it will be a while before I can get back on. -
