@mike141500 Italy does. Only USSR can attack Italy if they don’t attack somewhere first

@theveteran ah got it. That makes sense! Thanks

@linkler but you could be right just what else is “guaranteed support” supposed to mean?

@theveteran oh right about Poland. In the diplomacy expansion it says level 3 (aligned minors) are guaranteed support if attacked - think Syria- France off the start of the game they are aligned to France if you attack Syria you attack France.

@theveteran I think if you align any of those countries before the pact is signed then it would override the provisions of the pact. Kind of like if someone on the axis side aligns Poland before the war starts they wouldn’t automatically align to UK at the start of the war any more. And we play it if someone attacks any of your aligned neutrals they have to declare war on you as well

@chris_henry haha that is good

@insanehoshi that is interesting in Wikipedia it shows up as “Plan R4” under the guise of helping the Finns fight the Soviets the British would land 3 (divisions?) and seize a bunch of mines in Sweden and Norway and the port as well, I think. Finland sued for peace with the soviets just before the plan could be implemented. (Paraphrase) so if Finland is at war with the USSR the allies could land in northern Finland (Petsamo)and from there invade Norway (narvik) and (northern) Sweden basically. I think something like they would supply Finland with some units in exchange no IPP penalty to invade those 2 areas and no subsequent war with Norway or Sweden? This of course would have greatly provoke the Germans

@chris_henry Those are great 👍 ! We play with the diplomacy expansion so here’s what we have so far
+1 modifier to the German roll
-1 modifier to any Soviet rolls
Lend leasing ipcs or units (aka turkey at war) adds a +1 to modifier as well
Gulf of Finland:
Whoever controls southern Finland can put coastal guns there to prevent anyone from entering or leaving (imagine a narrow crossing between Finland and Estonia ) -with no actual crossing of units allowed there it gives the Russians another reason to attack Finland before war breaks out with the Germans ( to protect the soviet fleet)

Hey does anybody have any extra ideas/ house rules for the winter war expansion? I like this one but it seems like there’s room to add a bit to it

@trig the 2nd amendment is awesome I think I would want a counter-balancing rule for the axis as this would make attacking North America really hard, and it’s fun to do when you can actually pull it off as the axis

@mike141500 you just need to read the national reference sheets it’s all on there but it’s different for each team

@bretters after the combat phase of the power that attacks it then right?

@noneshallpass interesting take it’s hard to pass over the “guaranteed support” just the wording of it maybe? Seems like a bit of a loaded phrase though

@broken-mortar negatory broken mortar

@broken-mortar we ran into this too. We ended up going with if someone attacks your aligned minor they must declare war on the controlling power. At first we did it the opposite way but it made a huge negative for Germany/ axis to influence any minors. Would be nice to know for sure what the designer had in mind

@delaja you’ve got a deal! I’d be glad to try it out and write up a review, and thanks for the offer ! 😃 I’ll message you

@delaja love the expansions this is a little intimidating in my option though rule-wise a lot to remember. The rules make sense in my option though very detailed I don’t know if I would play this one yet- if there was like a cheat-sheet to go with it I might get it. It’s cool though don’t get me wrong nice work

@insanehoshi good idea never thought of that thanks
