Hi Chris,

The intended design of the Self-propelled Artillery unit was to support “fast moving” units that operate alongside Tank & Panzer units - such as Mechanized Infantry etc.

The background for the limitations in production numbers and Nations that can produce SPA is partly based on:

• Play test results (game balance)
• Historical production numbers of SPA compared to the production number of Tank units
• Historical use of SPA
• Ease of Game Play

At this point our play test results - and their use during recent games - show that mostly Germany and the Soviet Union are using the SPA units.

The Soviets most often combine their SPA units with their Soviet Guard Infantry units - either as part of Soviet Army Corps - or as independent units.

Prior to the introduction of SPA units Germany is already familiar with the use of SPA since the German Waffen-SS units include SPA units.

Hi barnee,

We are playing 2 more games this weekend - and further 2 games before New Year.

The outcome of these games will decide the final Self-propelled Anti-Aircraft Artillery rules - as well as the rules concerning Self-propelled Artillery unit.

The Industrial Complex in Stalingrad (Volgograd) can move to another Original Soviet Territory - and still produce 6 Red Army Conscription Infantry units.

Note:
The IC cannot move and produce 6 RAC Infantry in the same turn.

See more information at pg. 21 in the G40 HRE rulebook.

If the Japanese-Soviet Pact (Non-Agression Pact) is activated then Mongolia is considered a Strict Neutral on the same terms as any other Strict Neutral Nation.

Note:
The G40 Expansion Strict Neutrals also confirms this scenario (see below).
