USSR restricted is a default for a balanced game. Germany can put an AA gun in Eastern Europe and play to a stalemate with Russia for a long time with infantry and bombers and expand southward.

Is there a PM function on here?

That’s a rough roll hit missing with the plane against my transport and the transport hit. Nice move.

Is there a way we can get this going on the software so I can visualize where the game is at.

2 big things that work to Allies favor:
-After round 1 Ivan and the Yankees get to move back to back and coordinate
-If Russia is dug in defensively, UK fighters can defend a Russian western front when Germany is up and move to an eastern front for defense against Japan.

Are we playing as if in the Hasbro 98 version only “scorched earth” and “Russia restricted” is on?

Assuming there are no paratroopers I will proceed with Russia:

-Buy: 8 infantry
-Non-Combat Move:

Submarine and Transport Barrents Sea to North Sea
4 Infantry from Caucasus to Karelia
4 Infantry Russia to Karelia
2 Tanks Russia to Karelia
1 Fighter Russia to Yakut SSR
2 Infantry ENO to Yakut SSR
2 Infantry and 1 Tank, Soviet Far East to Yakut SSR

-Place Units:

8 Infantry in Karelia

I have AAA and the random # generator downloaded.

That would be cool only I’m not real good on how to get the online game going.

Russia sending tanks east/south is definitely something to consider against a player using Japan that knows what they’re doing. I play scorched earth most of the time so taking industrialized India on the first Japanese move makes more sense that way. No scorched earth makes it a different game entirely.

I took a look at the vid but that version isn’t really obvious where units are placed. I play the PC version Hasbro came out with in 98. In that version if you industrialize India immediately the most units UK can put there is 4 infantry and a fighter (IF Germany doesn’t attack Egypt first turn), while Japan can launch an attack with 4 infantry (2 from Indo-China, 2 from Phillipines) a bomber, and 3 or 4 fighters. Probably different set ups even though the map looks the same.
