<t> Hi, I have played a few PBEM games as the Japanese. I'm looking to play as the Allies - I ever have before. I prefer to have the usual house rules(PP purchases,no strat bombing in or out of China until '44, etc.) but am flexible (things like invasions at non base hexes I'm indifferent about), an...

Thank you for the clarification, it makes much sense.

<r> I'm still a pretty inexperienced player, as is my opponent and we have been playing together learning the ropes for about 5 or 6 months and have started our 2nd game. In this game we are using the standard house rules regarding PP purchase of restricted units.<br/> <br/> In January 42 as the Jap...

I have made 4 jpegs from screen shots of that part of the manual. Is it within the rules to post them for this purpose?

<t> My first impression now after playing against the AI in the Road to Leningrad scenario twice (both as the Soviets) is still one of amazement. This is an area of interest for me, that and the entire siege, and I am impressed with the scenario and can't wait to get into the full war campaign, and ...

I am downloading this game as I type. I will be playing first as the Soviet side. As normal in games of this topic and scale, my first playthrough will solely focus on me not allowing my city (Leningrad) to fall as I learn system. [:)]

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Canoerebel<br/> <br/> Borodino has been most gracious (and accurate) in his handling of this topic.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: mike scholl 1<br/> <br/> AMEN! Lend-Lease was an aid to the Soviet War effort, but amounted to less that 10% of Soviet production. America spent mostly treasure and resources, while the Russians spent mostly blood. Both were needed, and fortunately, both were avail...

Just so you know, not all Soviets were Russian.

<t> The War was a team effort, this whole "Russians wouldn't have won without our help" garbage on Western forums is as ridiculous to me as "We the Great Soviet Union won the entire war by ourselves, if not for the Yankees dropping the atom bombs we would have taken Tokyo by September" that are all ...

<t> The Lend Lease equpiment was very important in the late 1944 and 1945 operations in Poland, Hungary, Austria, Germany, but holding on during the first year, other than the extremely important foodstuffs and clothing sent to Leningrad starting around March 42, wasn't a factor. It was horrible Ger...

Ahh yes we, the Soviets were only able to defeat the Nazi super soldiers because of Lend Lease and let me guess, the winter?

It was the Western Allies who simply allowed the Soviet Union to hang on, I forgot.
