what do these simulate?
HR 5. Free Warship Builds.
HR 7. Free Sub Move (Pre turn).

is it simply that some games have "under supply" / representation of warships?

i believe they called it border defense and is likely why they remained a country unto themselves post war

you mentioned ge in lennigrad area have it "easy" as in supply and reinforcements... if Ru has a bit of a land lull a combined with the lenningrad fleet sailing into the baltic may disrupt GE's idea of "easy" and possibly cost them a few transports needed in winter for the ore

<t> i will make the same suggestion for Ge i made for Ru earlier - retreating is a reasonable option to shorten lines which spares units for reserves and west theater, also rivers must be around somewhere ...<br/>
<br/>
jp - not sure it went entirely their way, trading units isn't always bad for ...

italian navy get surprise on 9-1 split... make sense after all they surrendered!

<t> can't be everywhere, with a lot of transports you can threaten much and then go where they ain't... and if jp split forces over time you can dog pile on some location and maybe hit them in parts with your main force e.g. small forces protecting convoy lines - overkill maybe but over time the CLs ...

side note: stuffing Sicily i wasn't trying to be too a-historical. once significant (overwhelming?) force was there IT had had enough (after losing most of their territories and sicily and lower half of the boot...)and figured there are enough allies to protect us to at least some degree

<t> now that you have tripoli i think you have 2 of 3 needed conditions for italian surrender? if so i believe sicily counts as mainland italy and packing allied troops there may get you over the garrison value and you get to see that new navy go poof and surrender along with all the IT units in ...

<r> if the line holds shattered are ok as the pop right back up to the axis' dismay <E>;-)</E><br/>
you haven't mentioned it but you are railing out soviet factories? given the slow start i think was mentioned you should have saved most of the front line factories (if not this may be hurting soviet ...

o points / chits come in handy for US (and others of course) to do an air but move some naval or land etc

and hopefully my idea is working (I can't tell yet) of RU moving into their supply and reinforcements and away from GEs

<t> fall back to kursk? use the extra units from straightening the lines for moscow area?<br/>
once the germans march up, fall back to the don and preserve units?<br/>
<br/>
not sure myself just thoughts<br/>
<br/>
as for my prior statement on vp, since you aren't really considering game vp ...

<t> regarding the transport of white print unit to china<br/>
<br/>
i don't recall how victory conditions go (been too long) nor do i have a feel for how many units you have in China (i recall you saying it was light but then you may also be light on garrisons for the islands), so with a grain of ...

<t> although the russians lost little (it seems) in 41, in 42 they may be a bit further forward due to that but they are still not as strong as they thought. they in better than historical shape maybe but 42 wasn't a banner year yet for russia and they needed to be a bit more willing to withdraw and ...

<t> on turn 1 when Rundstedt was used for opoint, since he was flipping anyway i think he could have been used for hq support and still reorg before flipping. that slight increase may not have been needed but may have been helpful (and maybe even saved a flip or such?)<br/>
<br/>
or do i have this ...

<t> chunking looks threatened a bit and only 1940! US peeved at jp for abusing their chinese interests but still no interest in another european war. ignoring the tiff over France, ge fighting the communists who are aggressively taking over baltic states, poland and rumania - the nazi propaganda ...

<r> US isolationism (at least re ge) may also be impacted by the "good fight" ge having with the communists protecting Ro causing a conflict of moving towards war because of aggression in france<br/>
also france "expanded" the war by "sucking in" Yu and then never provided them any assistance ...

<t> thanks for AAR !<br/>
<br/>
i rule question / comment, i think for the alignment due to 4 french units Yu should align to France (as they are the country with the units...) - is this the rule or they can align to UK as well?<br/>
<br/>
was any consideration given to landing UK units in YU ...

it is frustrating and concerning this still exists after a decade ;-p

<t> i am not sure why reading the recent moves made me think of this, and happy to post elsewhere but i was wondering your thoughts on the following<br/>
<br/>
what if you could move what you want - period (i guess like a super combined)? i may be missing something but using GE as example <br ...

<t> allowing for mid map differences not being too extreme it should generally work. When the scandanavia map was introduced maybe the breakdown rule is not optional for units moving into that theater, so Div only map<br/>
and maybe even allowing further break down to brigade size (max one or two ...
