German Finnish Link up

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

German Finnish Link up

Post by Manstein63 »

I have a question a German unit has managed to link with the Finnish Army to the east of Lake Lagoda. However it has been isolated from the rest of the German Forces & will be drawing its supply from Finland (unless the linkup can be re-established). Will it be subject to the no attack rule or will it be able to attack as per normal, assuming it still remains cut off from the rest of the German Forces? Lenningrad still remains in Soviet hands & is still supplied.

It should be able to attack, but it shouldn't be able to go into the German no-move area north of the Svir river.

Yes, WAD in both cases. You have to take both Leningrad hexes before the Finns can attack south of the no-attack line.

Joel passing information to the enemy don't you know there's a war on [:D]

Seriously although it has probably been explained before somewhere what is to stop a German player bringing a Korp across from the mainland ( 3 divisions & a HQ) & attacking from Finland)

The German no move area stops them from coming via Finland.
