Is there a penalty if German units are in Eastern Poland when the USSR declare Eastern Poland? e.g. are they disorganised and/or immediately moved?
The Germans are immediately moved.
Edit: RAC: 19.5.1 Eastern Poland
The USSR can exercise its Nazi-Soviet Pact rights to occupy eastern Poland during any Allied land
movement step. However, it can only exercise those rights if Poland has not been conquered.
You exercise those rights by moving a land unit into any hex of eastern Poland (ignore any units there).
Once you exercise those rights, the part of Poland to the east of the partition line becomes conquered by the
Soviets.
Move any Axis units there to the nearest Axis controlled hex they can stack in. Any Allied (except Soviet)
units there are destroyed. They are removed from the game (internment) until Germany and the USSR are at war, at
which point they may be added to the Commonwealth force pool if the Commonwealth player so desires.
[Clarification. Polish air units and their pilots are interned if they are in eastern Poland when the USSR occupies it
- Dec. 29, 2007.]
Axis units may not cross the partition line after the USSR exercises its rights unless Germany and the USSR
are at war.
Anytime after 1941, the Commonwealth can add a randomly chosen Polish MOT and MECH to its force
pools if, at that time:
• The USSR has exercised its rights under the pact; and
• Poland has been conquered by the Axis; and
• The USSR and Germany are at war.
All the Polish units covered by this rule are treated as British for all purposes.
