You may wish to consider this rule:
Provided both major powers agree, you may re-confirm a neutrality pact during any subsequent Neutrality Pact step (this allows you to re-start the defensive garrison values at maximum effectiveness ~ see Garrison Values below).
Keeping in mind that the historical Russians and Japanese did not sign a non-aggression pact until April, 1941. And then Stalin rather famously used troops trained in Siberia, elsewhere - later in that same year.
Thanks!
Vyacheslav Molotov has discreetly approached Hideki Tojo about "renewing" this pact; however, the Japanese have been non-committal and to make matters worse is that the Japanese have placed all five of their pact chits into the offensive pool. The KGB has "uncovered" what the values of the chits are, so Stalin has a very good, if not exact, idea of what the pact garrison ratios are. He will likely add more troops to this region in order to keep the pact in place as long as possible. Especially with Germany's buildup on their border in Eastern Europe.
Thanks! What happens to the chits once the Nazi-Soviet pact is broken? Can the Soviets keep them and move them to the border with Japan or are the chits lost?ORIGINAL: ashkpa
Hi Ronnie,
The rules should also allow RU to move one chit per turn between the two garrison areas. Once you give up on trying to keep the pact with Germany, you should start shifting high value chits to the JP/RU border area.
Note, in the board game version (limit chits) you should also move 0 value chits to JP/RU border area. That keeps them out of the draw pool longer so the US will not have to worry about drawing them. In MWIF I don't think this would change the odds of drawing a chit (it is an infinite pool - fixed probabilities).
