Beta 4f available

I don't agree with this change disallowing Allied units from Soviet territory and vice versa.

It could have actually happened and was in fact considered by Stalin when things got ugly. The option ought to be available here. It's not necessarily the best idea for the Allies but if things go particularly badly for them, this should be a possibility. Combined operations in Persia and the Caucuses in particular ought to be possible.

Considering I am in a game where the Allies are coming in mass in Russia - I am all out for them being forbidden to do so. Just posted sort of 'photography' of the situation.

Maybe if the Soviets are in deep shit (Lose Moscow, Stalingrad, Leningrad and Caucasus then yes may the cavalry arrive). Not before.

In my many years of playing WiF allowing the Allies in the USSR was REALLY bad. They instituted a rule about it to cost the process a lot to do. People still did it.

Before the change the Allies would send units to Murmansk in 41 and 42 to take out Finland.

After the rule change they just send a handful of units to hold on to the off map boxes freeing up 4-8 corps for the Soviets.

Or here is another one for you. 1941 and 1942 UK builds a large airforce and their is a 1941 Barb. They send the entire thing to the USSR.

Or vice versa. The UK was invaded and in late 1941 the Allies dump all their influence points into The USSR getting them on their side. The Germans are on the defensive. The USSR sends the entire red airforce to the UK.

These are very gamey situations. So while in reality it might have been different in some cases it is hard to work around in game.

It's a shame there's no way to limit this option and you have to disallow it entirely.

Do we have an ETA on 1.05? The latest iteration of the beta is starting to look semistable to me and I'm itching to play again.
