January 6, 1945.
I wanted to display two aspects to the challenge between Metalist and myself for 1945 but feel it would be too much.
A: Russian advance with Eastern Front.
B: Air resources; pools of existing aircraft type.
Therefore I will tackle the first one , Eastern Front on this segment and then air resources on the next turn.
Areas like Greece, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, cannot be invaded by Allies or Russia. Meaning, no ground units can go into them, thereby change control. Other Axis minors, and Russian hexes cannot be entered by Allies either. Though Axis air is able to use all countries except Russian.
There is an exception to the above but it almost never happiness. If Allies are able to join the Russian front south of Berlin, then Axis controlled hexes south of it are flipped to Allies. And yes, this includes Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungry, and all the other mirror countries. Yet still, Allies are not able to enter them.
It took five pictures to show Eastern Front so here we go from the south. First picture is of Greece and surrounding area. Many countries in this region have already been advanced on by Russia to its fullest. Meaning, Eastern Front does not go into Greece, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia. The rest of the line forming the Eastern Front is still moving westward, roughly speaking.
A: Island of Crete and most of Greece.
