Looks good to me.

I'd definitely like to have it on only in some filtered map mode. Maybe capture date filter would be a proper match?
What do you mean "catching Soviets off-guard" if we talking about Southern Front non on T1? Divisions of 9th Army moved to the border and had time to take defense positions. The main problems there was that they should covers too extended front so density of the defense in this area was insufficient. And second thing was that Southern Front commander Tyulenev overestimated the strength of the enemy and he decided to withdrow to defense position on "old border" there was fort lines.ORIGINAL: Bamilus
Probably for balancing reasons and also to represent catching Soviets off-guard. The T1 is now longer than it was in WITE.
Attack from Romania started 22 June, at least "air-phase", we can argue how active was ground part. So Romania and USSR from 22 June was at war.ORIGINAL: sven6345789
Historically, the Attack from Romania started later than the attack from Poland. The Axis forces in Romania are also frozen turn 1.

Now, if we look on the game map we can see how many hexes between Soviet divisions on Prut river, in some areas its up to 7 hexes. I'm not talking about that between Soviet divisions should not be any gap but the current status its too much.
For unknown reasons Soviet divisions in the game can't be breakdown to regiments like Germans, Finnish and now even Romanian divisions has such option. So Soviet units in the game can't be more normally positioned there. And Soviet side forced to wait in this silly position when 11th German Army will start their attack.
Exactly, I posted this earlier, the manual says it wrong.ORIGINAL: smokindave34
Just so I make sure I understand the rule.......if you want to keep the Southern Front locked you can't go south AND east of the hex in question? So if I go east of that hex but stay north the Southern front stays locked?
