I put it in this thread so as not to multiply it unnecessarily (perhaps a general thread of doubts should be opened, which at least I haven't seen).

Once the USSR surrenders, are their partisan points still active or are they nullified?

If you split the Soviets with japan then i believe no, but if Germany takes all i think so if i remember right.

OK...

Only the territory given to Japan loses the ability to produce partisans if the USSR is split between the Axis. It used to be that all of the USSR lost the ability, but we changed that last year.

This was a great change. Especially knowing the nature of the brutal policies in the occupation zones of the USSR historically.

So in an ongoing game, I positioned a few chinese units in central asia in order to cut the supply line across the USSR so that Germany couldn't operate units all the way to Siberia after a Russian surrender. I realized that those units might be lost if the Axis player decided to divide the USSR. In this case, the Axis player was wise not to because Japan's survival was in question.

The cities which were occupied by the Chinese started at a supply level of three immediately after USSR surrender, but slowly (1/turn) increased to five and remained at five. A Chinese HQ on a former USSR city is able to boost supply of nearby units over 5, and I imagine that I could link HQ's back to China for higher supply.
