To be fair, I do not want to criticise my Allied partner but I think Orm has already compromised the Spanish defence. I mean seriously, how do the Spanish troops conceal themselves in the mountains wearing this?
Conceal?! [X(]
Why should we conceal our brave troops? Our enemies will flee as soon as we march into battle!

You have to wonder why ADG chose pink for Spain..... Why not yellow? Or even swap the green and the pink as the pink would rarely be used.

I thought the idea of Germany reinforcing Finland (Peacekeepers) was still broken in MWiF. ???
Two entry chits is serious, but the Russians don't have to push to Helsinki, just threaten to do so. Their CAV should be able to unhinge any Finnish defense quickly, leading them to circle the wagons around Helsinki.
But the Russians do need all of their bombers there.
The Japanese are stumbling around with little build-up on the ChiComm front, they should be fine.

I don't know if this was fixed, but even if not there is a work around. It just means both sides agreeing not to allow the exploit.
"They
should be fine" - yes, should.....

And speaking of a lack of divisions - the USSR needs leg divisions on the Baltic Coast, and a motorized division with Zhukov so they can use the Blitz table safely...

We play with the 1d10 LCT so to there is no need for a 'blitz' loss unit.

When playing with the 2d10 table the following rule applies:
When using the Blitz table, no matter who chose it, the attacker’s first
loss must be MOT, MECH, ARM, or HQ-A if any of those attacked (even
before winterized unit loss, but after ENG loss).
And that can be expensive if the only eligible unit for this loss is a HQA.

I assumed it was something like that (but was not sure) - but what about the leg divs in the Baltic Coast. We don't have a TRS in Leningrad - or is it for something else?

Leg divisions can invade from a SCS. Or debark.

Are the Chinese Communists prepared to take over the responsibility for the hex East of Sian?

Sure. Do you want to do your moves and then hand over to the Soviets/ChiComms as we did last impulse?

You can do it, with the orders that I mailed you.
Or we can do it as last time if you tell me the Soviet rail move.

When you do look at it, please take a moment looking at the Chinese situation and see if you want to make any changes.

Chinese moves look sensible. Question for the Communists; do they leave the mountain hex east of Sian? I think they should.
EDIT: I am going with this. Realistically there is nothing I can put in that hex that won't be eaten up - unless I put two units in there and, with reinforcements coming from the south, that leaves Sian exposed.

It is ok with the emptying that hex although it would have been nice if I known that you couldn't defend the hex. I would have left two nationalists then.
My main reason that I withdraw the nationalists was because I thought the hex to easy for Japan to capture in bad weather since the nationalists was OOS. Now it was even easier.
Oh, well. Miscommunications happens. [:)]

Okay - although I think that regardless of the Communist situation, it is right for the Nationalists to start looking at Central China. The Communist position remains uncomfortable, but the Nationalists could be in the same boat pretty quickly......
