One more thing.
Is everything allowed that's not expressly forbidden? Can you use forts to protect your rear in a meeting engagement, drop paratroops, use ski troops in summer, etc..??
I don't think that you can buy forts in a meeting engagement. As for paratroops, they need air transport if they are to be other than ground troops. You would be advised to clear this up with your opponent as to whether Air transport is part of Airstrikes or not. I would not spring this on someone I was playing.
Ski troops? Why not? but ask Rbrunsman about them first.
For those of you confused about major-minor countries, read the rules again. You were asked to pick two countries to alternate between.

Actually Soviet Union have a some kind of Gun Casement in meeting engagements, but It's not very useful, just waste of points...

Meeting engagement by its nature doesn't allow for fortifications.

Well if it is a high vis map and you have a big hill for overwatch they could be quite useful

Hey red once i kick all of your sorry butts do I get a cool t-34 shirt like Viking did?

Actually, I do have another one like that but I thought this time it should be something different, othertwise it'd be kinda bad if VikingNo2 got the same shirt again.
