Tom, or anyone.. My oponeent ask me if they did not use there eastern blist card till 42 coulde they do this , or does the Russian dip block release in 1942? usa?

I am that opponent. My idea was to delay barbarossa till late 1941 or maybe even spring 1942. The scenario description is a bit vague there imho.

I believe as long as you do not get beat by the garrison requirements it is good. Remember if the US enters the war garrison drops to 1 to 1 ratio.

well the blerb stated the garrison is times four actual points in 40 and tiomes two in 41, but does not say the Germans get a multiplier in 42.. so I think that would be a realistic way to approach it, but after looking a tthe event engine I was left scratching my head lol[&o]

I think that the timing issues hinge largely on the Vichy event, Chinese Stalemate, and Major Offensive, as to when the US will enter the war. Thus, I suppose that theoretically, the Germans can continue to build up along the Eastern Front, and prevent the Soviets from entering, and the Japanese can never play the CS/MO cards, but that will end up leaving the Axis in a long term stalemate, rather than having a chance at winning. Of course, this may also result in a later start against the Soviets, on two fronts, after the Japanese have finished off the Chinese, and never triggered US entry with the CS/MO combo. At least, that's the way that I see it, from the event descriptions.
