Hi,

If the UK spends the MPP during the event, there is an increased risk of partisans in additional hexes, as stipulated in the strategy book. So as Axis, I understand I should garrison these places. But the wording concerning Warsaw seems to imply that the partisans rise only when allied troops get close. Also seems to say elsewhere the same thing for Albania. Is this the case for all the other partisans listed in additional locations? For example, do the French partisans sprout only after Allied landing in France for example?

Bonus question: sieging the port of Vladivostok, even with a torpedo boat, seems quite ineffective. I do not get any message that the Russians are losing MPP and do not see any dip either in the relevant chart. Also, my motor boat gets reduced to zero in 3 turns. Is it worthwhile to send a ship there as a Japanese? Does the naval level affect the amount of damage inflicted on the Japanese raiding ship?

Extra bonus question: Cutting off Persan supplies to the USSR. There is a message displayed when I have a ship in the Persian gulf that supplies are not reaching their destination. However I control Baku on the Caspian sea, do I still block in effect supplies from reaching even if no message appears?

Thank you in advance for your responses.

Bonus question:
Yes, its usually worth it especially if using motor boats but you probably want to have 2 of them and rotate to heal after 2-3 turns so it isn't destroyed. The naval level and type of ship don't matter so you want to use the cheapest ship you have.

Extra bonus question:
Yeah if you control Baku, Bushehr, or any road hex in between them then it stops the supplies.

The presence of an Axis naval unit outside Vladivostok will impede the flow of 30 of the possible 80 MPPs that the USSR receives that way. So there is a drop, but it is not huge and that might be why it is doesn't stand out in the graph.

Allied landings in France or advances into Poland will trigger these new Partisan locations into launching uprisings, so you will need to both keep the Allies at bay as well as guarding your interior in order to prevent them. Good luck with that!

Ok thank you for your detailed answers.
So regarding the partisan question do they appear ONLY if allies appear nearby such as in France for the two French hexes or is there a base chance every turn to appear if unoccupied, with a big modifyer in case allies are near? And how near is near 5 hexes? 10 hexes?

They only activate if significant Allied forces land in France (4 or more units are within 5 hexes of 90,43) or there are 4 Allied units within 10 hexes of 106,40 in Poland, so you don't need to guard them until this situation occurs.

Good news!
So I will not have to fork out all those mpps in a rush to guard those 8 locations!
