A lot of posters seemed stunned at this scenario, never scene it ever happen or even could happen. Now that I mulled it over last night and looked at the rules and so forth it is very obvious to me why no one has ever scene this scenario. Because the scenario makes no logical sense.
Italy DOW on Russia and moves in 2 tanks into Eastern Poland.
Russia is now at war with Italy and can DOW on Germany at the start of their next turn, turn 3.
Germany on Turn 3 does not DOW on Russia and just non combats into Eastern Poland.
Russia at the start of Turn 3 DOW on Germany and off we go.There is no logical reason why Russia would not DOW on Germany at the start of Turn 3, none.
Heck you could argue that it makes no logical sense that Germany did not DOW on Russia at the start of G3 since Italy brought Russia into the war and Russia WILL DOW on Germany on R3.
Hi PainState,
From my perspective, if I was planning on doing a G3 Barbarossa AND I wanted to drive towards the south, then yes, it makes sense to not DOW. My stack will be together except for the minimum required mobile units and maybe 1 AAA in Poland so Russia doesn’t attack Poland to get their NO for occupying an Axis territory. But E. Poland will be real strong because the German air will be there and maybe bombers will also be in range of a raid on the Moscow factory. Also, 5 IPCs is more income than I’d probably get as Germany on the 1st turn.
There are a few disadvantages of course. 1, Russian blockers can’t be attacked. 2, the Scandinavian units are behind. But for me that’s ok, I just use them to lay siege anyways. I never expect to get Moscow on turn 6 anymore. I assume that the UK/Anzac and that lone French fighter are going to get to Moscow.Â
Boxcars' 3650 Plano Box AAG40 Labels

My group prefers (okay I prefer) to have our units not all lumped into one box that you have to dig through to get what you need. For AA50 we used a Plano 3500 box to organize the units. Now with a few more units (type and quantity), I upped the boxes to the slightly larger 3650.
I’ve created labels that, when printed on normal 8.5 x 11 paper and then folded in half, get taped into the lid of the Plano box. The unit data faces the player when the lid is open. This cuts down on the “how much does this cost?” type of questions.

Wow, thanks! I don’t think these will work for most people, but for those of us that keep their pieces in clear transparent jewelry bins, these are perfect. Thanks a ton.
Also, boxcars, I’m hoping you SBR a lot? Or are you just unlucky…

Can you make this in either PNG or PDF?
RAR is a messed up extention. When you download the files to open that extension, it basically takes all jpegs and bmp and other extensions and screws them by assigning them a .rar extention and then they no longer work ever again. RAR also causes data loss while PNG keeps the artwork just as you made it. If its vector it stays that way. RAR is like jpeg only worse.
Thats what Paint Shop Pro does with other programs. It behaves like its the king of your computer and changes everything to formats and they are not usable ever again

IL,
Sorry to hear that .RAR treats you so badly. I’ve gone back and resubmitted in a .ZIP format. I’ve also posted the option to download in .PNG. Should work great now.
Sometimes my luck is less than stellar…LOL
