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
Russian units moving into unoccupied Chinese territories controlled by Japan

Does this change the rule with the Mongolian units? Can Russia not do this?
Also, after Japan is at war with UKP, is it true that China cannot move units into UK controlled countries as extra defense?

If Russia liberates Korea or any originally Chinese territory that borders any of the Mongolian territories, then the Mongolians will never become Soviet even if later Japan takes one of the originally Soviet territories bordering Mongolia (e.g. Amur)

Chinese units can always move into Burma or Kwangtung, but not into other territories that are outside mainland China

thank you for your reply

The political rules are pretty complicated, but oce you get them sorted out they do make sense. Best advice when playing Global is to keep your eye on the NOs - get yours and screw up the enemy’s.
-
well as I just stated in another thread, We’ve been playing with Total Domination/Concession as the only way to win, not with Victory Cities. So it’s almost not playable with Axis under these conditions, it’s necessary to have VC’s?
-
what are your conditions for Total Domination/Concession?
-
either one side says I concede or we take out all the capitols of the respective sides.
