Setup
Place 1 Russian infantry on each Russian territory, place 9 further infantry in any other 3 Russian territories (at least one must be placed in each of 3)
Political Rules
Russia has entered in a non-agression treaty with Japan, and will not attack unless the Japanese leave themselves weak.
Allied forces may not enter Russia while it is neutral.
In game terms Russia does not play its turn unless:
a) Japan has attacked them first
b) Russian forces outnumber a bordering Japanese territory’s forces by more than 4:1
Game Play
Untill it has attacked or been attacked, Russia skips its turn, excluding the combat move phase.
When and if at war with Japan, Russia recieves d6+2 IPCs worth of new units at the end of its turn. (New units are placed in Timguska)
Russia collects captured territories IPCs, it does not liberate them for China. Russia may not attack China.
If Japan captures every Russian territory, this counts as a Victory City, for the purpose of victory conditions. Russia may not place new units if it controls no territories
