@Chris_Henry I had a game where Italy forgot it was at war with Ethiopia and Ethiopia managed to recruit for a few turns.

@Chris_Henry Yeah and you might be back lash as Lithuania is the only Baltic Nation that has income.

@Chris_Henry Yep that’s the point however it’s risky as well to do it as USSR as you only start with $8 dollars and if you’re Lend-Leasing to both Ethiopia and Republican Spain, you’re not building for yourself.

@Chris_Henry Yeah there is a lot of in game rules that allow you some freedom if you know what to do. I want to point out that Lithuania doesn’t touch Soviet territory however if you play with the diplomacy expansion, it treats the Baltic States as one nation and until the Soviet-German Pact, it also treats the Baltic States as one nation so I am making the assumption that Lithuania doesn’t count under V3 requirements but you might find some player who would argue against this.

@ABWorsham4 I’ve almost abandon G40 for HBG 1936 and they made Canada it’s own power in an expansion so I am fine.

@Chris_Henry The non aggression pact negates is to reflect the real life situation where the Allies magically ignored USSR invading Poland even though it would allow the Allies to do so in real life since they declared Polish freedom from foreign invasions. Second, The Baltic States are treated as one nation when it comes to political influence. I’m not sure why this is but it is.

Yeah you should only Lend Lease if you have the dominate influence against Turkey.

@MAX1313 If Paris is liberated by the Allies, V2 states that Vichy France falls and all their territories join France automatically, then you have to roll for the loyalty of their navy if they have any.

@Chris_Henry I’ve Lend Lease to Ethiopia as USSR and I can tell you if you can get Ethiopia to win which I’ve seen once so far. It really screws over Italian land invasions at the start of WWII.

@Chris_Henry Exactly, it doesn’t work because the game wasn’t built around that concept. I would love to see some one try this.
