You can only move land units out of a contested territory into a territory which at the beginning of your turn was either under your control or contained units belonging to you. Since Ukraine meets neither of those conditions for Germany, Germany may not move land units there from contested Poland. However, since Moscow is not contested, Germany may move land units into Ukraine from there.
This sounds like a good idea. I play with a lot of new players, many of whom are confused by the “units can move 2 spaces, except when they can’t (except for fighters).”
They’ve always had an easier time with 42.2’s NCM.
Austria cant afford to lose Albania, but can USA afford the extra trannies it takes to contest Albania rather than shucking units to France ?
It would take the same number of transports. France and Albania are both two movements away from the US. Shucking to Albania puts US troops within 2 moves of 2 different CP capitols.
The point of the sentence I quoted is simply to differentiate “regional territories” from “colonies”. Regional territories can trace a line through contiguous original territories back to the capital, while colonies are removed from the capital. The only difference this really makes is that colonies of minor powers are handled a little differently than their capitals. Since minor powers don’t have regional territories anyway, this sentence is more about “flavor” than anything else.
They probably should have, but they didn’t, so as the rules read right now (and even as they read in the book) there are plenty of situations when the Russian player might voluntarily choose not to counterattack a province because the Revolution is preferable to the capture of Moscow from an Allied standpoint.
At least they fixed the other problems with the Russian Revolution as written in the rulebook.
