Hello McFly how about the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact?
You can’t just conveniently ignore the fact that both the Germans and the Russians carved up Poland in September 1939.
In fact up to the June 1941 invasion almost 1 1/2 years later the Germans and Russians were cooperative Allies in every way!
Despite the fact that France had fallen with the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Norway et al,
Russia whimpered and delayed and stalled and killed Poles and ignored the suffering in the West
Did you ever hear the one about how Great Britain stood alone?
Then after 1941 the Soviets had the audacity to demand a Western Front.
There had been a Western Front since 1939!
Since 1939 the Russians were actively trading with Germany.
This was not accidental it was a deliberate policy
Now you McFlys want to ignore that for game balance?
I don’t think so!
Trains were literally crossing the borders between the two as the Germans struck East.
That is ridiculous if it changes.
It does not reflect history at all if they can do so before the Germans strike the Soviets.
……
This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall
Or as a moat defensive to a house,
Against the envy of less happier lands,–
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.
William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), “King Richard II”, Act 2 scene 1
