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
Crazy Moves

Come on, we’ve all had our ridiculous thoughts.
What are some over the top, insane moves that you’d like to try if failure wouldn’t basically mean a guaranteed loss?
I want so much to throw all of Germany’s cash into tech turn 1 to try for Paratroopers, then drop on UK turn 1, sending the entire air force.

You can’t use paras unless you attack the territory with something else.

I don’t have to attack it with a land unit though, do I? Can’t I just send a fighter there as combat and have it count?

I think it must be with land units.

That game, in which CalvinHobbes was just Crushed and OBLITERATED, is a good example of some crazy attacks.
on the part of russia, using mec, and armor with planes at extended reach. Japan doing similar.
But in particular, the use of Aircraft Carriers, on the attack, to soak the majority of hits, so as to win battles at sea, by Germany, review G8 the game winning turn, which could have meant death if it had gone wrong.
even Quebec got invaded. And germany pounded out sea lion more than once to get it done.

other land units from an adjacent TT or amphib assault must be attacking with para

I have grown fond of making it look like my german tanks and mech in are far away close to stalingrad so the Russians move a third of their forces from Lenningrad to one of the polands. Then I pull the fast units back quickly with the help of the italians and kill a bunch of Russians.

German sub circumnavigating to Japan to prevent a UK bonus :roll:

Russia building a massive airforce then sinking the home fleet of Japan(mostly) allowing the USA to pretty much walk into the Japan and take it. Btw…Russia didn’t share this plan with the other allies they just did it lol.
