(If you don’t plan on attacking Russia with Japan next turn if you want you can play Germany+Japan and I’ll do Russia before the Allies. Anyway I’ll mobilize for sure 6units in Russia/Volgograd at least and move my eastern stack 1 territory closer)

Corrigan I have a question:

How’s there’s 2 more inf in Finland? If you transported them, your transport should be in sz115 now. Please check it when you play Japan.

[corriganbp]

looked too fast, thought 114 was adjacent to finland (didn’t have to notice this in the days when the British fleet was sunk by this point in the game).  i will put the trans in 115 (where he is still safe)

Everything twol;

Collects 55 (tt)

I propose to remove IRELAND from the Russian 3ipc NO, 'cause it looks TOO easy to bring an inf there with this setup.

United Kingdom Winter 40-41.AAM

[Noll]

(I forgot to adjust uk’s ipc on the map, they still show 58, please remove 3 during your turn)

[corriganbp]

we should just use Krieghund’s change – 3 ipcs for each original axis or pro axis tt on the atlantic side map.

in any case, they can’t activate until R6

[corriganbp]

I would like to modify the friendly neutrals rules as follows:

1.) invasions no longer persuade friendly neutrals to join you, instead
2.) invest 1-5 ipcs in lobbying for war
3.) roll a die, if it’s your investment or less, you persuade them to join your cause (this occurs on the purchase units phase)
4.) Can only influence neutrals in your sphere of influence which means Brazil leans to USA, and all other allied friendly neutrals lean to the UK, and all axis friendly neutrals lean to Germany.

[corriganbp]

oh, and the USA can’t activate Brazil until they are in the war.

[corriganbp]

obviously a hostile invasion brings them into the war.
this also resolves what to do if somehow a neutral survives an attack, can they move afterwards?  well now you know that if the UK attacks Iraq and the Iraqis survive, they become german units and move on the german’s turn.

[corriganbp]

and the allies can never violate true neutrals, they just join the side in their sphere of influence if attacked by the axis.

south america joins the USA, automatically
mongolia joins the USSR
all other neutrals join the UK
