I'll try a shot at clearing this up. quote:
ORIGINAL: Frederyck After the USSR conquers Eastern Poland, but before Germany and the USSR is at war, is Eastern Poland a part of the Polish Homecountry? Nothing indicates the contrary in the rule. 19.5.1 even says that Eastern Poland is conquered by Russia. ****************************** 19.5.1 Eastern Poland (...) Once you exercise those rights, the part of Poland to the east of the partition line becomes conquered by the Soviets. ****************************** quote:
If so, can a partisan appear in Eastern Poland? Eastern Poland is *conquered* by the USSR according the rules (19.5.1 Once you exercise those rights, the part of Poland to the east of the partition line becomes conquered by the Soviets) so even though the partisan is nominally on the same side as the USSR, couldn't it form there? Well, technically, Poland is conquered by Germany, so the Partisan if it appear, is controlled by the CW. Even if Eastern Poland is conquered by Russia, Poland itself is conquered by Germany. Eastern Poland is a subdivision of Poland, and is part of Poland from what 19.5.1 does not say. So, I'd say that a PART appearing in Poland can be placed in either place of Poland. But remember, it is a CW controlled unit, and it does only cooperate with Polish units, so placing it there can have bad consequences for Russia, when Russia will want to have its troops either garrison the border, or move from it, or elsewhere, as the CW is not renowed for his plentiful number of land movements. quote:
If a partisan can't appear in Eastern Poland, can it move there after it has appeared and thereby be out of reach for the German forces? I think that nothing in the rule prevent this. From a logical point of view, I do not see what would prevent Polish rebels to form up in either part of Poland, and why not go in the Russian controlled part of it to fight another day. But I might be wrong, especially because I'd rather see the Russians slaughtering those rebels, and those rebels fighting the russians, rather than take shelter there. This said, I'd also like to point out that, without betraying any secret (I hope), there were recent discussions at ADG about having Eastern Poland made part of the Russian Home Country, as Bessarabia is made too, when the Russians take control of it. So, whatever the demonstration I might have done here by going with a rule-wise analysis, it may be wrong because the intend of ADG here might simply be that Eastern Poland is no more part of Poland (from a PART appearing point of view), and they forgot to specify this status in 19.5.1. Conclusion is : We should ask Harry I've added this to the list of questions we have for ADG.
