Take two of Finnish setup under various conditions: If nothing else noted, all unit requirements must be face up units. Also, all Finnish units must be placed in supply (except maybe Vaasa) On second thought I have kept the check for TRS/AMPH in 4-box to allow the 'code' to handle all cases (incl. new units in future expansions, late war units, etc. - it will probably be easy to code when checking for the 3-box anyway) "RoPI": Risk of Primary Invasion/paradrop in case of: - if weather permits air missions (i.e. not storm)
- - ATR within range of Helsinki and PARA corps within movement range of ATR
OR - if weather permits invasions (i.e. not winter, storm, blizzard iirc):
- If NOT OptRule.AmphibiousRules:
- if TRS or AMPH w corps in Baltic 3 (in fine weather) or 4-box, or capable of reaching such box in one move (i.e. in non-iced Baltic Port) with INF class corps positioned so it can embark
- If OptRule.AmphibiousRules:
- - if AMPH w corps in Baltic 3 (in fine weather) or 4-box, or capable of reaching such box in one move with INF class corps positioned so it can embark
OR - - if TRS w MAR corps in in Baltic 3 (in fine weather) or 4-box, or capable of reaching such box in one move with MAR corps positioned so it can embark
"RoI": Risk of Invasion/paradrop in case of: - if weather permits air missions (i.e. not storm)
- - ATR within range of Helsinki and PARA DIV within movement range of ATR
OR - if weather permits invasions (i.e. not winter, storm, blizzard iirc):
- IF OptRule.Divisions:
- - if TRS, AMPH and/or SCS(s) w non-motorised INF class DIV(s) in Baltic 3 (in fine weather) or 4-box, OR capable of reaching such box in one move with DIV(s) positioned so it can embark
OR - - RoPI
Regarding USSR attack strength: "PA" : Poor attack odds (specific values yet to be decided) - calculated by AIO: potential chance of taking hex, including ground strike capability, terrain, weather, potential attacking factors, blit capabilities etc. Also, regarding expected German support: "GSI": German Support Immidiately - 1-2 corps will arrive by TRS/AMPH next impulse "GS": German Support Likely - 1-2 corps will arrive by TRS/AMPH during this turn (GS includes GSI) Proposals for 1939 setup: - IF RoI (and thus OptRule.Divisions)
- IF only 1 DIV able to do potential invasion/paradrop on Helsinki
- As proposed, with 1 INF DIV in Helsinki
OR - As proposed
- IF 2+ DIVs able to do potential invasion/paradrop on Helsinki
- As proposed, except:
1 INF (5-4),Helsinki 1 INF DIV, Vaasa OR 1 INF DIV, Turku OR (a bit more risky): - As proposed, with 1 INF DIV in Helsinki
- IF RoMI
- As proposed, except:
1 INF (5-4),Helsinki IF OptRule.Divisions: 1 INF DIV, Vaasa OR 1 INF DIV, Turku OR (somewhat more risky): - As proposed, with 1 INF DIV in Helsinki
- IF NOT RoI AND NOT RoMI
- As proposed, except:
1 INF (5-4),Helsinki IF OptRule.Divisions: 1 INF DIV: placed within movement range of the hexes W and NW of Viipuri OR 1 INF DIV, Petsamo OR - IF [ lake not frozen (and no significant risk of it being frozen in the following impulses) ] AND [(PA on hex E of Viipuri (especially if risk of being flipped by ground strike is low) ) AND no USSR unit within movement range of the hex NE of Viipurti) OR GSI ]
- As proposed, except:
1 INF (5-4), forest hex E of Viipuri 1 INF (6-3) wp, forest hex E of Viipuri 1 HQI, (36,49) Viipuri 1 TAC, (36,48) Forest hex NE of Helsinki (or other hexe within range of the Finnish units and Leningrad) IF OptRule.Divisions 1 INF DIV, forest hex E of Viipuri OR 1 INF DIV, Petsamo OR (maybe with somewhat lower probability): - As proposed, except
1 INF (5-4), Helsinki Proposals for 1940 setup: - IF lake not frozen (and no significant risk of it being frozen in the following impulses)) AND NOT 2+ (or 1+ if less risk) USSR units within movement range of the hex NE of Viipurti:
- IF RoI (and thus OptRule.Divisions)
- IF only 1 DIV able to do potential invasion/paradrop on Helsinki
- As proposed, with 1 INF DIV in Helsinki
OR - As proposed
- IF 2+ DIVs able to do potential invasion/paradrop on Helsinki
- As proposed, except:
1 INF (5-4),Helsinki 1 INF DIV, Vaasa OR 1 INF DIV, Turku OR (a bit more risky): - As proposed, with 1 INF DIV in Helsinki
OR (a bit more risky): - 1939 setup as proposed, except:
(1 INF (5-4),Helsinki; 1 INF DIV, Vaasa OR 1 INF DIV, Turku) OR (1 INF (5-4),as proposed; 1 INF DIV, Helsinki) 1 MOT, Forest hex within movement range of clear hex W of Viipuri 1 FTR, Forest hex W of swamp NW of Viipuri - IF RoMI
Similar to "IF 2+ DIVs able to do potential invasion/paradrop on Helsinki" above, except higher probability for chosing the modified 1939-aetup - IF NOT RoI AND NOT RoMI
- As proposed, except:
1 INF (5-4), forest hex NE of Viipuri 1 TAC, Forest hex within range of Viipuri and Leningrad IF OptRule.Divisions: 1 INF DIV: Forest hex E of Viipuri OR 1 INF DIV, Petsamo - IF lake frozen (or significant risk of it being frozen in the following impulses))
Similar to 1939 setup incl. all conditionals above (i.e. setup dependent on RoI etc.), except: 1 MOT, swamp hex NW of Viipuri 1 FTR, Forest hex NW+NE of Helsinki - IF 2+ (or 1+ if less risk (*) ) USSR units within movement range of the hex NE of Viipurti AND lake not frozen:
- IF RoI OR RoMI:
Similar to 1939 setup incl. all conditionals above (i.e. setup dependent on RoI etc.), except: 1 MOT, within movement range of clear hex W of Viipuri (place so adding ZoC to unprotected coastal hexes if possible) 1 FTR, Forest hex NW+NE of Helsinki - IF NOT RiI AND NOT RoMI:
- IF GS:
As proposed OR as if no GS (but less probability for chosing that setup) - IF NO GS:
Similar to 1939 setup as proposed, except: 1 INF (5-4),Helsinki 1 MOT, Empty hex (Forest if possible) within movement range of clear hex W of Viipuri 1 FTR, Forest hex NW+NE of Helsinki IF OptRule.Divisions: 1 INF DIV: Empty hex (Forest if possible) within movement range of clear hex W of Viipuri OR 1 INF DIV, Petsamo (*) especially if the unit is a corps and USSR can blitz attack the hex NW of Leningrad - then the ZoC can prevent any retreat That is all for now - maybe '41 and '42 will be added later
