The scenario briefing needs to be corrected to indicate both Hungary and Rumania never surrender.

2) What happens if you occupy the hexes depicted above.
3) The defeat of the Axis National Allies isn't part of the victory conditions but it sure is fun to clear the map of all the
enemy units. Am I right?
4) Good show, both of you.

I do not know if units feed off of the western edge.
If the center hex of Berlin is take it should be a Red Army scenario victory. However, neither Hungary or Rumania have surrendered as set out in the scenario briefing. I want the troops in Hungary and Rumania to help with taking Berlin but they have to stay there to eliminate axis troops that reconstitute there.

In the original test game between Willie and me, the junior axis partners surrender when their capitals were taken. Maybe something has been "broken" with this version. Having said that I did have some German units reconstruct in the bottom part of the map late in the game.

Hi John

It will be interesting to see if the remaining German units surrender when Berlin is taken. It is good to know the version you and Willie tested did work properly. Thanks for the information.

Status: offline 		T187 4/4/43 The Berlin front does not move much. For two turns now Berlin is still 7 hexes away. There are many German units not visible that just move up and replace units that are damaged. The Germans probably have an inventory rich with armored equipment since no big losses have taken place until now.

You could draw the whole map at an angle so that the top is actually in the northeast rather than the north. Thus you'd be able to have weather effects that occur in the relevant parts of the Soviet Union but not in central Europe.
