ORIGINAL: Chliperic - a new option for Southern Whites: request German help between June to November 1918. The option will bring you large resources, men and even artillery units, but the Allied intervention Level will drop from 2 to 4... Interesting. Shouldn't it affect national morale though? As I understand most of the officers were very anti-German, and considered Bolsheviks to be merely German agents at first. Krasnov Don Cossacks received an German help whose a part was destined ultimately for the Volunteer army. You're right about an-German posture of most Volunteer officers, the first being Denikin, but until his death, Alexiev, not represented in the game, and who was very influential, advocated for a DON first strategy rather than Kuban, with acceptance of German help, not by German inclination, but necessity, as until November 18 Allied help couldn't be really delivered, with the closure of Turkish straits and the Turkish presence in Transcaucasia. Adding such a penalty isn't wrong in historical sense, but I prefer the option to be the choice of an immediate bonus to the cost of a more cautious Allied Intervention later. As AIL begins to 8, a drop to 4 to 6 makes reaching level 13 very difficult, and even 4 is close to the end of any material help. Of course, the AIl should climb a bit from June 18 to mid-19, but it's not sure, and slow most of the time.
