2. Is there a NM drop if the Axis take Leningrad? Unlike with other NM cities I don't see a popup that this happens when I take Leningrad. I would think that it should be quite significant.


3. I still think Russian NM is artificially too high to start. It should suffer a higher NM drop upon war, maybe 25000, and then creep up after January 1st, 1942, especially if the three big cities are still held.


4. The BEF leaves France too soon. I would suggest that they should stay until the Axis get very close to Paris and they should concentrate around Calais.


5. I may have mentioned this before but there is no such thing as a "Soviet Winter" :) It has always been referred to as "Russian Winter". The winter event is geographic, not political LOL.


6. Is there any way to randomize the Allied subs locations in attacking the southern Norway convoys? I can always find them in the exact same hex just east of Heligoland.


Keep up the great work!

1939; 1940 and 1941 Campaigns
- An Axis declaration of war on the USSR will now reduce Soviet National Morale by 15,000 points. This will be regained by an increase in the bonus when the USA joins the Allies (increased by 5,000 points) when the Siberians arrive (increased by 2,500 points) and if the USSR has not surrendered by the 1st January 1943 (increased by 2,500 points, as well as increasing the per turn bonus from 100 to 150 points providing Moscow is still in Allied hands)(dhucul2011).

As the human British player I always hightail it out of France after putting in my token jesture of Anglo-French solidarity. I don't see why the AI shouldn't have the same opportunity.

Yes there is, a 5,000 drop as well as a boost to both Germany and Italy's NM, of 2,500 and 500 respectively.

The only pop up is about the boost to Germany's NM so as to limit the amount of pop ups.

I pretty sure that there is a severe morale penalty for the French if less than X British units are on the continent no?

There are bonuses/penalties to French morale based on the presence or absence of British units. But they aren't huge, and given the breathtaking speed with which French morale tends to cave in once the Germans turn the corner, salvaging three or four decent units from the debacle often seems more the paramount concern. I guess you could call it "Perfidious Albion" in action.

1. Some really good players put up a stiff fight with the British delaying the fall of France to such an effect as to cripple Barbarossa. The Germans are beat up, the big MMP boost from France's fall is late, and units don't have enough time to get to the USSR and have their morale recover causing a late attack.

2. More normal play and all the brits make it out or are killed in supply to come back in time to defend Britain or sail to Egypt.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the reply on Leningrad. The NM penalty for losing one of the three big cities should definately be higher.

I would also suggest adding more NM cities, maybe Kharkov, Baku, Riga and Rostov?

Its frustrating having captured Leningrad, Smolensk, Kiev and Rostov by mid 1942 and USSR morale is over 85%!
