I would be more interested to hear whether something is being made to force the player to station divisions in the Far East when playing the Soviet Union.
Didn't even happen, historically. I mean, yes, they were stationed there, but they weren't these elite units that helped sway the tide of the war (is a common myth). The Germans used this to account for why there were suddenly dozens and dozens of new divisions at the front (realistically, it was just that the Soviets finally mobilized).
There was a thread about this in the HoI III board a few days ago, I believe.
