Which is sensible, since Stalin didn't lift so much as a finger as long as the western powers were not busy with Germany.
That's what I get for consulting Blitz Carnage's version of the house rules, now I feel stupid. While I appreciate we shouldn't discuss the house rules, I would like to know if that means no Winter War?
no, the winter war is a valid decision on the Soviets' part. I'm just not sure they can activate without M-R.
I think soviet should be able to dow the baltics and others that would fell into ribbentop even if they don't sign the pact.
Well, that was quite a surprise. Still, seems like a lot of German troops are missing. I wonder if see-lowe is next after Spain?
First you slap them into the face, then you make sure they trip over, and before they recover you finish with a punch below the belt-line. Welcome to Hearts of Iron.
Well, it would not have been my first choice, but there does seem to be a major chunk of the German army missing. One could assume there was a fleet waiting to proceed with troops to go somewhere, especially since Italy is at war with Poland, and will have the border with Russia, not Germany.
Well, it will be their troops on the border, but the territory will be German. They are attacking from German soil, so the land goes to Germany.
somewhere in between the british navy sinks the invasion force. unless this group hasnt got rules about the ijn rebasing. in that case you might just wanna call it gg.
the IJN can only get to the ETO if they can do it with a single rebase order. there are a bunch of other details that I have forgotten, but until Japan joins the fun, that's the general gist of it.

No Axis forces have entered the USSR yet, nor has war been declared, so no. The Invasion of Poland, Case White, Fall Weiss, or whatever you prefer to call it, is separate.
We don't know yet if Germany decided to build a fleet. If he has the normal army and air force build out, what is he doing with them? Hopefully he will tip his hand soon.
Seeing that this is a 1938 start, I doubt the German fleet is a match for the Brits at this point. The Uk carriers alone could probably stop whatever the Germans had at this point.
Sealion sounds grand and all, but in reality it is extremely hard to execute in MP when the UK player is competent. I said competent, not brilliant. If the UK player is truly gifted, any Sealion attack will end the war for the axis right there!
I know, that is why I really don't think that will happen. But, what the heck did he do with all those units? Have to admit, I forgot this starts in 38.

As far as the missing units go, I have no idea either. It would be interesting if he was upgrading many of them into something?!?
He might go for a naval invasion of the SU via the Baltic sea. But that has its risks as well at his stage. Truth is, all we can do is guess right now.
