So I am playing as Germany (historical start, 1936, attacked Poland a little early, then immediately jumped on France, then the Balkans, Turkey, and into the Mideast, Suez, Gibraltor - the Italians were going pretty good, all of north africa west of Cairo). At this point I attacked Russia and went with the Drang Noch Osten option. My army was pretty small but after some tough slogging we got a Soviet surrender in the Bitter Peace (or whatever it's called). We then geared up for Sealion and regrouped along the new Russian border.

Partisans started springing up all over the place. With such a small army this is a big problem; we're drawing some units off the Sov border and using newly built formations to bump off these rebellions.

Here is where it gets weird: Partisans appeared in part of the old Romanian territory. I pause. I tagged a unit that was on the way to Greece through this area already to attack these Romanians. Order goes in without a problem (arrow directed into their province). I grab a second unit from the area of Bulgaria and directed it into the area of the Romanians. Arrow will not appear; big red X, and a warning that we can't enter neutral territory. Hmmm? Don't see any borders there. What? Click over to Country Map mode. Suddenly this whole section from the Black Sea to the old Polish border is bright red and listed as part of Russia. So some how these Romanian rebels liberated all of Bessarabia for the USSR?

Wouldn't be that big a deal but since we have a six month truce with the USSR we can't bulldoze this little enclave now. But more importantly, I don't understand the game mechanics that caused that to fire.


The game is basically over at this point anyway (860 points for the Axis, 60 for the Allies, 14 for the Comintern) and it's January 1941 but I would really like to understand the logic behind the event. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

LR

Have you fired M-R pact? If so, SU puts a claim on Bessarabia, and takes it away from Romania. Requirements for this decision: June 1940 or later, Germany and Romania exist, M-R pact has been accepted, Bessarabia is controlled by Romania, Germany controls Warsaw, Germany is not at war with SU, SU is not at war with Romania.

Yes, we did MR early on (and that explains the claim, of course). What I don't understand is how Romanian rebels in what was German annexed territory suddenly were able to turn it over to the Soviets in its entirety (not just the one province the rebels were in). Especially when we are at "peace" or at least an armistice (it can be broken at the earliest in 6 months). Makes no sense to me. I'll take a screen shot next time I play if that might help.

M-R accepted - check. Romania still existed - Government in Exile, check. Romanian Partisans controlled Bessarabia - so Romania controlled Bessarabia, check. Bitter Peace - Germany was not at war with SU. It was after June 1940 - check. Warsaw is controlled by Germans - check. SU is not at war with Romania - check.
Thus, all GAME requirements were met.

Maybe a check to see if the Soviet Union has surrendered or Bitter Peace fired should be incorporated. As it stands, it is really dumb.
