There I cannot agree... The forts in Vladivostok were built in the 19:th century and were obsolete by WWII. I donīt think they would have had any impact in...

Ken: I faced almost the same problem in my Houston game, a strong Vichy II. I was really afraid of making Vichy Hostile (they had a large fleet) and I had no...
... those were all very excellent reasons for the Allies to go into Persia. I would go in with the Russians if there is a breakthrough at Suez. I just keep...

I also played without Territorials at Wifcon and found that it helped USSR vs Japan. I wouldn't mind if the Manchurians had 1 Terr, but 3, thats as many as...
