MJY Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hey guys, I searched the World War I: The Great War forum pages, but couldn't find this answer -- which surprised me as it must have come up by now. Anyway, here's my question. I understand that the Russian Winter/Soviet Winter (whichever term you prefer) is now a probabalistic event. In other words, it does not automatically occur on the same date in every game, but instead is a very high probability event over the course of several winter turns in late 1941/early 1942. But what happens if the Russian Winter/Soviet Winter does not strike at all in the winter of 1941/1942? I just had that happen in a PBEM game with an opponent who is world-renowned for his extraordinary luck! (Yes, that's a shot at the guy I'm playing!!!) Will the Russian Winter/Soviet Winter now possibly hit in the winter of 1942/1943? Thanks. MJY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hi I've just checked the script and it could happen in the following winter if it hasn't happened yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Yeah, that's what I thought and was afraid of...I saw it had a 75% chance of hitting each turn after a particular date (Dec 1941.) But also believe that it had to happen on a winter turn. Not sure what area would require this winter turn, but just assume the area where the capital is (Moscow.) But I think MJY meant to say that he was Mr. Lucky (a shot back across the bow...) Because now it will hit in 42/43 when I have alot more troops there to affect and more expensive to reinforce (since they will hopefully be at a higher tech level.) I guess I'll just have to take out Russia by then... 1st time this is ever happened in a game...Should be interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
