Pregame Phase Idea

[Edwin P.]

Now lets add an option for the Russians - Give them a choice:

1. The Siberian troops appear in the northern Urals or

2. Siberian troops appearing in Southern Russia near Stalingrad or

3. Forgoing the Siberian reinforcements to declare war on Japan in the hope of capturing production capacity in Manchuko/Korea from the Japanese. Say a 5% per turn that Russia gets a permanent 125 MPP per turn production boost.

Now the Axis player can't be certain as to where the Siberian troops will appear.

PS: Also the arrival of the Siberian troops should be covered by FOW so the Axis player does not know of their arrival until they are first encountered.

Roosevelt may personally have commited himself for the war, but the fact is that USA didn't start seriously increase their war production until Pearl Harbor. It was only in 1942 that they started mass-converting peace-time factories into war-time production.
