Improving Russia's historic stout defense
-
@donpaulo You probably should specify which version you are playing (classic vs revised vs global, etc).
-
Indeed, although I think the argument could be made for most versions unless I am mistaken.
I currently playing Global 1940 2nd edition
-
@donpaulo Ah, yes in that case most players strongly agree Allies are underpowered in Global 40 2nd. You might want to check out Balanced Mod version as that tried to make the balance a bit closer to avoid needing such large bids.

Understood, I know I am late to the "party" so to speak and that this game has more of a strategic focus to it.

AH 3rd Reich has a great first winter rule where the Wehrmacht are not doubled on defense, the Red Army is also granted a free offensive option which normally costs 15 resources points. To put it into perspective 15 resource points is equal to 10% of Russia's starting resource pool.
The Russian Front has a nifty 2nd impulse restriction when weather is bad that effectively restricts the German ability to blitz.

@donpaulo Im not a Global player per se, but I have dabbled here and there. The game balance might benefit from a mechanism such a Russian winter. Either a one time event or cyclical events. TWW, Big World 2 BOP, and Big World 3 (in works) have these type of mechanism in various flavors. The latter also has a mechanism that allows Russia to move their capital and destroy front line factories if needed, but will cost them a hefty amount of political influence (PI), that could be used elsewhere.

@general_zod Zod I believe you owe me a quarter everytime you use the term Poitical Influence.
-
@donpaulo You may want to look at TWW. It has many of the features you list that are currently possible. Some features are planned for a new game I am working on... but in essence the type of situation you desire is already there.

wow thanks for the posts. I will look into TWW
