Developer's Notes
Replacement Records
Chart
1. Note that the Soviet replacement pool is
maintained as one combined pool, and not as
separate pools for the Leningrad and Baltic
Military Districts. For replacement purposes
(only), treat the entire Sovietowned playing area
as one Military District.
2. The number of special replacement RPs
which may be added to the Soviet replacement
pool each turn is not restricted. That is, the "no
more than 10 RPs per Military District" provision
of Rule 34B3 is waived for this scenario. Simply
make the normal special replacement calculation
and add the result to the Soviet replacement
pool.
3. Note that the Axis player receives his
entire allotment of regular replacement RPs on
the Jul 141 turn. He must budget these
accordingly, as they are all he will get.
Deployment
Note
Soviet players are confronted with a major
problem when setting up per the historical
deployment. Both of their flanks on the border
have gaps which are impossible to seal. The
gap near Memel at 1B:2125 can be contributed
to Soviet unpreparedness and/or poor staff
work. The gap along the Soviet left flank in the
1B:3000 row is a different story. There actually
ARE Soviet units there, but they are being
overrun by German units from 3rd Panzer Group
in action not directly shown in the scenario.
