Has group 3 of this card been purchased pre-game or is it available for play in June III (or not)?
If it is purchased in June III, when is card C available - October I or October III? Always start at beginning of month as there are no tracking markers for weeks?
There are none for months either - should there be? I see there is at least one other card with monthly recycling.
Why is the delay +4M rather than +2S?
Assuming the card hasn't been pre-purchased, it might sometimes make sense to defer using it until July I. You could spend 3 EP (plus FP) for rebuilding six mech corps (should there be sufficient casualties among them). This six from PP for the later inf corps in exchange for delayed tank units later. A terrible decision for the campaign but seems a no brainer for Barbarossa scenario.
Thanks, Tom! I have marked those cards "Must Play!" for their cost and added that sentence to the rules. :D
Oh, you're right. The "negative" OOB events like that (and Italian withdrawal, etc.) need to be mandated. Let me think on that. Good catch! :D
Yes. The Air War narrative in Summer '40 demands that as a feature.
You don't purchase Group 3; it is free. It is the "Remove these from the game starting now" group.
Because that is the correct timeframe for this event. Historically, it occurs in June '41 and so the card is placed in October '41. If the Soviets and Germans went to war in '39, it would still be right. :-)
That helps avoid people "gaming the system," as your last paragraph muses, I think.
