Stalin's Between Frames
BETWEEN FRAMES
- A base is encircled if the scenario supply lines (check the map below) from HQ cannot reach it through friendly bases.
(Note: Viipuri City =V55, is never out of supply, but it does not supply to any other base!)
- All encircled bases are considered lost to enemy between the frames. The scenario CM:s will calculate all of these losses and they will happen simultaneously for both sides. If the result from those base losses causes more encirclement situations, another round will be calculated. This will be repeated until there are no more encircled bases.
- If a home air or vehicle base is lost due to encirclement, it can be relocated as an additional relocation.
(See Unit Relocations below)
2) Unit Relocations
- FAF can relocate one (1) unit's home air base after each frame (in addition to lost home base relocations).
- VVS can relocate two (2) unit's home air base after each frame (in addition to lost home base relocations).
- A home air base can be relocated to any empty friendly base which was not in enemy possession during the last frame.
- In addition, any unit can be ordered to switch their home air base with another friendly unit.
- All vehicle home bases can be relocated to any friendly base they can reach from their current home vehicle base with four (4) steps through friendly bases and along the scenario supply line, as long as the limit of only three (3) vehicle units in a single base is not exceeded in the destination.
- The country CO:s and XO:s will inform the scenario CM:s about all the relocation they wish to perform between the frames as soon as possible.
3) Reinforcements between Frames
- Each unit will receive a predefined amount of new planes and vehicles before the following frame.
- New planes can be used to fill empty slots and to replace old planes, but the original number of available planes cannot be exceeded. (The country CO has the final say on which possible surplus planes each unit can discard. They cannot be transferred to other units!)
- All new tanks can be added to unit's resources. (There is no maximum number of tanks in unit resources.)
Kuhlmey - Special rule after the first frame
Two Finnish units (FAF4 and FAF5) will transform as units of the Lufwaffe's special detachment "Kuhlmey".
- Both of these units' home air base will be the Immola air base (A90) and they cannot be relocated during the rest of the scenario unless that base is captured.
- The vehicle home bases of these units follow the normal rules.
