EXCLUSIVE RULES FOR WAR IN EUROPE BOOKLET

[71.4] (Clarification) The actions of the Soviet Union affect the Political Point Total just as if the Soviet Union were the Allied Player. Note that the Winter War does not affect the Political Point Total, but a subsequent Soviet attack on a neutral Finland does.
[71.4] (Change) 64123 to G4123
[72.1] (Clarification) By an Axis attack on Finland in its armed neutral status, the Political Point Change is a negative eight points - 3 for Finland and 5 for the Soviet Union - because such an attack causes Total War with the Soviet Union.
[72.1] (Change) Delete the last sentence, second paragraph of Case 72.1.
[72.1] & [72.45] (Change) See Case 54.2 (Finnish Restrictions, WAR IN EUROPE, are changed to match Case 54.2, WAR IN THE EAST).
[72.41] (Correction) Finnish units are deployed as follows: two in Helsinki, one each in G3204, G3403, and G3601.

[73.11] (Addition) Should either the Soviets or the Axis invade Turkey prior to war between the Soviets and the Axis, Turkey is to be partitioned along a line from J3002 to J3015. This line is the farthest that a German unit may be following partition. Turkey Surrenders when there are no Turkish units on one side (either side) of this line AND Ankara is Enemy Occupied. There is no Political Point Cost for the second Player's invading Turkey. Partition occurs on the Game-Turn following Turkish Surrender. Any units on the wrong side of the Partition Line two turns after partitioning are eliminated.
[73.23] (Addition) Rumanian units may not go north of hex-row H0001.
[73.27] (Addition) These units add to the standing Army in Rumania. Units released for use outside of Rumania are defined by the WAR IN THE EAST Game/Cycle Record Track.

[73.51] (Addition) Yugoslavian units, divisions, and Cadre can stack, pass through, or be passed through by Allied or Soviet units (effectively not associated, but allied with both). At the start of every Game Turn, the Soviet Player decides if the Yugoslavian units and divisions move and attack on the Soviet or Allied Player Turn. Yugoslavians may move and attack only once per Player Turn.
[74.12] (Correction) Add 1 x 1-3 to Kiev District (three total).
[74.13] (Change) Add 1 x 10-1-10 to the Kharkov District; delete 1 x 10-1-10 from Siberia.

[74.54] (Clarification) At the beginning of each Cycle, Soviet units must be within the appropriate Districts and Fronts. During the other turns of the cycle, Soviet units may be in transition.
[74.54] (Delete) ...so long as he ...for 3/5/41 (inclusive).
[74.7] (Clarification) Siberian Forces in WAR IN EUROPE are extracted by 74.72, 74.73, and 74.74.
