Or to put it around the other way, would anything dire happen if we were 
to code this way? One of the results of the existing behaviour is that 
most Axis commanders skew their deploymements in order to launch an 
invasion that maximises this behaviour., the sort of behaviour that gave 
rise to the 'perfect deployment' feature for the complete immediate 
destruction of Poland.

 From the point f view of the gamer nothing wrong with this, from the 
point of view of the simulation designer, such acquired behaviour works 
to completely frustrate the aims of the designer, who wanted  a partisan 
war to spring up in replication of history.

If we allow the cadres to be formed in the overrun movement, then the 
immediate pressure is relieved to organise such an attack, and the 
partisan war starts up later as envisaged.

The immediate effects remain the same, with Yugoslavia falling, but the 
simulation's parameters remain 'un-overturned'.
