[WarInEur] Queries

[Chuck Sutherland]

6-5 should be able to opt for converting a retreat into a AEX

2 - I don't know for sure

3 - LOL yep it needs to be totally rewritten, first if the Germans cross 
the USSR border it should be total war. I've heard but not seen where 
the germans actually avoid triggering total war by not taking the cities 
that trigger it and bypassing them using MSU's etc. Its a total candy 
arse rules lawyering gambit and I would not play with someone who did 
this period!

Limited War should end the moment the axis cross the Russian 1941 border 
period. I mean realisticly if Stalin was seeing this he would be beating 
the masses to get more equipment in a heart beat!
