Great to see, thank you!

Great series. Nice discussion and explanation of choices, etc. I think the rule has changed regarding using internals in v4.3. Now, you have to spend on map supply if available and not choose to use internals (9.5 C) Waiting to see the Russian turn as I'm not sure what to do (or can do) T1 as the Russian!

[@HeinrichHuf]

Thanks for the feedback! You are correct that internal stocks cannot be used if on map supply is available. I do not think that we have violated this rule. You might be referring to a situation when the Soviet player withheld supply (or considered withholding supply) in a combat. The defender has this option irrespective of whether he has access to on map supply or not (OCS 4.3 Rule 12.4: "...Defenders always have the option to withhold combat supply and defend at half strength.").

[@Gary_Quick]

@@HeinrichHuf That's an interesting point. It certainly was even more so in older rules, where you had complete option whether to use on-map, internals, or nothing. It seems they have gotten further and further away from this as the rules have been revised and updated. Good luck with your defense!
