Ron,
That one little change (free assignment from Higher HQ for first entry) sounds good to me.
I have forgotten what is the time frame for scenario # 102?
For Russia (Soviet Union), you'll need some type of basic political (Declaration of War, D.O.W.) code.
I think you'll want to have what SPI and WIE termed as follows:
Three major powers:
Axis Powers: (Germany, Italy, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria)
Allied Nations: (Poland, The Netherlands, Belgium, Commonwealth, The United States, France (Third Republic), and Vichy France (and special rules for Anglo-French non-cooperation)
Soviet Union
Finland (Finland will eventually become an Axis Power)
Nine Armed Neutrals: (Norway, Greece, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Spain, Sweden, Eire (Republic of Ireland), Portugal and Switzerland)
Five Minor Neutrals: (Danzig, Tangiers, Denmark, Andorra, and Luxembourg)
At the bare minimum I think you need three sides; Axis, Allies and the Soviet Union. If you can't code 3 powers, then I think the Soviets should become 'Allied' but it would be better if there were three.
Just some thoughts for mulling.
BTW how goes the work now?
