Also there is a special rule when SRing Stalin. See below. Typically players SR him with a SUa army and then look to move him anywhere in a future turn.


The Stalin counter starts in Moscow. The Stalin
counter can move only by SR (at a cost of 1 SR). If
it leaves Moscow it must SR to Kuibishev (if still
Soviet controlled and in supply). If Kuibishev has fallen or is
OOS, or if SRing from Kuibishev, the Stalin count

51 12/14/2025 2:01:00 AM Summer 1941 Axis Message I can check with Michael dauer. I haven’t played in a year but my memory was that it didn’t count as a unit
50 12/13/2025 10:24:00 PM Summer 1941 Allied Message I will accept your rule interpretation,
I will redo my move in the morning.
49 12/13/2025 10:09:00 PM Summer 1941 Allied Message Are you saying Stalin doesn't block movement?
48 12/13/2025 1:07:00 PM Summer 1941 Axis Message I thin you are corect about Leningrad because Leningrad is considered a fort space and therefore limited supply.

I'll wait to see whether you change your move about Stalin in Moscow though.
47 12/13/2025 12:45:00 PM Summer 1941 Axis Message RE- Stalin - Rule 5.5

It may not retreat, and is eliminated if Axis units occupy its
space. If the Stalin counter is alone in a space during the
Allied Attrition Segment, and the space qualifies for change
to Axis Control as described in 13.5, the Stalin counter is
eliminated. If eliminated the Axis player gains 4 VP. If the
Stalin counter is anywhere but Moscow Soviet RPs are reduced (see 14.55 Moscow). Note: This rule has no effect on
Rule 8.5.
46 12/13/2025 8:07:00 AM Summer 1941 Allied Message Lenningrad is in limited Supply not out of supply. So it can move 3.

I think Stalin is a unit and thus blocks movement. I didn't see anything in the Stalin rules that said this effect did not apply.
45 12/12/2025 1:58:00 PM Summer 1941 Axis Message also FYI, OOS units can still move. there movement rate is simply reduced. I could capture Moscow from Rybinsk.
44 12/12/2025 1:56:00 PM Summer 1941 Axis Message I think for supply purposes, THe Front in Leningrad is considered to be OOS for movement purposes and can only move 2 spaces as supply is determined at the time of activation.
