Tips and Tricks


Executing The Fire in the East initial surprise attack.
You can execute the surprise attack by staring the game on Jun I 41 and skipping the soviet player turn. An optional way is by starting a game on Jun II 41 and selecting the "Options->Time Jump" command to go back to the axis initial phase after the surprise attack combat phase has ended.


Ignoring border rivers in Fire in the East surprise attack turn
Rivers running along the border are ignored in the FitE initial surprise attack turn on Jun II 41. This can be simulated in JET by selecting "Ice" for weather zone C from the weather dialog box since ice-covered rivers don't affect movement or combat. Just remember to melt the ice after the surprise attack.



Executing the surprise attack turn in the middle of the game (i.e. Balkan Front)
Start the axis surprise attack turn normally (or allied if they have an extra turn). After the combat phase select the “Options->Time Jump” command and go back to the initial phase and start the turn normally.
