After installing the latest add-on pack I decided to try out the 1939 Europe scenario as Russia, one thing I noticed about the bitter winter forests was that you can't build lumber mills in them but you can build cottages without even removing the forest, so that you have a cottage and a forest in the same tile. I know this is a really small nitpick but I thought I might mention it.
One thing I don't understand is why some technologies do nothing, are they just there as stepping stones to other techs?
also does any one know if AI for Germany ever declares war with open play on. In my game its the summer of 1940 and so far they've done nothing (I however Have taken over Poland and the Baltic)
other than that the scenario seems very good. I especially like all the unique looking infantry. :goodjob:

The forests will be fixed in beta 2 of the add-on.

And yes, some techs are just stepping stones.
