I was wondering on the exact rules on the east-block.
Is all offensive action on them, including bribing and normal attacks, not allowed until the end of the cold war tech is reached?

We kindly ask the Europeans to leave the subsidiaries of C.R.A alone.
We also wish to end this status of open competition with the EU!
The Unalligned have done the Europeans no harm, and do not intend to.

Also, I do not remember there being any official rule about the Easter-Bloc.
I say we should not ahve any rules about it.
I personally have never managed to take much from them in single player games, without paying a heavy price in units, so go ahead if you want.

We apologize for our over entrepreneurial sales men and we are willing to co-operate rather than have open competition with the unaligned.
