Convoy Route Question

[calvinhobbesliker]

Let’s say that Japan invades Borneo on J1 using only transports. Does that mean that, since technically Japan did not capture the Borneo convoy, Japan does not get the income from Borneo?

Unless im totally misunderstanding you, you’ve got it all wrong.
The convoy zones are a way to attack enemy IPCs. At the end of a players turn, enemy ships in convoy zones roll to attack IPCs of bordering land.
You will earn IPCs for any and all territories you hold.

This is about the original Pacific game, not P40. I don’t think you roll for convoy raids in this game.

That’s correct.  You must control both the territory and the associated convoy to get the income.  If one is controlled by one side and the other is controlled by the other, neither side gets the IPCs.

Thanks for the clarification Krieghund.
