The emblem (or emblems) on the territory is more important than the color. Since colonies don’t have small major power emblems on them, they aren’t considered to be aligned territories.
Sevastpol controlled by the Central Powers?

Would it be better or worse for the Allies to let the Central Powers take Sevastopol?

@SuperbattleshipYamato It’s been a while since I’ve been on here and played, so I may be rusty… but here’s my two-cents:
As the CP, taking Sevastopol is a mistake unless the British are leaving the Ottomans alone (which in itself is a mistake, IMHO). The 3 IPCs are juicy, but after Russia capitulates, the CP can only win if they focus 100% of their firepower west. They cannot do that if Britain opens up the Russian front later in the game, and at that point hope is lost.
I almost never take Sevastopol as the CP unless, as I said, the Ottomans are in a position to actually keep the British at bay, which is rare. It is tempting, but I’d much rather let a small gain pass me by for the sake of keeping the UK bottled up in the long game. Far better to bottle-neck them in Istanbul than let the cat out of the bag in Russia.
Thoughts? Also, I’d be happy to start up a game with you again sometime, if you’d like. It’s been a while. :)

@SuperbattleshipYamato I misread your question. You asked about the Entente allowing the CP to take it. That being said, yes, as the Entente I would be quite pleased if the CP took Sevastopol, and I would let them have it until Russia signs the armistice (assuming RR).

Thank you! Welcome back.
Dang, it’s been a while. I almost forgot you (no offense). I’d like to play a game, probably 1914 with The Good Captain’s balance rules and with me as the Allies.

@SuperbattleshipYamato You’re on. And no offense taken. I look forward to being handed a solid walloping.
