@SuperbattleshipYamato I like the ideas/rules you mentioned. I will follow through on triple a.
Canada 51st state after London falls

Whoa boys, this is getting WAY too close to a political discussion! Please reign it in. (Right now I choose to see it as a discussion on language, but the word “illegal” is there and laws are created by politicians which is inherently political and that is not allowed on the boards.)
Ah it’s realy strange because I saw a lot of bad comments about french during the last few months and I never seen moderator comments.We’re talking about the people of France, not an internal political flirtation about the legality of illegal aliens in the United States. Not saying it has devolved to that point, but it’s risking it and I’d rather point out the risk than have to be “heavy handed.”

I got no problems with the Canadians. They seem pretty cool to me. After all, FMG is in Canada and they are providing us with some of the highest detailed, most historically accurate gaming pieces ever made, not to mention very sharp looking combat dice. So, if it is our destiny to be ruled by Canada, so be it. The only thing I fear is getting mayonaise on my cheesburgers. YUCK!

We also mayo on our fries.

Try tartar sauce, it’s better than Mayo, in my opinion.
You know, with how ridiculously easy it is to get India and England now, I think as each one falls all territories should report to Toronto. They lose the treasuries, of course, but after that, all income goes to Toronto from then on.
-
Agree with you on the tartar sauce.
I like the idea that Ottawa should collect for any UK territories in North and South America after London falls (maximum is 8 with Brazil activated but true neutrals left alone). I still think there should be something to credit the special friendship between USA and Canada; perhaps Canadian UK units could be mobilized in the Western US industrial complex?
I suppose you could also have Johannesburg collect for any territories in Africa and the Middle East, but that would be too pro-allies and not historical. WWII ended the colonial era (i.e. we started calling former colonies “third world”), despite USA and USSR empire building that ultimately failed in 1989 (Berlin wall) and 2008 (Lehman Brothers).

BLAH! Don’t care for tartar sauce either. I suppose I could go with Miracle Whip.
If Canada became their own power after London falls, why would they need to place units in the Western USA IC? They have one of their own in Quebec. I know it’s a minor, but they will only be making 7 IPCs per turn so they can’t build that many units anyway.
In South Africa, there were some elements that were actually for Germany. I read somewhere that they wanted South Africa to become neutral, thus closing off a vital naval port to Britain. Obviously they lost that vote, but I’m just saying if London falls, perhaps South Africa could become another Neutral state, perhaps even Pro-Axis. Still don’t know what to do with the rest of the British possessions in Africa after London falls though. I guess they will just sit there unmanned until some Italians manage to roll down and take them. -
If Canada could mobilize out of Western US, they could build ships there and help out in the Pacific without having to sail all the way down to Panama or spend their tiny income on an IC. At least it would give them an option to do something on that side.
I would also like to see z106 cease to be a convoy zone. Merchant shipping from Canada would stop altogether when London falls, so there should be no convoy to raid there.
Also if (when) London falls, Germany should plunder UK’s income minus the 7IPCs for the Canadian territories. Again, this is because Canada would immediately stop shipping its wheat, oil, steel, etc to Nazi London. On the next UK turn, the government in exile would have that $7 to start out with.

Make British Columbia worth 2 IPC and they can build a complex there. :P

I think only the French-Canadians use mayo on fries. Me, I like malt vinegar. But when I was in Holland for work, the guys at Heineken thought I was weird for making a sandwich and using mayo. I asked what they use the mayo for if not for making sandwiches. They replied “With our fries of course!”. I guess it’s kind of a European thing too. We had free mayo for the fries but had to pay for ketchup at macdonalds, half a guilder if I recall, before the Euro was a currency you could hold anyways.

@Vance:
Canada 51st state after London falls […] Nevertheless I want to float the idea that if London falls in Global 1940, the Canadian territories (7 IPCs total) should immediately come under control of the USA and the Americans would get that income (which they kind of do in real life actually). It would be historically accurate.
Canada would actually become the 49th state, not the 51st, because the U.S. only had 48 states during WWII. Hawaii and Alaska became states after the war.

(Sidenote - The US would become the 10th province or the 3rd territory. Thanks for the correction!)
-
Geeze OK I forgot about Alaska and Newfoundland. Let’s just make the USA a protectorate of Canada instead. Hey we could bulldoze Washington DC and make Samoa their national capitol. The world would really be a better place if all American politicians were put on a very remote island.
-
wait the US isnt a protectorate of canada yet! :-o

_I think only the French-Canadians use mayo on fries. _
Another urban legend….completly false.
It’s a matter of taste not a matter of origins. -
I dunno. My hometown is a mix of old english and old french. In the french town restaurants they use mayo on fries and in the english restaurants don’t. But that is subjective so… Also, I was limiting the domain of people to that of Canadians. It was popular with the local guys I had lunch with in Holland so not merely a local phenomenon.
Now try to tell my poutine is a merely a matter of taste and not origins :-) Real poutine requires cheese curds from Quebec…they are different, trust me…
-
There’s no mayo on restaurant table in QC. You have to ask to get one.
There’s over 15 differents kind of poutine in QC.
Yes it’s a matter of taste. :-o -

The Soviets couldn’t russiafy Afghanistan never mind Canada. Heck, they couldn’t even russiafy Ukraine
Right, poutine is not known as a french dish…… :roll:
-
If I’m not mistaken, Canada actually a pretty good military presence in Afghanistan. WE ARE TAKING OVER THE WORLD.
and by the way, the best Canadian food item is Kraft Dinner.
