@Krieghund Thanks! (For completeness, I should have been more clear in that Germany controlled Persia at the beginning of its turn in this example. i.e. there was/is a legal landing zone for the fighter)
Neutral countries
-
Which neutral country is probably the most useless? I’d have to vote for Eire. What do you guys think?
-
I guess it’s only way to become useful is to have situation where Russia still stands, but the UK have fallen. Then it can serve as a landing area for US planes…… but that use is very limited.
-
Personally, when playing Germany i find taking Turkey as a benefitial thing. Sure it costs IPCs, but it puts the British in a terrible condition in the Mid East, and leading to a easy victory between Japan and Germany :D
-
the most usless? Id have to say afganistan
-
Turkey can be very good to take. Swden ca be a real nuissance for the Allies as they try to dislodge Germany from there.
-
spain is a great choice if you attak WE and spain the same time
-
Most useful: probly Spain or turkey
Least useful: Afghanistan (maybe Ireland) -
ireland can be used, the least is saudi arabia. who the heck would take that?
-
change mind for least usful, now-sudia arbia
-
How is taking turkey beneficial? I’m assuming you are saying there is a land bridge between East Europe and Turkey? Is that in the rules?
-
its not in the rulrs because it would be too powerful
-
Most useful: probly Spain or turkey
Least useful: Afghanistan (maybe Ireland)Ireland has no use unless you are playing the Cold War scenario in Iron blitz. then it’s worth 1 IPC.
-
cant use saudi in iron blitz now canya

@Wasz:
I’m assuming you are saying there is a land bridge between East Europe and Turkey? Is that in the rules?
Take Turkey and the Caucasus with Germany. Then on the non-combat phase, non-combat move 2 ARM from Ukraine to Turkey. There is no land bridge from East Europe to Turkey.
-
whats the point in that?
-
Having Turkey lets you threaten Russia, the Caucasus, EE, Karelia, Syria, Persia, India, and Egypt if you have armor there.
-
ah
-
opps that was me
-
they have a map of the board on this site in the downloads section just so you know
-
Having Eire gives you no advantage whatsoever other than making your territory look bigger. When I play against the computer, I take all the neutral countries like Mongolia, Afghanistan, and Rio de Oro just so it will all be one colour and look nicer.
