@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)

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.
-
LOL :D . the computer changes the color when you capture a territorie?
-
Colombia can be useful if you’ve got to to take out an US transport with a German Bomber and have no time to relocate it properly. Otherwise it cannot return at all…
(Since Kamikaze runs are not allowed.)
Costly? Yes, it will be blown away on the ground the turn after by any US fighters or bombers… But if you just have to obliterate them transport…
It also forces to US to support the transport in the eastern seazone…
Ex. I take one four against 4 one’s any day, considering the investment…
