99% sure open communication is allowed. The extent to which it’s allowed is up to you, though. With my play-group we cut it off at “talk of general strategy is allowed, anything more specific is not.” We do it this way because of bad experiences where multi-player games would devolve into the “good” Axis Player and the “good” Allies Player forcing their teammates to obey their orders on what to do each turn, effectively turning the game into a 1v1 with a peanut gallery. That’s not much fun for anyone.
Rule question about capturing a capital
-
Hi there,
I guess this is not a global 1940 specific rule question but I am not sure how much general rules differ in various games thus I ask here as I only played 1940 global once so far.
Assuming the following situation which happened in our (of course newbie game as everybody played the first time) game:
England EU finishes turn with 30 income round 1 –> Earning 30 and putting them in the treasury
Assuming Germany captures London round 2 --> Q1. Germany gets the 30 unspent IPCs from England immediately during the German income phase, correct?
England EU round 2 has 0 money and cannot buy anything but recaptures London --> Q2: Assuming there were no other changes England collects 30 again in its income phase, correct?
Assuming Round 3 Germany recaptures London again --> Q 3: Does this mean Germany gets the 30 from England again?Q4: So the conclusion is: In case you recapture your own capital you must wisely determine whether you can hold it because otherwise you just give the invader easy money several times?
Thanks for any help!

Actually, Germany gets UK Europe’s IPCs immediately after the battle for London. These IPCs are not considered to be income.

Yeah, I have made IPC tracking sheets to keep track of each country’s income. They include a special row just for “capital plunder”. It goes like this:
Starting IPCs
Purchases & Repairs
Leftovers
Capital Plunder
IPC Income
Convoy Losses
Adjusted IPC Income
National Objectives
IPCs Carried ForwardIf we play with techs, and someone gets the War Bonds tech, we simply add that into the NO section.
