I think that the reason that players try to force Sealion is that they think that defeating the UK is the same as defeating Middle Earth. The way to defeat it is to win the game. The best way for the Axis to win it seems to me is playing your own strategy and forcing the Allies to react to it. The Axis have the advantage and initiative to begin the game and they need to strike hard and as quickly as possible without worrying where the UK builds a factory. Middle Earth gives the Allies a chance to stop the Axis from over-running Moscow and Calcutta but that’s all, only a chance. With no Sealion Middle Earth helps to even out the odds. With Sealion the Allies take the advantage. That’s what I have found so far.
Follow the money?!

Should Berlin take Moscow, and then French troops take Berlin (while Paris is still occupied by Germany), who gets to keep all the money?
Almost had a scenario like this, so thought I’d ask.
-
No one, Mein Herr.
-
That is correct, the French would not know what to do with so much money
-
France would get to keep the money, but they wouldn’t be able to spend it until Paris was liberated.
-
Apologies Mein Herr: Chocolate Pancake is right and I am not.
Chocolate pancake: thank you.France keeps the money (and can’t spend until Paris is recaptured).

But thought only Power that can keep its money although occupied was China….

This is what happens when you capture an enemy capital while your own capital is under enemy’s control:

…
You collect these IPCs even if your own capital is in enemy hands.
…This is what happens to China, when all Chinese territories are controlled by the enemy:
@rulebook:
… As a result, China does not have
a capital like other powers do. If all Chinese territories are
captured by Japan, China retains its unspent IPCs in hope
of liberation and does not give them to Japan.
