@knp7765:
I have often thought that once France falls, the territories of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia should stay French units but become Pro-Axis Neutrals. So if the Allies want to land in any of these then they will still have to fight them
I love it, its smooth and brilliant and close to the real thing.
The universal HR rule would be like this >
1. When a Capital is captured, all land and air units that are alone in home territories, and lone naval units in seazones adjacent to home territories, will immediately become neutrals pro-the Occupier.
2. All land, air and naval units that share a space together with former allied units, or they are in an allied territory, will stay loyal to the former alliance.
This was true with France, the Allies had to amphibious assault French Morocco, and they had to sink the French Navy before the Germans could get it. Likewise, the Germans could non-combatmove into Syria and build an Airbase there, and Japan also non-combatmoved into French Indochina, and from there attacked the UK base at Singapore.
This is also true with Italy, when the Allies captured Rome, then all Italian units become pro-Allied neutrals, except the Italian units that shared space with German units.
I also believe that if Moscow was theoretically captured, then the surviving Russian units were likely to have become pro-Axis neutrals.
But I don’t know what would have happened if London got captured ?
But enough history, from a gaming point of view, a HR rule like this will really make you protect your Capitals……
