Repairing Capital Ships While Your Capital Is Occupied

@Krieghund:

Yes.  That’s why you can’t lose IPCs to convoy raids if you don’t collect income.

I was asking because the way you worded your reply up there seems to mean that convoy disruptions also affect IPCs earned from capturing a capital.

Well, the bottom line seems to be, dont lose your capital.

No, I simply meant that the only way you can have IPCs if your capital has been captured is if you subsequently capture someone else’s capital.

Sound advice!

Repair happens in the turn of the player who owns the base, not the ship, right?  So capital-less ships can still be repaired in allied bases, right?

No, repairs occur in the turn of the ships’ owner.

@Krieghund:

No, repairs occur in the turn of the ships’ owner.

So lets say a UK Battleship and a US Battleship is in seazone 37 outside Malaya, wich happens to have a UK port, and both battleships have one damage each. If India belong to Japan, then the UK Battleship can not be repaired, but only the US Battleship can be repaired. I love this rule. If UK is short of cash (their capital gone) they get no fix. And the one who put the money on the table, make the local labours at the port do some good.

Is that right?  Does US get repaired?  It seems like it, judging by Krieg’s answer to my question???

A UK NB (w/UK capital captured) can repair a US ship, but not a UK ship, that just sounds weird to me  :?. They either have the parts & man power, or they don’t. This sounds like a glitch that just didn’t come up in testing. Its not like the US took over the base, and brought in their own people and supplies. I could see if you had to pay for repairs (don’t have $), but that’s not the case, repairs are free. I could follow no repairs can be made at UK NB period, while UK capital is captured (unless the base is liberated). This might make sense due to the UK not being able to supply parts, or man power. I don’t follow the pick and choose though.

Yeah, it seems odd.
