Convoy Question

@dustpan8761 said in Question on IPC Middle East in Europe edition:

When playing axis and allies Europe do the allies get any IPCs per turn for the Middle East?

They do not. The printed value on the territories apply only when/if Germany captures them in which case the Allies must decide who pays Germany that number of IPCs. The relevant rule is on page 19/20 of the Europe rulebook.

Specifically, the “note” on page 20 reads, “The loss of Middle Eastern countries does not lower the Allied players’ income on the chart.”

The Middle East is strictly a liability to the Allies in this game.

Thank you!

im pretty sure that fighters can defend against any planes during a SBR, bombers being escorted or not. as Mantlefan says, otherwise that would make no sense.

@Grigoriy:

IMO, the game is unbalanced towards the Allies, however, I’ve seen the Germans win a time or two, and they come close most of the time, even though most doesn’t cut it.

Yes, “most, sometimes, maybe, long-shot” doesn’t cut it. This game should make players want to play both sides just for a change. Though I always choose Axis, perhaps I’ll start playing as the Allies as I’d like to win a few…

The rule book answers that question. Subs can be sunk at any time they just chose to run instead of fight back after being fired upon

Yes, a sub moving through a convoy zone is like a tank blitzing an open territory and then into a battle.
Ya know what I’m saying?

I think I answered this for him already. :-?

see pg 21 of the rule book:
“AA guns in a captured territory may not be moved in the same turn that the territory is captured”
