@gamerman01:
You can march ground units from Eire to Scotland to UK, all without boats?? Really?
Krieghund, when you replied “yes” I think it was to this question.
I can’t get over this one. Why in the world can you walk from Eire to Scotland (the part of Scotland that’s on the same island as the UK)? This is a significant gameplay issue, if Germany can land ground troops 2 land spaces away from London.
It is a 21 mile wide strait, no different from the English Channel or other straits in the game (Turkish, Gibraltar, etc).
You can’t walk across the English Channel or the Turkish straits, or from North Africa to Gibraltar. In 1940, was it possible to transfer massive amounts of troops and tanks across the North Channel?
Or are we just going to pretend, for gameplay reasons? The boardgame map has a UK roundel connecting Scotland across the strait. You do know there’s not land under it, right? :-)
