Destroyer able to blockade two land territories from one sea zone?

@marshmallowofwar thanks to both you and @AndrewAAGamer for clarifying. Thought I had a sneaky way to slow him down, but will have to give it some more thought!

@Ruanek:

I could have sworn the UK could occupy French Indo-China to get its 2 IPCs.  And occupying territories controlled by powers whose capital is taken is similar in the concept for occupying the Dutch East Indies.

Nope.  Dutch territories are a special case.

@Ruanek:

In any case, what’s the logic behind not being able to occupy friendly territories whose capital is taken but being able to do it after liberating it from the enemy?

What Gargantua said.  Also, it’s not nice to kick your friends when they’re down and plunder their territories.  Besides, what if there are still units belonging to your ally in the territory?  Will they just let you walk in and take over?

The classic battle board is the only good one and they should have made them all like that.

UK/ANZAC has a special agreement with the Dutch government in exile that allows them to take control (“guardianship”) of Dutch territories that are still under original (Dutch) control.  This rule does not apply to any other territories.

If this seems counter-intuitive, bear in mind that Holland is not a power in the game.  Other non-neutral territories all belong to powers.  The Dutch territories are treated in a unique way because of this.

Thanks.

I thought so, just didn’t recall it being stated explicitly, but then you can’t detail everything.

Overall, excellent rulebook for AAE40.

As some players have said, the problem is not with the land territories, but with naval units.

Anyway AA is a working project and that is what fascinates me the most. Fauls tend to be corrected in future versions.

In a future map perhaps that aligment could be fixed and maybe Pacific and Atlantic could be wider.

I don’t think there will be any Cdn Army units on the Pacific side.
Canada was totally KGF.

@xzorn:

Having a fleet, planes and a few trannies in the Baltic lets you threaten Britain and Russia, while defending your Scandinavian holdings. Brits will have to be wary of an attack and waste precious resources in anticipation. And if he does, simply use the fleet, airforce and trannies on other things.

So just the threat of Sea Lion is good enough.
