The UK holds onto the money, until thier capital is liberated.
At which time, they can then spend it on their next turn, or the begginning of thier turn IF an ally of theirs liberated it.
I’d say taking out the UK med navy are must do attacks, as well as taking Karelia and Ukraine.
@Bunnies:
There are no fixed “must attacks” for G1.
Hitting the UK battleship/transport is often, but not always, one of the attacks Germany should do G1.
Why not always? Because something better might present itself.
West Russia… :evil:
ok then, but excluding some exploitable snafu for russia, does sz2 become a no brainer, or just a good option among others?

West Russia, Caucasus, and Russia, as opportunity presents.
The key is if you do not conduct SZ2 combat, UK could build a safe fleet in UK1 and start to harassing the north or west coast from UK2 with a BB bombardment.
And additionally the BB is a “get out of jail, free” card for naval battles. BB, AC +2ftr, 2xDD is 18 defense value and the first 3 hits will be 12 IPC still leaving 14 defense.
Just to match that defensive power Germany needs 2 Bombers, 2 fighters, 2 subs. And the first three hits reduce it to 11 attack.
To kill such a fleet, Germany needs to buy correctly, position correctly, and strike immediately when it gets the chance. And the heavy Luftwaffe purchases might leave the ground forces struggling vs. Russia.
