Multi-National Question

You should watch some of Adam’s Germany plans in League games.  He has some nefarious orders including bringing the fleet around into the Med to prevent subs from convoy raiding.  The small fleet is also sufficient to take Gibraltar on the journey there.  Other people use a limited Axis fleet to convoy raid the UK.

After G1, focus on taking Moscow or heading to the oilfields.  The time is ticking to get the Axis income close to the Allied income.  I have seen too many people lose as Axis because Germany gets in a fleet building competition with the United States.

Thanks!
I only looked in the sections of AAA-guns and Neutrals, obviously  :roll:.

calcutta is supposed to fall anyway, who cares.

The Russian NO deals with originally pro-Axis territories, so true neutrals that switch do not count.

Japan sitting off of Hawaii is fine; there is a sea zone between SZ 26 and SZ 10.

My gaming group instituted a house rule on the Soviet NO.  The Soviet Union can get the IPCs for any Neutral territory on the European Mainland ONLY if the Axis powers occupied that territory first.  In other words, they would have to take it from Germany or Italy.

We did this because we didn’t like the idea of the Soviets simply walking into someplace like pro-Allied Greece and getting 4 free infantry, 2 IPCs for the territory and the NO on top of it.  Also, we didn’t like the idea that the Soviets could attack a strict Neutral, like Turkey or Sweeden, and get an NO bonus for it while turning all other strict Neutrals pro-Axis, which could make things harder on US and UK.

@WILD:

I think that if the the allies were allowed to just NCM in to take control of a fallen allied powers tt’s (collect the income) it would swing to much income to the allies and break the game. Plus if your getting paid for all those tt’s why would you Liberate your former allies capital (kinda like how Paris is now). It is better to leave things as they are and they only get paid if they liberate them from the enemy. That makes a pretty good cat & mouse game of how much tt the axis want to take vs how many of them they will be able to hold later on.

If that were the case, then I feel the Axis original TTs should be worth double to Axis powers only.  Sort of like the Russian NO, but reversed.  But yes, I concur with your analysis, in-so-much in regard to Dutch/Netherlands.

I always viewed that rule as a way to not automatically give the income to England but not deny it to Japan either.  It really only plays in the Pacific campaign, as your only chance to get the income is to invest enough to push Japan out (otherwise, Japan will crush any resistance and take it.)

Thanks!

Ozteas 1941 is well reviewed. If you’re comfortable with some players being at peace at the start, that is also worth a look. Starts like round 3 of 1940.

Although if you prefer the simplicity of everyone fighting right away, go to g42!
