    ANNOUNCEMENT**

    United Kingdom Political Situation

    “Government in Exile” - (Delta+1 final version)

    Upon the first time London is captured by an Axis power:

    1. The British government must exile to Ottawa, Canada.
    2. All British IPCs (Europe) must be given to the axis power that now controls London.
    3. The United States and Soviet Union must immediately declare war on all axis powers (if not already), and become allies with the United kingdom.

    During exile:

    1. The UK may collect income from all territories (Europe) that are still under British control.
    2. The UK may only mobilize new units from ICs in Canada.

    After liberation:

    1. The UK government may return to London, and regain all privileges of their previous sovereignty, or choose to stay in Canada until London stabilizes (decision must be made at the end of the UK turn).
    2. If London falls a second time while the government is there, they may not exile again, and all income, purchasing, and placement rights are lost until another successful liberation has been achieved.

    Issues before Delta+2:

    1. Weather or not the UK in exile should continue to collect income from all territories remaining in British control, or just territories from Canada.


  • @Young:

    1. The UK government may return to London, and regain all privileges of their previous sovereignty, or choose to stay in Canada until London stabilizes (decision must be made at the end of the UK turn).

    oh?

    So why would UK decide to have London as capitol again while Canada is safer? (if they still collect the same amount of IPC’s)


  • The only advantage would be they could start mobilizing units at ICs outside Canada.

    @Vance:

    The only advantage would be they could start mobilizing units at ICs outside Canada.

    Which would be a biggie considering that they would have to build units there in order to strengthen its defenses, and guard from a second invasion.


  • and transports are expensive, so it would be worth it to move back to UK maybe the turn after liberation perhaps with reinforcements from USA maybe

    I think we have a good one, play testing before Delta+2 will tell a bigger story, but I like that this rule is relatively simple, condensed and won’t seem to contaminate other game mechanics.

    ah yes, i forgot about that. good.


  • Hey Vance or Jenn, could we post the agreed upon final ruleset as the last post in this thread and then lock it for quick reference later?


  • In Delta 1 the following section should be added to the “political situation”.

    UK Europe government in exile.

    The first time London is captured by an axis power, the capitol of UK Europe moves to Ottawa, Canada. The axis power that captures London seizes all IPCs currently held by UK Europe. The United States and Soviet union immediately join the Allies if they are not yet at war. Beginning at the Collect Income phase of its next turn, and as long as the UK government is in exile, it will collect income for all UK controlled territories on the Europe map. The government in exile may mobilize units only in Canadian industrial complexes.

    Once per game, at the Collect Income phase of a turn when the UK government is in exile and London has been liberated, the Government in exile may return to London; or it may choose to remain in Canada. When it returns to London, the UK Europe government will continue to collect income for all UK controlled territories on the Europe map and on the following turn it may mobilize units in any UK controlled industrial complex on the Europe map.
