UK collects the unspent IPCs of the Germany’s player, then, even if its own capital is in enemy’s hands. See page 21 of the Europe 1940.2 rulebook.
Axis IC in Norway?
-
hi there,
Any of you axis players consider placing a IC in Norway turn 1 Europe ed 2? my buddy and I have been trying out this strategy, it protects the German NO and allows fast troop and armor deployment into Leningrad. It does make for a juicy target for the US to try and take however, as well as strategic bombing raids from UK.

I think I’d rather have two transports in 112 or 113 instead of a minor in Norway. You can move more units with them and also use them to amphibious assault Novgorod from 115 or 127.

That two trannies can be sunk anytime, but a factory will always be there

Yeah, an American factory by turn 6.

Yes…the trannies could be sunk, probably not ANYTIME though. A destroyer and loaded airbase could be a deterrent for attacks on them.
If Germany want to build an IC in that region I feel Finland would be a better choice…or they could wait until the US builds one in Norway and take it from them. -
I liked the idea a while ago, but now no longer consider it. Many Russian players give you Novgorod, so Norway IC becomes redundant and too hard to guard against a determined US player.
I would rather IC Romania. -
I would rather have no new factories and unlimited non-combat rail movement.

By the time the US could build an IC in Norway, they should have naval superiority, and plenty of resources, especially w/Britains help. Not sure how they’d lose the IC, unless you really suck as a player.

Loaded AB (West Germany, 3 FGT) + DD + 2 X TT = 52 IPC. Considering that you already have the three FGT and one TT at the start of the game then DD + TT = 20 IPC. But your FGT and available TT are tied to the Baltic. No trip to the Med, Middle East, Africa or central Russia for them.
Minor IC = 12 IPC and that’s all. Better put it in Finland for better defense against amphibious assaults and closer proximity to Leningrad.
