    The Axis powers have not won the game before the end of round 12 when America develops nuclear technology

    NEUTRAL TERRITORIES & NEUTRAL BLOCKS

    PRODUCTION ON NEUTRAL TERRITORIES

    • Minor Factories are the only Production facility allowed on neutral territories regardless of territory value

    CLAIMING STANDING ARMIES

    • Any land unit may claim a pro-neutral’s standing army, however, an air transport may land on a pro-neutral territory and claim the standing army if carrying at least one regular infantry or elite infantry ON it.
      NAVAL PORTS ON NEUTRAL TERRITORIES

    • Nations at war may use naval bases on neutral territories during one turn for a payment due during the purchase new units phase. Use of the base includes repairs to capital chips and increased movement.

    Strict neutral naval base rental costs - 6 IPCs = repairs and increased movement for up to 3 ships
    Pro neutral naval base rental costs - 3 IPCs = repairs and increased movement for up to 3 ships
    Friendly naval base rental costs - 0 IPCs = repairs and increased movement for up to 3 ships
    Nation owned naval base rental costs - 0 IPCs = repairs and increased movement for unlimited ships

    NEUTRAL BLOCKS

    BLOCK #1 - SOUTH AMERICA

    If an Allied power attacks any strict neutral territory in South America, all remaining standing armies in South America (including pro-axis neutrals) and the territories they’re on, become German.

    If an Axis power attacks any strict neutral territory in South America, all remaining standing armies in South America (including pro-allied neutrals) and the territories they’re on, become American.

    BLOCK#2 - EUROPE, AFRICA, & THE MIDDLE EAST

    If an Allied power attacks any strict neutral territory in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East, all remaining standing armies in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East (including pro-axis neutrals) and the territories they’re on, become German.

    If an Axis power attacks any strict neutral territory in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East, all remaining standing armies in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East (including pro-allied neutrals) and the territories they’re on, become British.

    BLOCK #3 - MONGOLIA

    If an Allied power attacks any strict neutral territory in Mongolia, all remaining standing armies in Mongolia and the territories they’re on, become Japanese.
    If an Axis power attacks any strict neutral territory in Mongolia, all remaining standing armies in Mongolia and the territories they’re on, become Russian.

    **NEUTRAL NATIONS: NOT AT WAR

    THE SOVIET UNION:
    Unless at war with a European Axis power, Russia may not collect for national objectives, collect for oil tankers, recruit conscripts from rail stations, use engineer tokens, use patron tokens, or move into neutral territories.

    THE UNITED STATES:
    Unless at war with an Axis power, The United States may not collect for national objectives, collect for oil tankers, recruit conscripts from rail stations, use patron tokens, or move into neutral territories.

    THE PACIFIC ALLIES:
    Unless at war with Japan, United Kingdom Pacific, and Commonwealth ANZAC may not collect for national objectives, collect for oil tankers, recruit conscripts from rail stations, use patron tokens, or move into neutral territories. However, oil derricks under UK Pacific control will count for increasing oil tankers which UK Europe may collect for.

    JAPAN:

    GERMANY (BERLIN)

    • If Germany loses their capital, they must relinquish all cash on hand to the nation that now controls it, and they may not collect income again until Berlin has been liberated

    JAPAN (TOKYO)

    • If Japan loses their capital, they must relinquish all cash on hand to the nation that now controls it, and they may not collect income again until Tokyo has been liberated

    SOVIET UNION (MOSCOW)

    • If Russia loses their capital, they must relinquish all cash on hand to the nation that now controls it, and must immediately declare a new capital territory with a production facility on it. If all production facilities are in enemy hands, Russia may not collect income again until Moscow is liberated. If a new capital has been established (which will be the last Russian capital) and it becomes enemy occupied, Russia may not collect income again until it is liberated.

    UNITED STATES (WASHINGTON)

    • If United States loses Washington, they must relinquish all cash on hand to the nation that now controls it, and San Francisco becomes the lone capital city allowing America to continue collecting income

    UNITED STATES (SAN FRANCISCO)

    UNITED KINGDOM (LONDON)

    • If United Kingdom Europe loses their capital, they must relinquish all cash on hand to the nation that now controls it, and all UK Europe territories now belong to Canada (UK pieces on board remain British). Any originally controlled UK Europe territory which gets liberated after exile (including London) is now absorbed into the Canadian economy.

    UNITED KINGDOM (CALCUTTA)

    • If United Kingdom Pacific loses their capital, they must relinquish all cash on hand to the nation that now controls it, and all UK Pacific territories now belong to ANZAC (UK pieces on board remain British). Any originally controlled UK Pacific territory which gets liberated after exile (including Calcutta) is now absorbed into the Australian economy.

    ITALY (ROME)

    • If Italy loses their capital, the Italian puppet government of the Italian Social Republic is established, however, only if Northern Italy is not Allied controlled. If the puppet government is triggered, then Northern Italy and all Italian units on the board immediately become German. It won’t matter if an Axis nation liberates Rome, Northern Italy will remain the new capital and all units remain German.

    • Each sea zone with at least one Italian ship are rolled for between the German player and the Allied player which now occupies Rome. If Germany rolls highest for a sea zone, the Italian ship or ships in that sea zone will immediately become German. If the Allied player rolls highest for a sea zone, the Italian ship or ships are immediately removed from the board.

    • Each Italian controlled territory is rolled for between the German player and the Allied player which now occupies Rome. If Germany rolls highest for a territory, the territory and any Italian units (including facilities) will immediately become German. If the allied player rolls highest for a territory, the territory remains Italian with it’s value in limbo. Also, any Italian units within an Allied won Italian territory are immediately removed from the board, and all facilities are max damaged.

    COMMONWEALTH CANADA (OTTAWA)

    • If Canada loses their capital, they must relinquish all cash on hand to the nation that now controls it, and they may not collect income again until Ottawa has been liberated
    • If Canada loses their capital while in control of the UK Europe economy, the UK must remove all British units on the Europe map
    • If both London and Ottawa are under enemy control, then UK Europe and Canada may not collect an income again until Ottawa is liberated

    COMMONWEALTH ANZAC (SYDNEY)

    • If ANZAC loses their capital, they must relinquish all cash on hand to the nation that now controls it, and they may not collect income again until Sydney has been liberated
    • If ANZAC loses their capital while in control of the UK Pacific economy, the UK must remove all British units on the Pacific map
    • If both Calcutta and Sydney are under enemy control, then the UK Pacific and ANZAC may not collect an income again until Sydney is liberated

    FRANCE (PARIS)

    • If France loses their capital, they must relinquish all cash on hand to the nation that now controls it, Vichy rules are immediately in effect, and they may not collect income again until Paris has been liberated

If Paris has not fallen or one of either Southern France or French Indo-China has been attacked before the first special missions phase at the end of turn 1, than all French territories and units become free French.
    • Once Paris falls and becomes occupied by an Axis power, Southern France becomes Vichy, along with all other French units, territories and occupied sea zones on the board (except those units in A-18, London, Normandy, and French Equatorial Africa which remain “Free French”).
    • During each Special Missions Phase, eligible nations will participate to “Resolve Vichy” by rolling a sequence of dice in the following turn order.

    1. Japan
    2. United Kingdom
    3. Italy
    4. Free French
    5. Germany

    1. JAPAN

    2. UNITED KINGDOM
    UK may attempt to destroy all Vichy sea units on the board by rolling 1 die @3 per sea zone in the following order… A-24, M-1, and 1-12. A successful roll for any sea zone will immediately destroy the Vichy ships there in.

    3. ITALY
    Italy may attempt to control certain Vichy units and territories by rolling 1 die @1 per territory in the following order… Corsica, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Syria.

    4. FREE FRANCE
    Free French may attempt to control Vichy units and territories by rolling 1 die @1 per territory and sea zone in the following order… A-24, M-1, & I-12, Corsica, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, FWA, FCA, Syria, Madagascar, FIC.

    5. GERMANY
    Germany may attempt to control Vichy units and territories by rolling 1 die @3 per territory and sea zone in the following order… A-24, M-1, & I-12, Corsica, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, FWA, FCA, Syria, Madagascar.

    Resolving the fate of Vichy Southern France: During the 3rd Special Missions phase after the resolve Vichy rolls, the following formula will be used to determine Southern France’s fate.

    Determine who had turned the most Vichy Territories to their side

    -If the Axis turned the most Vichy Territories to their side, then all units within Southern France (except the minor factory and the naval base) come off the board leaving the territory empty.
    -If Free French turned the most Vichy Territories to their side (including all Vichy territories not turned by the Axis at this point), then all units within Southern France become Free French

    Attacking Vichy territories and/or units:

    • If an Allied power attacks a Vichy territory before Southern France is resolved, than all remaining Vichy territories and units become German (except FIC which will become Japanese)
    • If an Axis power attacks a Vichy territory before Southern France is resolved, than all remaining Vichy territories and units become free French

    #3. CONVOY RAIDS
    Look for any single warship in any Convoy zone, if there is an adjacent territory controlled by a nation at war with that warship, the nation controlling the territory must surrender 3 IPC’s to the bank. Multiple warships in any given convoy zone does not increase this 3 IPC limit, however, If multiple enemy nations own territories adjacent to one convoy zone being raided, they must all surrender 3 IPCs to the bank. Also, If Nova Scotia and London are Allied controlled, Axis warship occupation of an “open sea” Atlantic convoy zone will raid UK Europe for 6 IPCs each.

    #4. COASTAL DEFENSES
    Look for large naval fleets with 3 or more sea units (not including transports) in sea zones adjacent to operational enemy bunkers. Resolve coastal defense systems targeting those fleets by rolling 3@1 for a minor bunker, and 6 @1 for a major bunker. Each one rolled immediately destroys or damages that many ships. A bunker on a territory adjacent to multiple sea zones may only target 1 fleet per missions phase (the nation controlling the bunker chooses the fleet they wish to target). Also, only nations at war may resolve coastal defenses (Russia must be at war with a European Axis power)

    #5. BOMBING RAIDS

    Determine Initiative: A player from each side must roll an 8 sided dice, the side with the highest result chooses which side will conduct all their bombing raids first. Once completed… the remaining side will then conduct all their bombing raids.

    Super Fortress Bombers, Strategic Bombers and Tactical Bombers may be used to conduct strategic bombing campaigns to damage enemy facilities of their choice by deploying designated aircraft to enemy territories with eligible facilities. Any aircraft that were designated for future missions and have remained designated leading into the strategic missions phase may participate in bombing raids. Also, fighters that are grounded on territories being bombed do not need to be designated in order to intercept. However, just because air units were designated to perform raids does not mean they must do so… a nation may pass and stand down from any mission assignment.

    Designated fighters may be used only once during a strategic missions phase as either an interceptor or an escort by using dog fight values for 1 combat round. Escort fighters must be assigned to bombing air formations before interceptors are deployed. Any strategic bomber, or tactical bomber that survives both the dog fight round, and the built in AA Gun barrage will apply damage to eligible facilities of their choice using the following chart.

    Super Fortress Bombers: May bomb any facility to apply an automatic 6 points of damage
    Strategic Bombers: May bomb any facility to apply an automatic 4 points of damage
    Tactical Bombers: May bomb any tactical facility or minor factory to apply an automatic 2 points of damage

    #6. SHORE BOMBARDMENTS

    Determine Initiative: A player from each side must roll an 8 sided dice, the side with the highest result chooses which side will conduct all their shore bombardments first. Once completed… the remaining side will then conduct all their shore bombardments last.

    Super Battleships, Battleships, and/or Cruisers that are adjacent to enemy territories may be used to conduct shore bombardment campaigns to damage enemy facilities of their choice. Any designated naval fleet containing the fore mentioned ships and within an eligible sea zone, may participate in shore bombardments. Also, fighters that are stationed on aircraft carriers within the fleet conducting the bombardments do not need to be designated in order to escort the fleet. However, just because a naval fleets are designated to perform bombardments does not mean they must do so… a nation may pass and stand down from any mission assignment.

    Designated fighters may be used only once during a strategic missions phase as either an interceptor or an escort by using dog fight values for 1 combat round. Escort fighters must be assigned to bombarding naval fleets before interceptors are deployed. Any bombarding cruiser or battleship may use their air cover values during 1 combat round of dog fighting if engaged by enemy interceptors. Any ships that survive the dog fight round will apply damage to eligible facilities of their choice using the following chart.

    Super Battleships: May bombard any adjacent facility to apply an automatic 5 points of damage
    Battleships: May bombard any adjacent facility to apply an automatic 4 points of damage
    Cruisers: May bombard any adjacent tactical facility to apply an automatic 2 points of damage

    #7. KAMIKAZE RAIDS
    Look for all kamikaze sea zones occupied by Allied surface warships (must be at war with Japan). Japan may use their kamikaze tokens (up to 3 per kamikaze zone) to damage or destroy surface warships of their choice. Each assigned token will roll @3 or less dealing a hit to ships being raided. However, carrier based aircraft or air units eligible to scramble may attempt to block the raid. During this 1 round air battle in which Allied planes intercept kamikaze pilots, Tactical Bombers hit 1@1, and Fighters hit 1@2 (WW1 planes may not intercept). The Japanese begin the game with 15 kamikaze tokens total, casualties from enemy aircraft are removed by Japan, and kamikaze tokens get zero defense during the 1 round air battle.

    #8. PARTISAN RAIDS
    Look for all originally controlled Allied territories now occupied by the Axis with at least one facility on it (not including Islands). The Allies may use their partisan tokens (up to 3 per occupied territory) to damage one or more facilities of their choice. Each assigned token will roll @3 or less dealing 3 points of damage for each successful token on their targeted facility. However, facilities under attack may use their built in security to roll 1@1 in order to block the raid, and elite infantry stationed within the territory will each receive a 1@2 to avoid sabotage. The Allies begin the game with 15 partisan tokens total, casualties from elite infantry are removed by the Allies, and partisan tokens get zero defense during all block attempts. Also, only nations at war may use partisan tokens (Russia must be at war with a European Axis power)

    #9. TRANSPORT RE-ASSIGNMENT
    Any number of air or sea transport units (including none), may be reassigned to a friendly nation during any special missions turn. Upon approval from the nation that currently controls them, transport units may be swapped out and controlled by the friendly nation of their choice. However, only sea transports adjacent to a friendly naval base, and air transports landed on a friendly air base may be reassigned during the special missions phase. Also, only nations at war may participate in reassigning sea transports (Russia must be at war with a European Axis power)
