Thank you for responding! Yes, America found this rule and lost a strategic bomber for it.

Here’s a thread with a few pages of people talking about this very thing, and then also a lot of blah blah blah about various house rules:

And here, specifically, was my take on the matter:

But yes, doing a “netural crush” definitely has its place in the game for both sides.

That’s what I thought.

The ICs become major the instant Italy declares war on the US, which is BEFORE it conducts combat. Thus, when Italy captures EUS, it has a major, which is immediately downgraded as per the “captured majors become minors” rule.

You could try this but I think you need to buy it  to increase the difficulty. The 2 games I played against the computer were terribly easy.  http://www.gametableonline.com/gameinfo.php?gid=35

Gibraltar is the only exception.

Thanks Krieghund.

Planing amphibious operations vs. the US-Player at the moment.  :-D
