+5 IPP for America if Italy attacks Free France?

If you read the top of page 11 you will see there is a new rule for V3 where you cannot combat move through a canal as you proposed. The example they give is exactly what you were talking about. You can still choose to do it the old way but either way that is one of the things you should have all of the players to agree to before the game begins. We always play it the new way.

@david-06 2 partisans as their action can combine into a militia and make an attack on a territory.

FAQ has been updated.

Q: Can two nations that share turns attack the same land zone if they are

forbidden to attack together per 6.1 (i.e. USA and minor power KMT)?

A: No.

Of course this doesn’t solve the issue of say, vichy france and Germany attacking the same free french zone, as thats not forbidden in 6.1 (as far as i can tell)

Not only is it not prohibited, it is made possible by the rules.

The Free France NRS (v3.2) states: “Free France is a Minor Power formed on the surrender of France. It is at war with all nations France was at war with.”

In addition, since the Axis can declare war on any nation, even Italy or Japan may attack Free France if they were not already at war with France.

Huh, I have no idea how that was missed before! I think I must have just seen capture and always stopped there. I’ll see if I can delete this post!

Yeah I can’t wait. I pitched the War of 41! and they changed some things about it but it got in none the less.

@Boardgame-Medic I’ll start by saying I am not fully versed in the V3 beta rules just yet. But, if it plays like V2 and, as you mention AA1940, your attack would not be possible in the way you mention. The aircraft themselves need to have the movement points to get there and then safely land somewhere. And of course, your planes can’t even reach SZ64 from SZ56.

I’m also pretty sure planes in SZ99 couldn’t reach either. I think that is also 5 movement points away. But again, I do not yet have the V3 map. I’m just looking at the version that can be viewed on HBG’s website. It’s quite possible the final product is a bit different, or I’m having a hard time seeing the movement!

I know. I said that if being at war with Abyssinia meant that Italy was at “war” and therefore received their “wartime income”, THEN Italy would have no incentive to attack. Because if they attacked and won then they would cease to be at “war” and would go back down to “peacetime income”. To counter this, I assume the creator made the rule that one must be at war with a Major Power to receive “wartime income”.

I believe “wartime income” should be changed to “Total Mobilization”, or “Total War Economy”, or something of the sort as to avoid confusion.

Heck, perhaps there should be three levels of income. Peacetime (limited troop types can be built), wartime (all troops can be built but you’re not at total war and don’t yet receive “wartime economy” or what I proposed to be “Total War Economy” income bonuses), and “Total War Economy” (you can build anything and receive wartime bonus income).
