When powers without capitals capture each others territories.

Oh, awesome. We thought you had to own the base. That actually makes a lot more sense as far as realism goes.

the sub can do another fight in another sea zone

No, it may not.

By the way, make sure every nation receives their income at the end of their own turn (not all simultaniously after a complete gameround).

@jim010:

Krieghund,

The rules say:

The original controller of the capital is still in the game but can’t collect income from any territories he or she still controls and can’t buy new units.

It doesn’t mention bonus $.  Can bonus $ still be collected?

Calvinhobbesliker is correct.

@WILD:

Whats the ruling on your other NB/AB if you lose your capital. I see you noted can’t repair your own ships (skip that phase), but will your other NB’s still repair your allies ships? Also do you and your allies still get the +1 movement from your other AB & NB, if you have lost your capital.

My thought is that your AB/NB in other tt are still 100% functional as long as they are not damaged (you won’t be able to fix them). They still get +1 as far as movement (for all powers on your side), and can still repair allied ships (yours can’t be repaired as noted above),

Your thought is correct.

@Driel310:

They would need to take over Gibraltar first and then sail through the big Atlantic…… Not sure if they can pull this off before the USA kicks them out.

I know it’ll never happen. I just wanted to know for fun

Easy, the game start after the Dunkirk evacuation and after the French navy was scuttled. There is no other way to do it.

The game does start after Dunkirk.

However, whether the French are “well represented” or not….they are finished after 1 round. If Germany doesnt do that, then this would be a QUICK allied victory.

I did some research last night and found out that the if the French are in control of their country at the start of the game … then the French Navy MUST still be “alive”.

The game starts befor the fall of France. This still leaves reasonable assumption that Dunkirk has happened (May 24-26 1940). French resistance ended on June 25. The British bombardment of the French Fleet at Mers-el-Kebir  happened on July 4 (70 years ago tomorrow, interstingly enough).

Based on this information, French ships should still be present at the start of the game. They cannot say the game starts after Dunkirk AND the scuttling of the French Fleet. It is impossible because France is autonomous at the start of the game. I for one hope that France has ships and something can be done with them. Either the French person keeps them, the British can sink them or the Germans can use them, I don’t care. As long as they are there.

Actually, that was on the 3rd of July

Oh my mistake… so 70 years ago today. The book I got the information from said July 4.

As I said, the only time this would be good is if Russia holds all its territories and is about to attack Germany, and so Japan captures 1 territory to stop them.
