@coachdcj Player 2 is correct. From the Official Rules Clarifications document (page 4):
You can never give an ally anything: units, territories or I.P.C.'s.
My a & a was working fine a couple days ago and now when i try to play i get the directplayt error. I think i have directx8.0 and i’ve tried all the fixes that i’ve read about on help sections (deleting or switching dplayx.dll file restarting too) this happened a couple months ago and i stopped playing when i tried again recently it worked till now. I have a cable and a firewall but i don’t think thats it. if anyone has any suggestions i’d appreciate it
Your firewall is probably the problem. Try searching for help under that.
