@Baron:
I didn’t read everything about all the Halifax rules and the VC substitute for NO.
I think you are going in the right direction, although.
My 2 cents:
If Dominions needs a few more IPCs, just think about adding a VC to South Africa
And, maybe, just gives a little more IPCs to the capitals terrritories amongst the Dominions.
When I get around to customizing a new G40 Halifax map file, I would have no problem adding Johannesburg to South Africa… especially considering that it would bump the existing 19 VCs, to a nice rounded 20 total.
