British Convoy Income at Start of Game?

Yes i really miss all of the unique  rules these older games had to offer. Like the j1 kill everything rules, or the allies paying for oil rule in europe. Convoying was wayyy beter in these games, but the problem i have with it is that its not an attack. Maybe we should have the ships roll dice and whenever they hit, the other player loses money, ON THE TURN OF THE AGGRESOR! The problem i have is that by the time its the enemies turn, they have destroyed  you fleet that was blockading you convoy. Having it be an attack would fix so many issues when it comes to convoying.

OK sounds like a plan. After the tournament though.

Thanks a lot!

Its excatly how I have played the game so far, I just had my doubts because the rules aren’t very clear on this subject!

Hey,if you like the trays that are all sorted out,that’s fine. :) I personaly use and like the black tray that comes with the game because it helps save space on your table.

ENDGAME

Once victory is achieved on a board, there is no more combat movement or resolve combat on that board. The victor keeps control and remains getting IPC’s for all territories gained. He also regains control for territories he owned at the beginning OF THE GAME. Also you may now non combat move into enemy owned territories and sea zones leaving mixed forces, for example if Japan won the Pacific game a American battleship and Japanese battleship may share a sea zone and do not ever resolve combat. You cannot non-combat move onto an enemy capital after a game is completed for that board. Example, Japan cannot drop of troops on United States or New South Wales. However if you took the enemy capital to win the game you keep control of it and the original owner and his allies may not non-combat move into it.

ya, i read it in the manual a little after I posted the question…and I figured uit out, but thanks for the help. Oh ya, my games are kinda likke that, (I read the manual every turn heh)
thanks :D

Whenever the British player collects his income he will get 12 IPCs from his convoys (if he controls all of them) as soon as this is collected it must be given to or split between Australia and India. These 12 IPCs are also given at the begining of the game with the starting income at which point the British player must dispurse the money between the two powers as he sees fit.

Well, are you talking about Convoy centres or convoy routes? If you mean Convoy centres then they aren’t really Australian, they’re british and you divide the money between India and Australia how you see fit when you collect it. If you mean convoy routes then the income from the island or territory it is adjacent to is subtracted from the appropriate country’s income. You can learn all about both centres and routes on p. 22. happy playing.
