Hi all -

Global 1940 game.

France falls to Germany. Germany is the only real threat, Japan is largely irrelevant with how this game is playing out.

Later in the game, US liberates Normandy/Bordeaux.

Paris/France proper is still held by Germany.

Can the US upgrade the factory in Normandy to a major IC and keep control of it (until Paris is liberated, at which point it would become a French IC)? Thereby allowing the US to build 10 … or are they restricted to building 3?

The answer is very likely going to lead to which side wins the game, a game that has transpired over several months and several glasses of Scotch accompanied by perfectly clear ice. Major trash talking is at stake between our side and the other side. Please only provide answers that support my opinion, because the other side (who also reads this forum) is filled with a bunch of cheaters and hooligans.

@lincolnhawk I just used an online print company (Smartpress I think?) and had it printed on vinyl, to a size that fit my table.

Here’s a link to how it came out - could not be happier with the result.

For purposes of Axis building an IC, is it safe to say Australia - specifically West Australia - is not an island and a minor IC can be built there? @Panther we need your guidance!
And Adam, I know you’re gonna see this … I’m coming for ya.

From what I can tell, Great Britain, Australia - surrounded by water but since they aren’t a single territory (like Phillipines), they aren’t islands and can indeed build IC’s. That’s my interpretation…?

@barnee Yep let me figure out how to upload and I will. The table is by WMHomestead. I did quite a bit of research and they seemed to be the right balance between cost and customization - size, stain, accessories,etc. The lighting is an LED strip that goes around the entire inside, and you can change to any color. Definitely changes the game when I get angry about bad rolling, I can turn the light red.:)

@barnee Can’t IC’s be built on any non-island territory, they just can’t be upgraded to majors unless they’re value 3+?

*** nevermind, I see the rule now. Thanks!!!
