How does a power get eliminated from the game. I assume it is when all of their land territories have been lost. Am I correct in this assumption?

The reason why I posted this in the first place is that I am writing an Android app to keep track of IPCs and needed to know when to skip a player that might have been eliminated from the game. With the response that I received from Panther the program determines if the the Power has any IPCs and if not it goes to the Combat phase bypassing the Purchase phase.

Panther, thanks that explains another question I had concerning if when a power looses its capital does the IPCs of the territories it still holds go into some kind of escrow until the capital is liberated. So you skip the Income Phase for that power and record 0 IPCs. Good to know.

We had a disagreement after UK Europe’s capital has fallen. Can any units that came from UK Europe hook up with units from UK Pacific and be under UK Pacific’s control? To me it only seems logical that they can but I couldn’t argue that for sure.

@shadowhawk Yes but it is just one click and a confirmation in the app. The database select does all of the work.

@shadowhawk Just got done writing an Android app to keep track of all the IPCs that a Power should get. We got sick and tired and also a waste of time in determining how many IPCs one gets at the end of a turn.

The above response is what I was referring to where after you cleared that up I acknowledged that they get 0 IPCs. You must’nt have read this before your last responses.

Anyway and again thank you for all of this information.

And that is what I said in an earlier post.

Meaning that they accumulate IPCs even when their capital is overrunned. So no IPCs for the vanquished!
