Axis & allies Europe printable map

@dustpan8761 said in Question on IPC Middle East in Europe edition:

When playing axis and allies Europe do the allies get any IPCs per turn for the Middle East?

They do not. The printed value on the territories apply only when/if Germany captures them in which case the Allies must decide who pays Germany that number of IPCs. The relevant rule is on page 19/20 of the Europe rulebook.

Specifically, the “note” on page 20 reads, “The loss of Middle Eastern countries does not lower the Allied players’ income on the chart.”

The Middle East is strictly a liability to the Allies in this game.

“Europe 1999 is not a very balanced game, but …”

Thats awesome!  Glad I could help.  I definitely agree, having an AC in the Atlantic really brings a new dimension to the game, instead of having 20 DD scattered throughout the board.  That Canadian IC is really useful in the early stages of an AAE game.

why would we need another one…?

someone mentioned having to capture both axis capitals.
it wouldn’t make it much different because the capture of germany will pretty much end the game anyways, and if only italy is captured, the germans will retake it.

xxstefanx, this move frees your med fleet for the atlantic theater.
There are three difficulties:

It is a horrible feeling losing one or two fighters. One is the average. :cry: The destroyer has to move with the btls to gibraltar. The UK may land fighters here after a 2 fig 1 bomb attack on a lone btls Malta has to be taken. With only one transport and without any bombardment this is a tight fight. Should it be lost the trans will be sunk.

Solution? Spend 20 ipc for 1 trans 1 des on T1, skip malta, take Gibraltar and have a turbo supply tube of 1 des 2 trans which this lonely, pesky fighter cannot attack.

You have to follow history atleast slightly. Pull all russia forces back to your cities and if that wont hold think of puting every man in moscow. That is an incredible amount of defense. It is also key that america and the UK take the sea and put pressure on Germany so they cant devote all their forces and money to killing russia. They might even want to consider shiping planes over that russia can take control of. 8 planes in moscow with a role of 4 or less is incredible defense against tanks. If the Germans are going after russia full force just pull back to moscow and let US and UK take the covoys back, supply troops, and put pressure on Germany. If Germany always wins it is because the people playing US and UK suck at the game.

Dear ANON long post (if you are still out thar),
What UK,US & SOV players would allow a GER AC to survive in the Baltic SZ after UK1, US1, or SOV2? This GER build would allow for a massive SOV INF overload that the German player could not beat.
