The KAR/CAU NO vs the "No US/UK in Russia" NO

  • 2007 AAR League

    I think it is interesting to see how several NO’s “overlap”, or are mutually exclusive (is proper english?)
    For example, if Allies take Fra, not only do they gain +10IPC in bonus income, they also deny Germany 5IPC in bonus income… :-o

    However, my question regard these two NO’s:

    Germany

    • Axis control of either of: Karelia S.S.R. or Caucasus = 5 IPCs

    Soviet Union

    • Allied control of Archangelsk + no UK or US units on Soviet-controlled territories= 5 IPCs

    Question:
    If KAR falls, would you be prepared to forfeit the Russian NO above, by liberating it with UK/US Troops.

    My own answer to that question would be a resounding YES. This it would be for two reasons:

    • You forfeit 5 IPC, to deny the enemy 5 IPC… (rather straightforward)
      but ALSO:
    • You deny the enemy the chance to build units directly on the front line

    It seems like a no-brainer to me. But maybe some else has some other take on this issue?


  • The bonuses countering each other stuff only works if germans cannot retake Kar, but if the target is not letting germans build at kar, I agree.
