Convoy Question

@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.

Thanks a lot!
Now it’s clear!  :-D

Dang, there has been numerous times I go into a conflict only wanting to do a little damage and retreat out to save my tanks, because I don’t want them vulnerable in a newly acquired territory.  Thanks for the answer.

exactly thats why i sent my subs to do soem dirty work man the allies on west side = toast round 1 and 2 but then i need to take a chunk out of russia or round 3 im totally dead

add this to house rules maybe? i would if the russians in a group can take germns/hold the line then make germans better blitz capitals shouldnt b blitz though!

I don’t know the exact rules but on an SBR FTRs in the target territory may be sent up to engage the enemy BOMs and escort FTRs. Sending up interceptors is optional. If you do not do so only the AA guns that are in the target territory defend.

No other units in the target territory participate in the SBR. AA and FTRs if you choose.

Just play regularly with Germany first, then USSR, then Great Britain, then the USA for the whole game. That pattern never changes.

By circled territories do you mean Stalingrad, Leningrad, and Moscow? If so, they are circle shapes because they are cities, however you play them just like the regular territories.

Thank you for the clarification!
