@dazedwit Azores is part of Portugal, USA took over the island around 1942, rather seized it. I know strange. But they had no army so it was easy, Like Greenland

@Krieghund well there you go…

@Imperious-Leader The answer is simple. If you invade a true neutral, it and everyone else is now at war with you. it could be axis or allies. the side that now has more support merely has to get their land units in the nation and claim these soldiers as their own. What else?

G1: invade Yugoslavia and ping pong to Romania and leave Yugo for Italy.

Does this attack change the political situation in Yugoslavia from Friendly Allied Neutral to Allied At War Neutral?

Does this change in political situation allow for the fighter on Malta to land in Yugo turn one?

I feel like I read about this situation or saw it in a video but I can’t find this situation addressed in the rule book.

Thank you

What prompted this? i don’t recall posting in this section for a LONG TIME. Whats it in referenced from?

@DoManMacgee Great writeups! I watched the footage from your game on the BGN YouTube channel you mentioned, and was excited to find your side of the writeup (and your previous tournament games) here as well.

I remember reading long ago in caspian sub articles how critical it is to have a partner for tournament play like this; not necessarily to evenly share the strategic or decision-making load, but to do just the things you mention here; calculating, counting air movement, scanning for naked transports, fetching food/drinks, and being the ‘alarm’ and a second set of eyes. I’ll probably never play in a tournament myself, but when I saw you going solo on that video I gave an audible “Oooph” thinking about how many full games you probably had to play already, alone, just to reach the semis. I can’t believe you hit round 8 in one of your matches!

If you wanted a link to the YouTube video of your semi-final match, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc4EmCPKyTw. BGN recreates games with a physical board and good camera work, walking viewers through the moves and strategies as they play out. For some of the larger or more dramatic battles they will also switch over to footage from the actual match.

@Titus I really love the aesthetic you’ve come up with here and can’t wait to see the completed project

@Call77 looking great can’t wait to see it

+1 for Cairo as a VC to eliminate ties and to act as a proxy for that 10 IPCs of game-swinging Africa money. The controller of Cairo likely has (or will soon have) control of Suez and the rest of Africa as well, and would therefore be in good standing for the “IPC Income” tiebreaker that would be necessary if Cairo was not a victory city.

@Pellulo thanks Pellulo, which incidentally is how you used to end every post of thousands of posts
