I think it’s:
1)Yes
2)No
3)No
4)Yes
You’re right, whether using the box rules or LHTR. Taking a power’s IPCs by taking their capital is not income, so you can collect it even if your capital is held by the enemy.
Surrender-the defender may surrender all of his troops to the enemy before each round of combat. The remaining infantry have a movement of 1 under the enemies control during non-combat movement. If you capture a territory where your prisoners are or prisoners from your team they are freed and remain in that territory. All armour or artillery are taken from the board and replaced with the capturers pieces. Fighters and bombers may now retreat at any time to a friendly country.
what do you think?
i think this rule is needlessly confusing because it’s not that beneficial or realistic for going through the added hassle of keeping enemy units on the board as prisoners. i also think this topic should be moved to house rules forum.
