Saudi Arabia. Because I use it to keep track of incomes on my battlemap.
What is the most USELESS unit/territory?

@Crazy:
SZ 26: don’t even know where the hell it is? :|
According to my Mapview version of Revised, this SZ is the south Atlantic, in the middle of South America or Africa (not South of Africa or South America)

I put Gibraltar. The only reason you could possibly need to go there is to land air units. But I don’t like the idea of landing air units without a security force to prevent high $$$ loss attacks.
I didn’t put Greenland b/c as Germany I use it to land BMR’s before a E Canada invasion.

@Crazy:
And if DF puts himself on this list, I will vote for him as well. Just because it would be funny :-P
Muhahahahahah….

:lol:
What the???
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Very well done, +1 karma to dF. -
You know, I’ve used all of those except Midway. Z26 is surprisingly handy for approaching Africa with a loaded Aussie transport depending on Axis bmr placement. Greenland can be useful in nutty games where the UK gets sacked.
Wake can be pivotal for KJF. Gibraltar is the lynchpin of the Med in the first couple rounds. SFE can be handy for stalling Japan or landing US troops in KJF. Crazy Ivan must be loved and cherished by SOMEONE.
But I have NEVER used the territory of Midway in any way, shape, or form.

I have to go with Greenland, mainly because I have never, ever, seen anyone use it and only seen it fall to the Axis when they were trying to demonstrate that the game was truly over.
Midway is almost as useless, but since it has an American infantryman on it, it’s not as useless (to me.) However, if I don’t ever recover that man, it is completely useless. hehe.
As for the Infantry in W. Canada, I used to use him as an Alaskan defender (stops Japan from just landing one guy there which technically/literally frees up the American infantry already stationed in Alaska from doing that duty.) But lately, I’ve been walking him to E. Canada and just holding off on moving that tank until later (especially if Germany sinks the transport in SZ 1) then I have a full transport worth of units in E. Canada ready to dump in Algeria or England.
After all, as you said, he’s almost never used, so why not put him where he might be used later?

I forgot about Gibraltar – Switch should know the value of that particular territory. :roll: :lol:

Wow another vote for me, WooHoo!!! -
Well first we have to eliminate the things that actually have a use. Anything that does damage or has a strategic value, however small, can be considered to have a use and therefore the sz15 DD, Gibraltar, US bomber, SFE, W Can inf, and German WR units must be removed from contention.
Midway and Wake are eliminated because they both prevent an infantry from drowning and therefore carry the value of an infantry whether they are used or not.
In the past I have used sz26 so it is out.
Which leaves us with Greenland and Crazy Ivan.
I have never used Greenland. Not even for a coaster. But, the question asks which unit/territory on the board is most useless. Now, in certain circumstances, Crazy Ivan can be used to represent a unit as a plastic chip but I would feel compelled to give him an atomic wedgie for standing on my board. HOWEVER, Crazy Ivan does have the capacity to bribe me not to vote for him. So, I will put Crazy Ivan to the side for now pending receipt of payment.
In conclusion, the answer is most likely Greenland. The ball is in your court Crazy Ivan.
-
Oh my, I TOTALLY overlooked Crazy Ivan as an option. :roll:
Mr. Poll taker, please rescind my vote for sz26 and replace it with a vote for Crazy Ivan – there is NOTHING more useless on (or over) an A&A board than Comrade Ivan. :-D

:-D
2 more votes for me! thanks guys :-D
