• What happens if the Axis never declares war on the Netherlands, invading France through Belgium? Would this be effective to deny the Commonwealth IPP from the money islands?

    While it’s true that the Commonwealth would not get the income from the territories, it’s not the best strategy. Japan can take almost all of the islands on one turn and then take the money for themselves thus keeping it from the CW too. They get a + 2 bonus every turn for Borneo and Java (each) and those 2 places gives them a victory point at the end of the game.


  • @GeneralHandGrenade would it be worth leaving them neutral until Japan is in a position to take the islands? Then on that turn, Germany can declare and Japan can swoop in on the islands before the UK gets a turn to collect their IPP?

    You would definitely want to wait until Japan is ready to take them. Depending on when they do it might be better to let Japan take them first because if Germany does then the US will get 5D12 rolls when Japan attacks the islands. If the US is only a few IPP’s short of their wartime income then it wouldn’t matter because they wouldn’t need 5 D12’s to get there.
