  • I am really only expecting for France/Dutch to be the only new power.  We will still have Italy, but I would bet that Canada will be part of the commonwealth, part of the Anglo’s control.

    You’re only going to get France and nothing else.

    neutral africa.

    south africa and egypt would be british empire, north africa would be axis, sahara impassable, but the rest of africa neutral.

    so if one side wants to spend the resources to grab the cash they can. but if you want to ignore it you can, without the penalty of the other side making a fortune.

    in the early designs of revised they toyed with the idea of a neutral africa. i remember seeing a picture with africa a different colour from everything else. i thought it was a good idea then, but now that there will be more neutrals it just makes sense to have africa neutral aswell

    Most of Africa was colonized by beligerents in the war: Italy, Britain, France, and Belgium all had colonies which made up most of Africa

    This wouldn’t be very realistic, North Africa was important for controlling the Mediterranean.

    you did not quote my whole post. you missed a very important part.

  • Sorry about that.

    See how easy it is to twist someone’s words.

    But, I still disagree. The winner of the struggle for North Africa should be richly rewarded by land-grabbing the rest of Africa.

    no problem. it is good you agree. allies should not start out with all the income of africa. they should have to win the battle of north africa and then move units south to gain the ipcs for africa.


  • But now Africa holds many reasons to capture

    Gave you control of the Suez
    Gave you acess to central and southern Africa
    Middle East (which is spose to be worth about 10 IPCs
    Cacacus (another 5-10IPCs)
    1-2 victory cities
    Italian NOs

    For me Africa was always important just for all the extra IPC’s.


  • I know, but now it is impossible for the axis to win without taking Cairo (unless they invade UK, US). Also, the middle easts income is now a factor and UK would be limping without Middle East/Africa income. Italy would also be earning 40+.
