UK starts w/4 IC's in the global game (2 of them are capitals)

[WILD BILL]

@Dargoon:

The only thing that will be kinda weird is that the ipc’s from the west 1/2 of India (on the Euro map) will be awarded to the English IC (London), but they had to draw the line somewhere!

Maybe not, maybe “Western India” will be worth only 1 IPC. If that is the case, that 1 IPC should go to India and the 1 IPC from British Columbia (Canada) should go to the United Kingdom. That would make a lot more sense, to me anyway  :-D.

That’s one way to look at it lol. I guess it would work out the same anyway.

The dividing line should be India gets all of the Asian continent IPC’s, UK gets the rest of the world.

[WILD BILL]

I like the divide where the maps meet. Your already familiar with the tt’s under India’s thumb. There wouldn’t be much income if it was just Asia, most of it belongs to China. If UK gains control of the E Indies, its probably through a coordinated effort of units from India, and/or Anz. So yea the income the E Indies generates should go to India, or Anz IMO.

From what Larry said there will not be an NO involving the E Indies in the global game and only England will get an NO, India will not.

It would be less than Asia as it stands now, so I don’t get your point unless your including Western Canada.

can Britain spend European Ipcs in india or only on the Europe side of the board.

@finnman:

UK spends Euro $ in England, Canada, or S Africa.

UK spends Pac $ in India

If this is the case, Japan should go all out to take out India early.

Then, probably this will be broken. India cannot hold just only with 5 IPCs  :-P Card castle problem again, just that this time the castle starts falling from India instead from China. And what’s the stuff with canadian markers?

House rules approaching …  :roll:

Assuming there are Seaports in Egypt and South Africa it wont be too difficult to funnel in a couple extra troops into India from the South Africa IC.  Japan will be far too preoccupied wreaking havoc in Pacific and dealing with the US to really disrupt UK transports with small escorts in the Indian Ocean.  Nothing is stopping the UK from using their Europe income on units that will be eventually be moved to India.

With so much at stake, they will have to. This will make life easier for Germany.

I’m not so sure how much it will make life easier for Germany, that remains to be seen considering we don’t know how the relative incomes of each country is affected by all the new territories being added.

Larry has revealed the the Middle East will have a lot more territories and a lot more significance in the game than previously, especially for the UK and the Italians.  Africa has always been relatively important for the Axis to capture also in order to get the necessary funds to hold the Allies at bay.  This means that a UK shuck from S. Africa to the Middle East (whose back door is India) will be of utmost importance.

If the Italians focus on taking the Middle East to get their NOs and open the door into Africa and the underbelly of Russia, they won’t have much else for dealing with Gibraltar or supporting Germany in Europe.  And if the Japanese move the IJN toward the East Coast of Africa, they open themselves up to the US/ANZAC further east in the Pacific.  We’ll have to see how it actually plays out considering the way Japan is playing out in the Pacific game right now, but I think the S. Africa/India combo in Global is going to be a tougher nut to crack than it first appears.

I see a lot of cooperation w/India & S. Africa. I also see more cooperation between Italy and Japan (rare) to control the Indian ocean. Either of these IC’s in axis hands would be a real problem for the allies. If one falls the other could be next using the same routes (NB). N Africa/Mid East will definitely play a huge roll, and don’t forget about the feisty Anzac. The Indian ocean will see a lot more action.

Its true that Jap will have its hands full w/US, but that could be as late as rd #4, if Jap can bait the UK. I wonder if a J1 attack will be as good an option in the Global game. They will have more UK units to deal with coming over from Africa, so India may stand tall. That and the US steaming in along with Russian aid to China could be overwhelming.

[TitusAndronicus]

Keep in mind this is the 1940 scenario, the Royal Navy still has the HMS Hood and Ark Royal which could very well be reflected as an extra full AC and battleship (or cruiser) in the Atlantic, especially considering the Battleship outside Malaya in P40 probably represents the Prince of Wales.  Couple that with the near-certain UK naval base in Gibraltar, the French Navy and Fortress Malta with a scramble (last two confirmed by LH IIRC) it may not be particularly easy for Italian and German ships to sail around where ever they please.

If Indian money has to be spent in india does that mean

All Brittish income from the Asian board has to be spend in India (including any captures of the DEIs)
All income from the Asian conteniant (Hong Kong, Mayala)+the income from the DEIs can be spent anywhere.
Just income from the subconteninat (India, Burma).

Will Indian NOs go to London either

There will be no ANZAC money if India falls.

Its the first one:All Brittish income from the Pacific board has to be spend in India (including any captures of the DEIs)

From what Larry said the Pac side won’t have any UK NO’s (DEI) in global, but the income generated by DEI held by UK will go to India.

[Guest]

And if I read that right, ANZAC will not even collect IPC’s if India falls.

[democratic leader]

Yes, I’m sure Sydney and Melborne would just all stop producing war goods just becasue India fell.

I hope ANZAC are indepandant of anyone else, because Brittan did nothing for us, and the only ones who helped us was the US, in return for use of our ports and army.

Transfering money from Aus to Londen would be almost impossible, and so inefficant by the time it gets to the Atlantic there is nothing for the Germans to sink.

[Krieghund]

ANZAC will still be an independent power.
