Thank you, that actually helped a lot. We had a general idea of the subs ability to submerge unless facing destroyers, but that got a little confusing when it came to combined arms. Your comment about dice actually sorted that out. Thanks a bunch, I’m sure I’ll be back with questions about convoys, bombing, and scrambling once we play again.
Why are there Canadian roundels? A new rule perhaps?
-
The answer is that it doesn’t make the game better, it would just make all these Canadian A&A players happy to see their country represented in the game, even if it is to the game’s detriment.

Who cares, they will buy it anywhy. :-D
Besides, they can all get behind a fundrasier to make ‘Axis and Allies-Battle of Canada’ where they get to chose which battles they help the UK with. LOL :-D

They should be happy they even got the roundels. :evil:

Its time we start arguing that the Channel Islands had a considerable ecomany, produce many 10s of infantry and acted independantly of the UK, so its clear they should not be streotyeped as part of th UK, and should be their own power; including their own income, units and combat.

Yeah, I’ve heard of such attempts. For example, there’s Bose, who escaped from India to Germany via Afghanistan and the Soviet Union in 1940. He wanted to lead an army of Indian POW’s to “liberate” India from Britain. Hitler was actually reluctant to do this as he admired the British Raj. Anyway, after setbacks in the invasion of Russia, this became impossible. Thus, Bose was transfered via subs off Madagascar to Japan, who helped him lead an army of Indians captured at Singapore to invade India. The sad thing is, that those Indians who joined Japan and invaded India are regarded as “freedom-fighters” in India and are given large pensions. Indians who fought on the British side against the Japanese invasion of it are not.
Yea I’ve heard similar stories of Indian troops (freedom fighters) fighting on the axis side. That’s a bummer about the pensions. That must have come about after Aug 1947 when India gained its independence. Its also when Pakistan (Muslim ) was split off and was recognized.

The Canadian roundels are there purely for the recognition of Canada’s contribution to the Allied effort.

And it looks better

–but but, what are these Canadian roundels really all about???
Brain Damaged, it appears no one wants to believe Larry’s simple statement… :roll:

Get over Canada. Its not going to be in the game, its just that nothing ever happens in Canada, because they helped alot in the war and have a cool rondol they are on the board.
Whos with me

Then any minor power should have its roundel: Mexico, Brazil, Panama, Greece, Finland, Siam, Romania, etc. Man, even the neutrals as Spain for that matter :|
But for a gaming point of view canadian roundels has no use and so has no sense if they are not going to be a separate power or have any gaming use. Larry should delete the roundels or give them a role.
The split of India as 2nd capital is a bad one, it was better Canada. But since I’m going to delete all the chinese and neutral ACME walls and all capital sacking crappiness in my house rules, I guess that I can also give Canada the 2nd capital status the deserves :wink:

Why is splitting it into India bad? If it were UK and Canada, all the money would go to Europe and none to the pacific.

If allies want win the game, India must hold. Ignoring Japan will not be a viable approach anymore with such big map. India will pop only one dude after round 3-5, and maybe even less, if India is the 2nd capital. India cannot hold in that case. Unless of course that West India has value of at least 2 and a minor IC can be built there :|

No, if it were split UK and Canada, only the Canadian resources would be dedicated to the European side. Func’s point is that if it were a UK/Canada split rather than a GBr/India split you could spend as much or as little on Pacific as you want, so you wouldn’t end up being limited to buying a couple infantry for India each turn since UK doesn’t get that much to start with in Pacific and can’t reasonably challenge Japan for the DEI.

Man, these topics are still around and in such volume too.
Why not just be happy with the recognition? If its such a problem, paint Canadian roundels under the infantry to distinguish them or something…
-
Will there be Canadian control markers for the people who want to house rule Canada in?
