Heh.  Is that actually not allowed or just ill-advised?

I’m so impatient.   :mrgreen:

It is against the rules to do so. Usually players don’t mind, but it is better if you learn to do it properly.

Besides it is in your own interest to wait with ncms. If something doesn’t go according to plan, you can alter it accordingly  :-)

But you are 100% right about this game flying by.  You are the best opponent I’ve ever played against in terms of being around.  I’m loving this!  In only 36 hours we’ve done 4 complete turns and change.

Man, I completely forgot about that Dst.  Poor little guy.

It waved as the planes flew by.  :mrgreen:

[gamerman01]

Don’t change the rules mid-game unless you guys both agree to it, but I realize now that there should be a dual capital rule for UK Pacific.

If Sydney or Calcutta is conquered, the conqueror gets half of UK-Pacific’s IPC’s on hand (round up).  When the 2nd is captured, of course the conqueror gets all IPC’s on hand.  If Calcutta is conquered, Sydney cannot collect income from mainland Asia.  If Sydney is conquered, Calcutta does not collect any income from Australia/New Zealand.

Does that make sense?
You guys can implement these rules immediately if you both want to - otherwise, it can wait til next time.
And do you like these changes?

Not sure we changed any rules. I think the new rule would be beneficiary to the allies. As such it is up the Axis player whether he agrees or not. Also given the board state he is a little behind.

I am not sure whether the changes are good or bad. It depends on why the changes were made. Disabling France and making the remaining units UK is definitely a good idea. Whoever came up with that deserves a medal. Other then that it is 50/50. For example if you wanted the uk to have a harder time in the pacific, then you succeeded. Japan can basically steamroll to India.

Means Sydney would still be able to build units if Calcutta is captured.

Means not implement it for now. That would have been my initial guess as well. Since this change benefits me more anyways.  :lol:
