Small setup modification G40

@General:

What about removing a transport that is guaranteed to be a goner in exchange for an extra infantry and artillery in Tobruk? Basically a shuttle before the game begins.

I’d at least put them in Libya or split them between Libya/Tobruk so Egypt isn’t as compromised.

Thanks YG, it’s good you’re actively questioning and tinkering with the game as it helps keep it fresh.

Splitting the new units does make sense too.

What we do with Vichy France is that as soon as France (the territory) and Normandy are captured, the French turn phase is removed (and no French units can move.) Now on non combat moves any unit from any power (besides the USSR) can move into a French territory or sea zone and activate it for either Vichy France or the Free French. However to keep it simple, to represent this, the territory now belongs to that power, and any French units that were on it now belong to that power and can move normally.
We believe that this adds another element of strategy, as well as giving Italy a bit of an easier time at it.

Some Special Rules:
The French units that begin in a territory or sea zone with the UK in it become UK as soon as France and Normandy fall.

What do you guys think?

Our group has decided to modify the NOs in order to help Italy get something going after Taranto… We are removing the 5 IPC bonus for control of all North Africa, and replacing it with…

5 IPCs if Italy has at least 1 land unit in Africa.
