Firstly, maybe it shouldn’t be called “blockade”.
I think thats whats confusing. :|
People trying to understand what is a “blockade” when its not in the game anymore.
(The name came when the rule was in its earliest form.)
The rule now really just about IPC path. No teleportation of IPC.
Blockade means you dont get any money from territories that are “trapped” by enemy units?
Not enemy units but enemy territories.
Not that you don’t get income from them, but their income can’t be used in other places. And income from other places can’t be used there.
eg.1
From game start, USSR takes Belorussia and Ukraine. Germany’s West Russia is now surrounded by hostile territories. West Russia’s income can’t be used in other German territories. Income from other German territories can’t be used in West Russia.
The situation can be expanded to a group of territories surrounded by enemy territory.
eg.2
Or late game, USSR only has Russia, Evenki National Okrug and Karelia. All other red territories held by Germany/Japan. Income at Russia and Evenki National Okrug can be used among the two territories. Income from Karelia can’t be used at Russia or Evenki National Okrug.
Define storing?
As with OOB. Its stored in “your hands”. When enemy captures your capital they take all the stored IPC. Except now you can store them in your capital as well as captured capitals.
So if japan is surrounded by american destroyers they dont get any money from anywhere?
Blockade via land is 100%.
Blockade via sea is not.
You can send IPC via hostile sea zones. Convoy rule…each hostile ship destroys 1 IPC on a roll of 3 or less.
So Japan/UK capital can’t be under 100% blockade.
