that way, suppose they give the middle east to usa only. Then usa get’s 8 extra ipc’s a turn, but it will take awhile before 8 usa ipc’s can counter 12 german ipc’s attacking russia.
if they give some of it to the uk, it will take less time for the uk to help russia, but germany now get’s to take away money from uk when it takes that territory. If they give it to russia, then germany get’s to take directly from russia.
In any case, it will make the territories in the middle east key since they do a triple IPC swing instead of a double.

At the beginning of the game, the allies would divide the middle east up among themselves placing the appropriate country chip on each of the middle east countries. If germany takes it, the former owner has to pay. That way you wouldn’t just let give them all to russia. It would certainly help the allies out, but germany has an advantage anyway. What do you guys think of this, has anyone ever tried this?

I believe that oil is only a liability for the allies. For when Germany takes it they get paid, and the allies write the check. They do not adjust the starting income, but pay from it.

greatest word ever!!!
reminds me of a funny story in the gross anatomy lab . . .
:D

You get 6 ipc’s from england and 19 from convoys :-? how exactly is the middle east added in there. And if germany takes them do you move the UK’s Ipc production conter down. cause if you do then if germany takes the middle east and all their convoys (and england still has england) then the UK is effectively reduced to -2 IPC’s :roll:

No, the middle east IPCs are in the income already. But if the Allies lose the middle east, then they have to make up their mind who of them pays how much. If they don’t, then Germany can appoint the payment after its gusto (usually all then has to be paid by russia).

right - that’s what i meant.
it’s already included. It’s nice in a way - gives the allies a chance to pay from whomever can afford it. (imagine this in regular A&A)

the thing is if Germany occupies them, then they still use and spend the money, but they have to give Germany the ipc’s back (i.e. England, i believe, would get the 8 ipcs, but they might co-erce the US into paying up if Germany occupies it).
