Convoy Question

Ah! Total of results that are 3 or less. Thanks!

It is a sea zone, so it may be flown over.

Thank you very much for your thorough answer James!!

I can see where some confusion could arise, The Soviet Union and France sections discuss a gain of additional pieces that are separate from NOs. So a discussion of IPCs under the United States section could logically imply a separate “gain” of IPCs. Especially since it names this additional IPC as “wartime economy” and states that the U.S. gets this wartime economy on the first turn after an axis D.O.War or the third turn of the United States whichever comes first…indicating that it is a one time thing gained on turn 3 or sooner if attacked.

Since you have your official answer, you are now aware that they receive +30 to the Production chart while at war, thus turn 3 you would collect 35+30 if you did not gain any other territories on round 3.

It would be less confusing if it were not mentioned twice in the rule book I guess. Your friend is schrewd for making that argument. As it might have worked on me, despite my familiarity with the game.

Yes, up to 2 in 119 and up to 8 in 109.

Well, I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing the Soviet battleship leaving the Baltic Sea.  Makes it easier to ferry troops to Leningrad when I don’t have to take out that annoying Red Fleet, and I can take it out when I spread out into the Atlantic.  So it COULD potentially be useful to Germany to let the neutral Soviet fleet out of the Baltic.  I’d have to see it in action first before passing judgment, though.  Could be interesting… I may try it, see what happens.

I think that letting the Soviet BB hook up with the Royal Navy would be bad news for Germany. Better, as the Offspring song exhorts, to “keep 'em separated”.

You’ll see edits on all the posts before this one. I just changed the title from Pacific to Europe.

Well you do realize that is the business plan in a capitalist economy. Car builders do that, video game makers do that, house builders, computer manufacturers and even board game makers do this. Don’t feel bad, buy what you want and that is that. If you feel something better is coming out down the road then just wait, no one is twisting your arm except yourself. Be thankful that new games are constantly coming out, and that we just didn’t stop with the original A&A, no one would play it anymore because it is relatively boring and predictable compared to the newer games now.
