Bombarment question

ok, thanx again

@514bishy:

For some reason my friends and I are confused about this NO and similar ones like it:

2IPCs per territory if Italy controls Iraq, Persia, and/or Northwest Persia. Theme: Access to strategic oil reserves

To me this means that if for example Italy controls only Iraq it will get 2IPC’s. Is this correct?

Yes.

@514bishy:

I also had a question about the convoy disruption on page 24 of the rulebook. At the bottom right it says that Italy could loose up to 2 IPC’s from the british sub. Is this a typo?

Yes.  See the FAQ.

Yes and I’m realizing I’ve been playing this game totally wrong for years! Thanks.  :|

Your right sir Bombs alot.  Planes vs Subs w destroyers should be a 1:1 Ratio.

Regardless of if Germany has Paris, France or not, if Italy takes S. France, all they get is S. France and collect income as per any other territory conquered during the Conduct Combat Phase of the game.  They never get treasury IPC for taking a territory, unless they take a capitol (Calcutta, India; Sydney, Australia; Washington DC, USA; London, England; Moscow, Russia; Berlin, Germany; Rome, Italy).

Taking a capitol is an exception to the rules, it is not a standard rule for taking any territory.

1)  It’s just the first one.

2)  Just the one.  There are no “neutral countries”.  Each neutral territory is independent.

TripleA or Abattlemap are the best two options, and both are free, and both have many different game versions to choose from.  TripleA is a full blown java application with the rules hardcoded and is typically played real time, although it has a save feature and a play by email option.  Abattlemap is simply a visual representation of the map/pieces and can be played by forum, but has none of the rules hard coded into it and is the closest to playing the real board game.

http://triplea.sourceforge.net/mywiki for tripleA information.  You must download the maps separately though the program, it is very easy.

http://www.flames-of-europe.de/ is where you can get Abattlemap, you must register to get it.

GTO is an evil, vile company that made a crappy product that they charge for, and then tried to get TripleA shut down.  Yes, wotc only went after tripleA because GTO told them to do it, at least in my opinion.  Otherwise they would have went after Abattlemap as well, and shut them both down with legal action instead of a  simple C&D letter to honor there licenses agreement with GTO.

France shouldn’t be allowed to do anything. That would be realistic.
