Fast boom big ipc

@The_Good_Captain Yes. Only “unoccupied” territories may be blitzed through.

@The_Good_Captain That would be interesting to know, because when I received the answer on my question that time, we ended our Europe game and… my brother (Axis) won from me. The allies were marching to Moscow in order to save them but were just one round to late; Germany took Moscow. So in a desperate attempt to strike back to Berlin with all available forces of the allies, my attack failed and Berlin survived, game over. Or not ?

According to what Krieghund said here, I would say yes.

@The_Good_Captain Hmmm. It seems when I answered this before, I neglected to consult the FAQ. The answer here is correct, and the answer in the other thread is not. I have corrected it there. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Yup, that makes sense. Thanks again guys!

@krieghund : +1: Ok, thx again for your help. Unfortunately, there are a lot of mistakes in all versions of this game. So, it’s really not easy to translate the book rules in french.

@andrewaagamer Ah ok, thank you very much. I haven’t really played this game yet. I started a game with my nephew, but we underestimated the time for the set up and the fact that we often have to go read the rules for this or that. We didn’t play much at all. And now I’m translating the rulebook in french and I was wondering if I should add this point to the original to make it clearer to understand. Thx.

This is how Krieghund feels when you don’t say that to him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPquarz16wQ

Oh right,

thanks K.

@Adlertag:

To let the Allies shere IPC income, will destroy the game for sure, and is a madman idea.

Well, that’s the way I played until the other day.  When my friend taught me the rules he honestly thought the allies could share funds.  I finally questioned it on Friday after he bought 5 fighters and six tanks for the Soviet Union.  Apparently, either he and his dad glanced at the rules about allied soldiers being turned into Soviets when in a Russian province and thought sharing of IPCs was allowed, or his dad just pulled a fast one on him.  (The first time my friend played he was Germany.)  However, before that point we had never used that rule to its fullest extent, since we normally had another player and no one wants to give all their income away.

now that i’ve played a few times since the last comment, a sub in the atlantic helps germany alot, since it allows you to clear all their ships, and take the most valuable convoys on turn one with at least 8 subs left over (usually more) although saving isn’t bad too. Otherwise put artillary in poland for the initial strafe. Bids in africa are a waste.

as allies, i’m thinking that adding armor and infantry to russia is good (allies get usually 24 ipcs because of the bid) This alllows russia to take finland and then norway. This is important because it allows the allies to fly fighters to norway which is good! also boosts the russian income. Allies have a lot of options because of the large ipc’s they are able to place.
