Japan wartime bonus question V3

@GeneralHandGrenade thanks General, ok so the propaganda marker would allow for one militia to be placed in a newly captured territory, makes more sense that way.

In my opinion:
The spirit of that event is to decrease Britain’s and France’s Peacetime income, delaying their entry into the war.
If they are already at war I don’t think the SCW would “decrease democracies’ appetite for war.”

If it were me I would leave the UK and French income alone, and decrease the US income by 1.

Hope this helps.

They collect separately. Even after the truce, they are separate countries and collect separately.

Based on the maps drawn on pages 6 and 60 of the beta rules for V3 Istanbul is entirely in the Middle East, and therefore has a rail movement of 1.

Thank you very much.

@MAX1313 I think you misspoke a bit above. You mention V3 every time, when I think you meant V2 somewhere in there.

I’m not 100% positive on this, but I believe the East vs. West Expansion was created with V3 in mind. Meaning, some of the territory names on the map have changed from V2. So if you only have the V2 map, I think you’ll see things from the East vs. West Expansion that do not make sense.

One of the reasons I’m debating getting V3 still. Would love to have the compatibility with the Expansions, as I have a feeling V2 will fall completely to the wayside eventually, which would make sense.

@Chris_Henry thanks for the reply. In my game, I am going to play for the same rules for Sumatra and Borneo as Curaçao. I.e. if Japan takes them, +1 for Allied production of most units

I believe they are trying to accomplish too much in too few of words.

The basic rule for Lend-Lease Supply Path: “Lender’s Major Factory to Receiver’s Home Country.”
Since as you mentioned, FEC is not Home Country it cannot receive Lend-Lease.
Also, FEC’s Capital is technically London, so its Capital cannot be captured.

To compensate for this, the game designers added the exception “The FEC capital is Calcutta for purposes of tracing lend-lease and capture of enemy capitals.”

Meaning that for the FEC Calcutta is duel purpose acting as Home Country in terms of Lend-Lease only, and as their Capital in terms of capturing FEC’s Capital.

IMO, the Rule should be written as “Calcutta is FEC Home Country for purposes of tracing lend-lease, and the FEC Capital for purposes of capture of enemy capitals.”

But to answer your question, the lend-lease to FEC ENDS in Calcutta.
As in normal Lend-Lease rules, if the shortest path of Lend-Lease goes through another Indian Port, then along undamaged railroads to Calcutta, then yes it can go through that Indian port.
