German victory objective - Eliminate Communism; which Soviet cities...?

@ButterSurge

Im trying to create a basic framework for the rise of the Axis powers very similar to the one sported by HBGs Global 1936. It is my hope this script will get the ball rolling so to speak. If anyone has any suggestions to improve or expand such a script, please feel free to share.

The Diplomatic script

ROUND 1

Germany annexes Austria
UK and France incomes increase by 1 IPP each

Italy annexes Albania

ROUND 2

Germany annexes Czechoslavakia
UK and France incomes increase by 1 IPP each

Italy may invade Abyasinia
UK income increases by 1 IPP if Italy occupies Abyasinia

Japan may invade China
FEC and ANZAC incomes increase by 1 IPP for every Chinese territory Japan occupies until at war with Japan

USA may invade Mexico
CSA income increases by 1 IPP for every Mexican territory the USA occupies until at war with the USA

ROUND 3

USA may occupy Cuba
UK and CSA incomes increase by 1 IPP each

ROUNDS 4-6

The status quo continues until global war

ROUND 7

WW2 begins, Germany invades Poland and the Entente minus the CSA, declare war on Germany exclusively

The Molotov-Ribontrop pact is signed, Eastern Europe is divided between Germany and the USSR and the USSR agrees to lend-lease Germany 3 oil and 3 iron ore per turn until they are at war

If Germany captures Paris, Finland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Venazeula, and Argentina become pro-Axis

Italy and Turkey may join the Axis at their descretion from now on

ROUND 8

The USA and Japan may sign the Pacific Mutual Security Pact, stipulating the USA will cede the Phillipines, Guam, Wake and Midway island to Japan and the USA promises to lend-lease Japan 3 oil and 3 iron ore per turn until either power is defeated, the game ends, or if “Japan leaves the Axis”* at a later date. Japan and the USA then must declare war on the Entente jointly. The CSA will then join the Entente and declare war on the USA.

*Japan may leave the Axis and act as a free-agent after round 12, this allows to Japan to attack any power and make peace on their own without the consent of their allies.

The rules (3.3) say that you lose VPs per land zone in home territory that has a point value.

KMT/CCPs home territory consists of KMT, CCP, Warlords, Manchuria, Hong Kong, and Formosa.

So basically the Japanese really have to screw the pooch for KMT/CCP to get all their VPs.

Unless I’m missing something?

@mike141500 I’m going to say no because Partisans as far as I remember, do not actively defend in combat.

@aldrahill diplomacy expansion allows Germany to straight up roll to align Iraq.

@generalhandgrenade Thanks GHG. Useful info for my ongoing game.
Bad luck the Spring Offensive. Had my money on you. Better luck next time.

@sjelso Denmark is something I also wouldn’t take till later, but the Netherlands can be a pain very quickly after Japan attacks. Norway may be risky by sea, but only 2 airborne are needed if given long range air support. If done during lightning war, Norway can be rather easily and quickly conquered.

@manincellv No.

You could deny the 2 IPP that Russia receives by placing an Axis Submarine on the Arctic Convoy Line. The American player could also deny the Russians the 2 IPP just by stating it verbally. That’s one of the reasons why I always say in my videos that the Russian player needs to be a dick to win but they can’t be too much of a dick. They have to cooperate with the Allies to certain extent without helping them win. It’s a delicate balance between the players that doesn’t exist in A&A.

But no, you can’t actually raid the Arctic Convoy Line.

@JbuckBuddy said in Victory Objectives: Loss:

Would the objective cities count seperately from the NOs, as in if the KMT owned Nanking, could it be subtracted as a result of having enemy occupied territories worth at least 1 IPP like the NOs can? I am inclined to think the cities are awarded by alliance and not nation but i wanted to be sure. The same would apply to France/Free France(and Paris) if territories in France are still occupied, I am assuming. Any help or info would be

A couple points

The subtraction for VPs for occupied zones applies to Chinese Home Country, not continental china or any other definition. FEC occupying FEC would not subtract KMP VPs as FEC and KMT could never be considered enemies. This also means I think that if at the end of the game KMT and CCP are still at truce, they are not considered enemies either. I would also consider zones “occupied” by a surrendered japan to not be held by Enemies either, but this might be just personal on my part.

I would agree however that the rules as written seam to me that VPs for either chinese faction is very all or nothing; its going to be difficult for either faction to conquer some of the Japanese starting zones like Manchuria or Formosa as either faction.

For reference:

Enemy: Nations (and all their units, facilities and land zones) are enemies when they are at war with each other. (E.g. Germany and France are not “Enemies” until they are at war.
