Assume I have 6 German subs raiding the North Atlantic (e.g., SZ 1-12, & 19). When it is the Allied turn to Collect Income, who looses income?
The sea zones as per the list in the 4.0 outline which zones are under protection of each player. If Germany has subs in uk zones, then on Germany s turn the UK player loses 1 IPC per sub in the effected zones. Its just like when you lose IPC during SBR. Its extremely simple: say a German sub manages to move adjacent to UK ( not sure what SZ that is but im sure its a protected zone).,… that sub forces UK to lose 1 IPC on his next turn. It works for surface ships too BTW.
Do all three (e.g., US/UK/USSR - Lend Lease) feel the sting of the U-Boat for 6 IPC each, or do they decide among them who is to lose 6 IPC – or do the Germans decide who they want to hit? (n.b., though technically early in the game US could only 4 for Brazil & West Indies).
NO your making this way more complicated. Each nation as per the 4.0 has its own set of SZ. One sub only removes 1 IPC to that one nation where its sitting in and if by chance its a sea zone where two nations have the same, then its up to them who loses the point.
With the Convoy Zones boxes you know whose income is effected and you don’t have to worry about sorting this out.
Any insights or clarifications I’m missing from the rules?
these are basically convoy zones, we just don’t draw them on the map because it creates independent zones inside of zones and we don’t want extra spaces .
all you have to do is look at the convoy chart and place a national token in each sea zone that can be attacked by anybody. Thats about 40 seconds. then you don’t have to do anything except try to get to those spaces and attack the enemy. simple see?
