• @Krieghund:

    I’ve only confirmed one of the Japanese Objectives so far.  Maybe Lynxes should mark the ones I’ve confirmed with an asterisk or something?

    I think this one is a little incorrect: Manchuria+Kiangsu [Shanghai region]+French Indo-China/Thailand=5 IPCs

    I assume that you have to hold Formosa as well to obtain that bonus.


  • @Krieghund:

    @Lynxes:

    Japan

    Manchuria+Formosa+French Indo-China=5 IPCs

    Actually, this is Manchuria, Kiangsu (which contains Shanghai) and French Indo-China/Thailand.


  • You are pretty close on alot of these. As I said before, some of these are correct, its just you have the amount off. (What I mean is, you need # of _ instead of having to take all of them)

    I would also suggest you * those “Big K” had confirmed.

    Canada has to fit somewhere in your UK bonuses.

    USSR only has 2 objectives (something discussed above).


  • @Lynxes:

    UK

    Allied control of any Japanese 1941 at-start territory [Manchuria & Kiangsu are Japanese-controlled Chinese territories]= 5 IPCs.

    Does “territory” also apply to zero-IPC islands like lwo Jima or Carloline Islands?

    Yup.

    Hmm, that makes things considerably more interesting.  Japan is not going to be able to strip the Carolines and Iwo Jime of troops because of the Allied IPC bonus, which means that Japan is going to be strapped for infantry and transports, and now transports have to be escorted.  Iwo Jima is one move from the US West Coast.  Krieghund, will destroyers be able to carry one infantry unit in this game, or is that not going to be allowed?  Also, is this bonus per territory captured, i.e. 5 IPC per territory captured, or 5 IPC as long as you capture one without regard to total captured?

    That was a revised NA, and there arent any in this game, so I doubt it.

    No.

    5 IPCs total if one or more is held.


  • Some more infos about the national objectives today? Probably the total number of them and the figures for each country?

    On a day where the US (markets) create so much turmoil, one should release some good news to satisfy the world :wink:!

  • Official Q&A

    @Atlantikwall:

    Some more infos about the national objectives today?

    No, a tech today - another National Objective next time.


  • Well, I continue using parenthesis-values for speculation and without parenthesis for confirmed ones. I was pretty sure for the third Japanese bonus since I thought I could read it from a BGG pic, but I’m now more cautious.

    I tweaked my speculations in your direction, squirecam, with a number to take. I assume the post-war political goals of UK and Soviet Union will be included in some way, would make sense since Churchill was more concerned with European politics than the Americans who just wanted to win the war ASAP and were ignorant if remote nations became communist-dominated…

    By the way, Squirecam has given away parts of some objectives, and those parts are now edited in. All fully confirmed techs are by Krieghund.

  • Official Q&A

    @Lynxes:

    UK

    *(Allied control of at least four out of: Gibraltar, Morocco/Algeria, Libya, Egypt and/or Transjordan=5 IPCs)

    This is actually 5 IPCs for control of Eastern Canada, Western Canada, Gibraltar, Egypt, Australia and Union of South Africa.


  • Again, thanks, Krieghund!

  • Official Q&A

    Update:

    @Lynxes:

    Japan

    • Axis control of at least four out of: (Hong-kong, Netherlands East Indies, Borneo, Phillippine Islands, New Guinea and/or Solomon Islands)= 5 IPCs

    This one is correct, though technically it’s Kwangtung, not Hong Kong (Hong Kong is the Victory City in the territory of Kwangtung).


  • *(Hawaiian Islands+Midway+Marshall Islands+Wake Island+Okinawa+Iwo Jima)=5 IPCs

    How correct is this one?

  • Official Q&A

    Double update today, since Larry posted these on his site:

    @Lynxes:

    Soviet Union

    • Archangelsk + no Allied units on red areas= 5 IPCs

    This is correct.

    @Lynxes:

    US/China

    *(Hawaiian Islands+Midway+Marshall Islands+Wake Island+Okinawa+Iwo Jima)=5 IPCs

    The US gains 5 IPCs if Allied powers control at least 3 of the following territories: Midway, Wake Island, Hawaiian Islands and/or Solomon Islands.


  • Thanks, again! I’ll try to get Imperious Leaders attention so that he adds all these updates to the Fact sheet as well.

    This one gives Japan an incentive to grab two of Wake, Midway and Solomons. They weren’t very valuable in resource terms but rather represented forward air bases that could keep the Americans farther from the homeland. Another thing that the game does to favour a Pacific strategy for Japan rather than a land one, I like it!

  • Official Q&A

    @Krieghund:

    @Lynxes:

    Soviet Union

    • Archangelsk + no Allied units on red areas= 5 IPCs

    This is correct.

    Whoops, I didn’t read this one closely enough!  :oops:

    5 IPCs if no other Allied forces are present in territories controlled by the USSR and if the Soviets control Archangel.

    A subtle difference, but an important one.


  • already added to fact sheet.


  • Hey, IL, maybe you could edit out what I have edited out? Some of the National objectives you list have already been deleted by me because of corrections, and your fact sheet right now is a bit confusing.

    The sooner we get the full picture, the sooner we could start discussing what the changes means for game-play!
