Clarification please on French territories once Paris has fallen.

Once Paris has fallen, France does not collect income from that point forward. But for French colonial territories, who controls the income when an Ally marches through?  In Indo China, and Indonesia Britain or an ally can claim the IPCs by simply placing a friendly land unit there. Is this also true for French Africa?

Once Paris has fallen, if Britain lands troops in Morocco beginning the long march to Libya, does the British player scope up those IPCs along the way like he can in Indo China?  We’ve never played like that in our other games, but have in our last one. We tried to look for clarification in the rules but have not seen anything obvious.

Well, no one is bullying anyone that I have seen.

Its more over-strategizing each round, seemingly inviting discussion for each combat operation by allies.

Not discounting valuable advice from your allies which we all seek, my view is that this level of co-ordination in-turn each round takes away from individual play and is time consuming. For me, something challenging may be lost when allies overly depend on other’s impute on each strategy.

In the end, each player controls the country so at some point individual play is necessary.

-when it’s not their turn
So if it is Germany’s turn the UK/Russia/US player can talk away from the game so long as that does not interfere with the flow of Germany’s turn, yes?

I like the use of timers in general and loss of IPCs for taking to long. Maybe something that can be of use in my group.

Table Talk in Axis and Allies

What is considered table-talk in Axis and Allies?

In cards, table talk is considered communication by a player with another player with cards in their hand, usually contrary to the rules of the game. Such communication may be through explicitly naming cards, but it is far more common to try to give hints which the opposing players will think innocent, but which will be understood by the player’s partner.

In the games of Axis and Allies, I consider table talk to be for other allied players to strategize, make suggestions, or give hints for a player when it is not their/his turn.  When you have allied players micro-managing another player’s turn and constantly suggesting and reminding that player on strategies, to remember to move this token here or there, it begs the question why do you have the player playing in the first place?

What I would like to do with my group is limit this form of table talk in our gaming sessions.   Are there other examples of table talk? What has your group’s experience been with table talk and the example above?
