1942: Territory question

[Panther]

I received my copy of 1942 today.
I’m wondering about Iceland and Formosa. Both territories are labelled, both do not have an IPC value, both do not have a control marker.
Are these territories “Neutrals”?

How to handle them?

Thank you.

Hi P@nther,

I assumed Iceland was US territory (as it’s green) and Formosa as Japanese territory being (orange).

I also assumed that it’s there for landing planes.  I could be totally wrong.

Krieghund would have a better answer.

Hey Panther, I was just about to answer your post in the ABattleMap thread  :roll:

Anyway, here’s what I wanted to say:
@P@nther:

I’m wondering about Iceland and Formosa. Both territories are labelled, both do not have an IPC value, both do not have a control marker.

They don’t have a control marker, unlike Greenland, Gibraltar or Caroline Islands, so I think they’re “just for fun”, and aren’t separate territories.

Maybe some “rest” of the AA50-map that was accidentally not deleted.

For now, I’m going to say that Iceland and Formosa are not game spaces.  I’m working on getting an official answer.

[Krieghund]

The official word is that these islands are game spaces.  Iceland should have a UK roundel, and Formosa should have a Japanese one.  This will be in the FAQ.

Thank you for the clarification :-)

another territory question
the sz to the north east of UK and north west of Norway…. does it touch the UK?  I think it does, but the map sure looks like it could go either way.

[Krieghund]

Sea zone 3?  Yes.

SZ3 slightly touching UK is old issue from Revised
wish they adjusted the sea zone line so this doesn’t get asked all the time
