What is Sydney's role? 1940 Global

[guyj]

I’ve been wondering for a little bit, is Sydney a capital? Every country, except China has their own capital, or regional capital in UK Pacific’s case. If you look at the board certain areas are marked in read, victory cities and capitals. Capitals only differ from victory cities in one way, they are marked with a square whereas VCs are marked with a circle. Sydney is marked as a circle. And the rulebook calls ANZAC as “a cornerstone of the British Empire”. So is there capital Calcutta? Or even London? The real Australian capital isn’t even Sydney. Sorry if this was another dumb question.

@guyj For game purposes the capital is New South Wales.

@barnee Thank you! Sorry if my question was a dumb one.

In the future please post in the appropriate forum category.
The 'Welcome" - category is to welcome /introduce new users.

The “Global1940” -category is for this specific game.

Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @guyj

Basically you’re right about Sydney.

Since you cannot capture a City - but only a Territory that has a City placed in it - New South Wales is considered the “Capital Territory” of ANZAC.

When players refer to for example The Battle of Moscow - or The Battle of Berlin - the true reference is in reality the territories that these two Capitals are placed in: Russia and Germany.

In the House Rules section on this forum you’ll find a Global 1940 Game Report Thread - showing both pictures and Game Reports - for your inspiration. There you’ll see multiple examples for your question.

As I said above:

The “Global1940” -category is for this specific game.

You get there by following the link when you click the headline “Axis & Allies Global 1940”, so the same way as you got inside the “Welcome” category.

What is irritating you?

@panther Ok, I’m sorry I didn’t see that. What do you mean what’s irritating me?

With that question I meant what prevented you from seeing the forum categories?
There is always room for improvement…

[guyj]

@panther Oh, sorry I misunderstood you. It was just my error. I didn’t know about or see that category. Again, I’m sorry.
