Say Anglo-Egyptian Sudan is controlled by Italy but empty and the British have a tank in Egypt.

On the British turn, can the tank move into Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (blitzing) then return to Egypt on the same turn?

@Saber25 said in 1940 Global: Can you place a minor production facility in a territory the same turn you capture it?:

The US has captured Norway, and then the next turn placed a factory. Is it legal for the US to deploy ships into seazone 113, which is inside of the Danish straight? Clearly they could not pass through without holding Denmark itself, but it seems to me that there is no reason that the US could not deploy to that zone for additional pressure on Germany!

You are correct. Since the ship is being built it does not have to pass through any strait. A minor factory in Norway may build up to 3 ships per Turn in either SZ126, SZ125, SZ112 or SZ113 or any combination thereof.

It did change in some of the Alpha+N rulesets but the official rules have been pretty static since 2nd Ed.

We had a game where Axis totally dominated, I mean, allied pieces were basically off the game board, put away, done. We called it day, left the game as it was, one of the players came back over the next day, and it was Germany/Italy VS Japan, where within 5 hours, Japan ruled the world :)

We only did something like that once, but was a cool variant. I don’t think I would like to start that way, but continuing a war after its over by a new declaration or war was a nice touch.

@majikforce:

Wow I really like this idea.Â My only concern would be that early on the US would probably be under time limit a lot (depending on when they are brought in to the war) Would that extra income swing things too much one way?Â I don’t know but it sounds like a cool idea to explore.Â I think we are gonna go straight time limits to start with and get feedback from everybody and then maybe experiment with the par idea.Â Thanks for the ideas!

Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, you could set up tables that give different pars for different countries at different stages of the game. In competition chess, I believe, players must make x number of moves per hour during the initial stages of the game, but are then given more time per move past a certain point. The principle would be similar here, reflecting such factors as the wartime vs. peacetime status of some powers, the more marginal role in the game of some countries (like France and China), and Britain’s split global economy.

No, it wasn’t on my list. I just added it as 16e

It is in the Triple A list in the program, though. If you look down the description of the G40 map, one of the things is “rules Triple A engine doesn’t recognize” or something like that. That’s the list I meant it was already on

@orania:

Has war been declared on the states? If not you are not allowed to leave the coastal seazones of the US. You are allowed to do a longe range patrol into seazone 102.

I’ve just realised this last night. MAde a couple of novice errors as still getting up to speed on the rules as first game on 1940.

Yes: A tank can "blitz" by moving through an unoccupied hostile territory as the first part of a move THAT CAN END IN A FRIENDLY or hostile territory (emphasis mine).

One of the gotchas of doing a blitz, is that any facilities such an an Air Base, IC, or Naval Base, will block it, so if a tank enters a territory that contains any one of these things, it has to end its turn in that space.
