Thank you for the quick reply.

@Ghostglider

According to p. 9 of the Pacific Rules: The US (or any power) can capture and control a Dutch territory after Japan has done so, but this implies via a CM.

[Ghostglider]

Thank you - In this particular game Japan has not been bold enough to attack that far away from the mainland!, but thank you for the clarification - I might need it later in the game! :-)

To be sure,

USA can land on or occupy Dutch territory in noncombat movement, just can’t take control

Haven’t played OOB in years. Seeing bids +45 etc… seems crazy.

@666 AndrewAAgamer gets the credit for that! We at Allied HQ thank him for giving us a fighting chance. How it went on so long with those low bids is a testimony to how comfortable players here are with the Axis winning most of the time.

It’s a special relationship between UK/ANZAC and Dutch

USA can’t take control of Dutch

Can we ask the follow up question, does this make sense? We have bm and yg and bb. I can’t get the play tester hat off no matter how hard I try.

It does to some degree because it stops USA from coming in and claiming Dutch New Guinea in particular, then being able to put a naval base down there. I don’t mind the rule the way it is.

@simon33 And yet t.here’s a 45 to 60 ipc bid

That isn’t because of the custodianship rules though.

[crockett36]

@simon33 But it’s an easy common-sense fix.

What do you mean? USA should be able to take the money islands?

[ArtofWar1947]

@simon33

My understanding is that the US can take control of a Dutch territory after the Japanese seize control.

[crockett36]

@ArtofWar1947 I would amend the rule to say the US take control after declaration of war or a state of war is declared between the western alliance and Japanese empire

[crockett36]

There will be a third edition someday I believe so remember the rule you do not get what you do not ask for.
