Temporary Europe Map Setup Picture

You are missing a bomber in Germany?

Strange deployment of the BEF in France. In reality they were based in the north near the Belgian border, so should really be in the splendidly named “Flanders-Normandy-Brittany-Aquitaine-Gascony” territory.
Since no retreats are allowed it looks like there’ll be no Dunkirk this time. Or is it assumed to have already happened since there’s a Frenchie already supping in Blighty?

They cant fit that lame title on the map. There is no correct name for that area, because its the coastline and the game starts just when the BEF got cut off or was about too.
-
North-West France would’ve done for me. The names of tts on this map are all over the place.
I imagine the designer’s feeling was that if the BEF was in the north they’d have scarpered over the channel and left the Frenchies to their fate. Wonder what gave them that idea.
-

Bay of Biscay is not North-west France. But the allies did land in Normandy and since that is the only reason why the coastline was made like it was, it should convey that reason. But the coast line includes Normandy,Pas De Calais,Brittany, Le Harve, and North Sea Beaches.
Their are no correct answers because like 90% of these areas are not conventional territories. They are made just to facilitate the game for whatever reason.
-
Yes, but I still dislike the use of “France”, “Russia”, “United Kingdom” etc for what is only the capital territory.
Why have “Poland” and “Eastern Poland” when “Western Poland” and “Eastern Poland” makes so much more sense?
Does anyone have the definitive answer re: Northern Ireland; i.e. can an infantry move from Scotland into Eire without sea transport?

Yes.

Yes.
That’s weird though.
-
yes it makes no sence. The distance from Scotland to Ireland is greater than from France to UK, and yet you need transports.
-
Well, since the “Scotland” territory includes Northern Ireland too, I guess it “makes sense” that way; though I still don’t completely like it. Not that people will be moving pieces into Eire all that much anyway.
-
So… is Eire an Island for scramble purposes?
If so, I could see some interesting possibilities… :-D -
No, because it borders that part of the stinking Scotland territory is in the same sea zone. :|
-
So you’re telling us that a ship cannot sail directly from SZ109 to SZ119?
-
Yes, it can. They touch west of Eire.

It also boarders two sz’s so it for sure can’t scramble. I was wondering if two named islands in the same sz can scramble if there is an AB on one (or both). Like in Sicily/Sardinia or Cypress/Crete ?

If this set up is indeed correct - so much for the much vaunted Luftwaffe! I count just 4 fighters and what appears to be a tactical bomber (though maybe its a bomber?). That can’t possibly be right considering what Japan alone starts with.

If there’s an airbase, it can scramble.

8 planes in total…

That’s because the Luftwaffe was not as big as the Japanese Air Force. Plus, if the Germans had as much aircraft as Japan had, well, I know I would not play Global.
And hey, so much for the French Navy! With only two cruisers and two destroyers it is very under-represented. But, like the reduction of the Luftwaffe, I believe this was for balance reasons than anything else.

Yes.
In a similar vein, can you move from land units from Greece into Turkey without the assistance of transports?
