That is why I think my victory conditions are better. :-) (Btw, I refer to these conditions as the “1 and a 1/2” conditions).
How much can be bled? Convoy disruption question.

UK can lose only 2 IPCs from sea zone 119, as it only touches Scotland. It can lose 8 IPCs from sea zone 109, as it touches both Scotland and United Kingdom.
4 subs in sea zone 119 and 1 sub in sea zone 109 will result in a reduction in income of 4 IPCs for UK. However, 4 subs in sea zone 109 and 1 sub in sea zone 119 would result in a reduction in income of 10 IPCs. In any case, income may not be reduced below zero.
-
So in theory you can take 4 from Greece too, and 2 from Syria?
-
Yes.
-
Damnit, if only I had known that last game, I would have made England pay that much more!
EDIT*
No, only 8.
I am glad that this is not the official ruling, Having the ability to ultra-reduce a countries income with subs add’s more depth to strategic gameplay. Especially for Germany.
-
what??
-
don’t worry too much about this scenario actually fully happening.
Germany needs to buy plenty of subs for this bleeding operation (less IPC’s going to russia), and they know a sub fleet (in 109) can be taken with 1 DD + lots of aircraft (which can’t get hit, so Allies risk only a DD).But if there are no planes in UK, thàt is a whole different story

That’s part of the strategy :) And how can they build planes? When their income is sub 20.
And who said the Germans would be the only ones with subs out there?
-
italian subs? kinky!

Tasty is a better description :)
-
how the hell can you bock resources that are already blocked?
how can scotland be blocked for 4 IPC???
it’s madness i tell you…and i already thought there were far to many convoys in the game…
-
Yes.
that can’t be possible
please put it in errata, or ask harry
but if you start to lose money in this game by taking territories (eg, Greece gets subtracted 4 IPC every round), than there’s something wrong…
