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…
