Wheatbeer (axis) vs kilroynothere (allies) G40 A3

No problem  :-)

[kilroynothere]

Hey Wheat… crazy week. Sorry for the delay. Lot’s to think about this turn for the Allies… decided it is time for D-Day!  Might get pushed back off, but it will be entertaining to say the least. Never have done a D-day or seen one done. So, here we go. Feels a couple of turns too early, but just don’t have much of a choice.

The current A3 rules on Larry Harris Game design say:

5 IPCs for each turn that the US has at least one land unit in the territory “France”. Theme: Great Alliance collaboration

But I don’t know if “France” means just FRA, or if it includes WFR and SFR.  Oddly, no one’s tried to claim in for WFR in any of my games yet, so I kinda assumed they knew it didn’t.  But the fact it’s in quotation marks maybe indicates the historical area of France which would be all three territories.  Will need to ask in the FAQ I guess.

Yeah, that NO has changed wording a bunch of different times. The one on our particular board specifically says Holland or Normandy…. frankly, can’t remember for this particular version.  I know NOW it says France, but that has changed a few times.

I will scramble the fighter in CPR.

[wheatbeer]

Oh yeah, we started this game before 3.9 I think.  Let’s just assume it’s the normandy/holland NO then.

[kilroynothere]

So, how do you want to handle the NO for the US in france this game?  I’m wondering if the wording is simply wrong on our map and we go with the latest on the website. must have been the way it was done at some point I would think, but just don’t know when that was.

[wheatbeer]

The NO changed in November, but even though we started this low luck match in January, I probably didn’t pay attention to the change.

I don’t mind if you collect for the Normandy/Holland NO since we probably started the game thinking of the older rule.
