Vance(axis) vs Spoox(allies) G1940 alpha3

[Guest]

If yo attack Novgorod, please kill the bomber first.

[Spoox]

it’s looking desperate for the allies, but attacking Novgorod now with its current overwhelming defenses, would pure suicide :)

a question: if I capture a victory city now, and you capture it back during turn 10, is the timer for holding 8 VC’s during 1 turn reset that way? In other words: do you need to hold them untill the end of turn 11 that way?
Same question: I capture VC now, but Germany (this is important), takes it back during turn 11: does the game end immediately or do you need to hold the VC’s untill the beginning of turn 12?

[Guest]

Yes the clock resets.  If you take a VC and I take it back with Italy for example, then you would have until Italy’s next turn to either retake it or take another VC.

[Spoox]

ok then, allright here we go then. I expect you will win eventually, as the forces you have ready are vastly superior…but I’ll try to hold Paris.
