Those transports were a key to defeating amur without losing any planes if you decided to restack there, along with all the planes, obviously, that are within reach.

Too bad those South African units can’t shoot! One less Luftwaffe aircraft would have been nice.  :-D

[Fortress]

I was prepared for that. I figured the bomber would be the casualty. Now he gets to look for something else to blow up :)

At least, some subs will get to slip in the Med to slow down Italy a bit.

[Fortress]

I considered burning an infantry on Italy’s turn to help that out. Decided I’d rather have one more defender.

I was rubbing my hands thinking that I would build a major factory in Norway, looks like it will have to be a minor factory, is that right?

Correct; majors can only be built or upgraded on 3 IPC territories (or greater) that you are the original owner of.

Germany - Germany, Western Germany, GSG, Slovakia-Hungary, Romania, Norway, Holland
France - France, SoFrance
UK - UK, India, Kwangtung, Malaya
USSR - Russia
Japan - Japan, Korea
USA - WUSA, CUSA, EUSA
Italy - N Italy, S Italy

I think that is all-inclusive as to who can own a major IC and where. Anzac can never own one. Nor, obviously, China

[Omega1759]

That Japan airforce is such a pain in the “#%$@”. I will probably only get to US and other late tonight or tomorrow.

[Fortress]

Yes. Yes it is.  :evil:

The rule referenced above is known on the Larry Harris Game Design website as the “you know it’s really easy for the USA to capture Norway; the game is broken if we let the USA build 10 guys on Norway every turn from US6 until the Allies win the game” rule.

I’ll need to find a way to down some of these planes somehow. Still grinding Japan down, but not fast enough for my taste (shooting down one of the bombers over the 4 bombing raids conducted so far would have been nice).

[Fortress]

I never get to play the Axis. I hate dancing around those things when I’m the Allies. It’s nice to play with them as the Axis for once.  :-D

They are able to be what somebody (Garg, maybe?) calls a “shadow force”. They’re in one spot, but they multiply your force in several possible locations; they might be headed to one location in my mind, but the opponent has to plan that they can turn up where he wants to be, too. They’re an initiative-robber.
