Indian Troops take persia, who does it go to

If UK wants to then build a complex, the money has to come from the European economy right, even though the unit came and was bought at India.

[General Veers]

That’s correct. In Global, all income from the European board except for Western India goes to the London treasury.

What really sucks is if London gets captured and some British troops from India take any territory on the Europe board, it still goes to the London economy. So basically that income is simply lost until London gets liberated.

Agreed. That is wrong. UK should have a second capital for such an eventuality.
I hold off making that move, just in case London falls.

[General Veers]

Right, the UK should take full advantage of the Commonwealth and have Ottawa operate as the backup European capital. At that point the UK player could help the US mount a liberation campaign from Canada or put all its resources in South Africa to help out Egypt.

[Witt]

Exactly.

I like the general idea, but it could upset the balance of the game. Sea Lion would become less of a threat and may not be good option at all because it requires a substantial investment on the part of Germany. And with Sea Lion out of the way, the UK may not need to focus on home defense so much, and may be able to send more planes south towards the Mediterranean.

On a side note, I prefer to give Persia to Russia. The 2 inf are very convenient for taking Iraq next.
