@The_Good_Captain The rule applies in all sea battles where there are sea units allied to the attacker present, regardless of the type(s) of defending German sea units. The rule mentions only German subs because the author failed to take into account the possibility that the situation could also exist with German surface units if they were mobilized in a hostile sea zone. This oversight was corrected in the Axis & Allies Pacific Rulebook.
Cold War?

Um, I don’t think you can build nor collect income.
You have to go get your capital back.
Otherwise… just began to stack up an invasion force.
-
You should not have any money, because as soon as your capital is taken, the team taking it gets all of your money. If you captured America after the Soviets took Germany, then you would be able to keep the money you got when you took America.
-
That is precisely what happened, I took America after Germany was taken, though immediately after. We ruled that I could continue to collect income.
-
wow. just like in real life : the Russian took half of Europe and the nazis moved to the other side of the atlantic … quite ironic.
-
Maybe the official rules state that you can’t collect income or build until you get your capital back, but I think you should be able to, as a house rule. Think of it as a force away from home receiving word that their capital was taken, so they decide to invade another capital and succeed, then proceed to establish martial law. Then the Nazis would spend time fortifying the US, and building a force capable of striking back at Russia, and hopefully retaking Berlin. (This is, by the way, a real-world equivalent of how it might go. Ultimately, the decision is up to you and the other players.)
-
Yeah all the nazis moved to this side of the Atlantic.It figures a Can would say that.
-
yea, they all went to mexico….
-
Wouldn’t it make sense to just get Japan to invade from the east, and you could take England or something?
-
I’m with Orange on this one. You should be able to build in America, despite what the rules say, as it’s more accurate to real life (disregarding the fact that Germany could never take the US, that is… :P).

Actually, I’ve never played A&AE before, but I still stand by what I’ve said: In A&AR, I would say the say the same thing. :wink:
