@SAS:
NOs represent political/economic conditions that have no strict military basis and so don’t “naturally” fit in the military game mechanic of A&A. The Japanese people would have gotten a great morale boost from taking over a critical Allied city like Calcutta, Sydney, or Honolulu. The Allies don’t get a boost from holding them because that doesn’t boost morale or give any sort of economic or political advantage from keeping those cities that they already had. The Japanese would have had a great political playing card if they had been able to capture any of these cities.
Exactly. What he said.
