New Hebrides

@ampdrive:

New Hebrides is a french island between NewZealand and Soloman Is.If Japan takes this when not at war with UK/Anzac/USA,does it have any political consequence?

No, just see:

@rulebook:

Japan may attack French territories
at any time, requiring no declaration of war against any
Allied power before doing so.

and

@rulebook:

France’s capital has been captured by Germany. As a result,
French territories are treated in the same way as any Allied
territories whose capital is held by an enemy power (see
‘Liberating a Territory,’ page 20).

HTH :-)

Yes, it’s in the FAQ.

Ok thats what i wanted to know 8-)

I will do the same:

Since I’m the one that pointed out a lot of threads were ending in WOTC bashing with no real plan of action, I feel I should comment.

I support what MaherC is saying here. I didn’t have to resort to calling to get my tacs, but apparently the rest of us do. I’ve had multiple cases of having to ask for defective or missing pieces to be replaced by WOTC so maybe that’s why I was treated differently, I don’t know. I’m glad to see we are starting to take a united stand on what we believe in:

1. The game did not live up to previous PRODUCTION standards.
2. We don’t blame Krieg or Larry for PRODUCTION problems.
3. We need to continue to support each other to help maintain the standard we expect from WOTC in the games we buy and play.

Kreig, Larry, and the others are hard at work sorting this out. We must have faith in them that we will get the game back to what Larry wanted it to be. Remember, this isn’t some video game you’ll be bored with next week. We all bought this as an intellectual investment to enjoy for years. And we will if we just give them the time to work out the details of the new problems that have come up. In the meantime, I too believe the focus should be on the tangible quality problems that WOTC has caused in production and leave the rules stuff to sorted out correctly, not quickly.

@Krieghund:

The FAQ has been updated with a clarification on New Hebrides.  It is treated in the same way as FIC.

Makes sense for game purposes considering the way it is marked on the map board.  :-)

[Although I think historically it was jointly administered with the UK… I think.]

@trackmagic:

I just got my game today and I was actually impressed with the quality of the “cardboard” pieces. They are laminated with some kind of a matte-textured rubber. I think they did a good job on this!

Well it’s a good thing you like them, because I think it is the new trend with WOTC. Being cheap that is. They didn’t even hire a proofreader.

@Brain:

Well I like the new rules anyway.

Just thought of something….if the global game has the USA at an ungodly amount of income then they could be producing too many bombers and then they could SBR Germany to nothing pretty fast. If that is the case then The new rule is actually needed for balance or it could get out of hand. We’ll see.
