In theory, yes, if you captured France as Germany with only 1-2 land units remaining, you would collect all France unspent IPC. Then, if France is liberated (by any Allied power) and recaptured by the Axis after France’s next collect income phase, the conquring Axis power would collect any remaining IPC’s from France.

I say in theory, because practically speaking, as the Axis, it would be difficult to plan for this, unless you were willing to both sacrifce air units to ensure a capturable amount of land units remain and assume the Allies would recapture with a likewise “recapturable” amount of land units left in France.

While it may be advisable to retake a capital to prevent the enemy from making it through a production and deployment phase, allowing them to keep the capital until it can be liberated and soundly held may be less detrimental then giving the enemy a chance at a “second collection” depending on the production level of the power being (re)conquered.

@surfer thanks for that clarification

@tmartin Yes they can.

As the Russian player, continue to stack infantry on Russia and Novgorod. Also, a nice compliment of mobile (ie: tanks and mechanized infantry with movement 2) stationed at Bryansk with your air corp at Novgorod makes a nice counter-attack force that can hit nearly every territory along the Eastern front.

For Germany, by turn 4, that player may have wanted to consider buying more mechanized infantry earlier, and more consistently, as it allows fresh troops to catch up with the asualt eastward, preserving your high value tanks up to the gates of Moscow. It also allows you to capitalize on gaps in soviet defenses to blitz through (tanks + mech inf) in order to unbalance and pose new threats to the Soviets.

Enjoy!

Thank you! I just wanted to let you know of my progress. I certainly tried to do all of that in earlier games, but for one reason or another, it didn’t work well enough to net an Axis win.

Hi @The-Janus

You raise some interesting questions. One thing to remember about the Unit roster, is that Europe came out after Pacific and they were meant to be played together.

Obviously Europe as a stand alone plays differently and you can House Rule any units you’d like. The Captains House Rules address some roster changes considering price and function.
Although for the Global game, you may find it interesting.
