36 Days till E-Day

Normally in a game of Axis and Allies France will be taken by the Germans and thus the Germans loot their money. But I was curious.

Could Germany send in less units but sill take France and allow the other mainland units to survive. France then could counter attack and regain control of the capital. Would they then collect money at the end of their turn? If so Germany could collect frances money two times.

I may have messed up the rules if so let me know.

@surfer thanks for that clarification

Thanks WarDog @Krieghund !

I haven’t been able to post a map picture, but after thinking about it more, additional context of the German army disposition in nearby territories could impact the decision as well, as they would be the next power in theater to move. If France taking Kaz’ would prevent any armored and mechanized forces from Novosibirsk moving through Kaz’ into the Caucasus, it may be woth sacrificing the 1 IPC income to prevent Germany from securing a 5 IPC bonus. Always multiple points of context to consider, which makes for a very rich gameplay.

@tmartin Yes they can.

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.
