Why no dutch as own power if liberated?

@mikemikemike

yes you do. If you liberate, then you will collect income at end of turn, so if somebody whacks your Capital again before you can spend it, you lose the money again.

@Wittmann Thanks :)

There’s two things I think a bid should always be used for:
1 art in Kweichow - if you hit in Hunan J1, you can take down a good portion of the Japanese ground troops on counter attack
1 sub in SZ98 (the Med) or is it SZ99?

Others are mostly nice to have - 1art in Alexandria helps the the Tobruk crush, 1art in Sudan helps the Ethiopia crush. An art in Karelia helps the Finish push. 1inf in New Guinea helps to gain the NO.

The question should be: What if France is liberated and can’t immediately taken back?

If this is the case this is a big achievement for the Allies in case the can get the French to produce units.

However this does not mean that the game is over then. I have seen several Axis wins after a temporary liberation of France.

Japan needs 6 VCs in the Pacific to win, all the allies need to do is Protect Honalulu and Sydney while building more than the Japs.

I like to play Russia, followed by Germany.

@mantlefan:

It’s a different situation becuase Non UK/ANZAC allies can only move in after Japan has.

This is not exactly true.  It’s a different situation because they aren’t neutral territories.  Allied powers other than UK/ANZAC (when at war) can move into Dutch territories under Dutch control - they just can’t take control of them.

Yeah, that is correct.
