@Eggman:
When you say “If Germany drops a Naval base into the territory, it can contribute ships” Doesn’t Germany also have to have an IC there before it can place ships in the SZ during ‘Mobilize units’ phase?
Yes, that is a misstatement. I should have written drops an IC into the territory. You don’t need a Naval Base in Yugoslavia since you can make use of the ones in Italy proper from the same SZ.
Ok thanx, that clarifies & now makes sense.
