So can you fortify a capital separately from a territory? Like, if you put infantry in germany can you put separate infantry or fighters just to fortify the capital?
No, the territory Germany is the capital of the nation Germany (== all the grey territories and units). So every unit you put in the territory Germany is defending the capital of the nation Germany, simply because the territory Germany is the the nation Germany’s capital.
Axis and Allies doesn’t detail the map onto city level (which would make the city Berlin the capital of the nation Germany), so it takes territories as capitals, and in the case of the nation Germany, the capital territory is Germany. For the UK, Great-Britain is its capital, for the USA, the territory Eastern US is the capital, for the USSR, the territory Russia is the capital, and for the Japanese, Japan is its capital territory.
A capital territory has all the properties of a regular land territory (it generates ipc’s, it can house land and air units, you can build industrial complexes, you can conquer or loose it etc.), plus it has some special rules which trigger only when a nation looses its capital territory (see above).
@iGuitar93:
Thank you. I don’t know maybe I’m just dumb.
:lol: That would be funny! No, I get the feeling you’re imagining this game in a wrong way, which would make the rulebook seem contradictive. I’m just wondering, is Risk the game which most resembles A&A in your gaming history?
