@DizzKneeLand33:

I quote from the Harris website:

“When the Soviet Union Is at War in Europe:
• 5 IPCs if the convoy in sea zone 125 is free of Axis warships, Archangel is controlled by the Soviet Union, and there are no units belonging to other Allied powers present in any territories originally controlled by the Soviet Union. Theme: National prestige and access to Allied Lend-Lease material.”

So, is a sub now considered a “warship” for this purpose?  :)

Yeah, that was puzzling to me, as well. In AA50, they don’t count as warships for purposes of preventing Italy from getting the NO for controlling the Med. I think it’s because sz125 is a convoy zone which subs interdict automatically no matter what units occupy that sea zone with them.

@DizzKneeLand33:

I only ask because subs do not make a sea zone hostile, right?  Just interesting how the rules are interpreted.  ;)

Well, they do make a sea zone hostile with regard to unescorted TP’s. So I guess the answer is yes and no.

BRB. Taking the dog out for a smoke.

Aces high Philippines?

I figured that’s what you were planning to do with the Russian units in Turkmenistan, but in most games(where Sealion isn’t tried or successful if it’s tried) you’re better off letting the UK claim Persia and only taking Iraq with the Russians since Iraq is the only territory that gives Russia the bonus NO.

In games where Germany doesn’t DOW Russia until G3 or G4 you’ll be letting those units and income sit idle for a long time. Plus, UK can use the income and they’re usually pretty desperate for units down there with Italy coming from one side and Japan coming from the other. Once Japan starts taking the South Pacific Islands, UK Pacific’s income drops sharply. Usually to around 6 or 7. UK Pacific doesn’t get the income since it’s on the Europe map, but they definitely could use the extra infantry. Especially if China is in bad shape or if Japan makes a big move to attack Calcutta.

@DizzKneeLand33:

I was thinking that since Germany didn’t immediately go for Russia’s throat that Russia may have some time to pick up that nickel and dime stuff.  :)

That being said, you raise some interesting points.  The UK was the obvious choice for down there, but of course they have a few issues back home lol.  So, in this case, is it best that Russia go for the extra NO?  I debated that for a while, then decided that this game would be a good reflection to see what happens either way.  Of course, the UK DOES have a pretty good lock on Egypt for a few turns which helps – otherwise it would seem to be an almost irrelevant point as Italy would blast through the whole area…

Yeah, it was the right call. With UK out, Russia needs all the income it can get.
