Is a Major IC Reduced to a Minor IC after been conquered?

@PhillyPlayer

Hi Player

Yea, after you lose your capital you can’t collect any dough until it’s liberated.

Interesting idea, and would make for one hell of a night……but if every power had to take the time to write down every move, it might take a while unless they know short hand LOL. Plus it could even slow things down more in the thinking department because now you have so many more what if’s…  All hands on deck moving units around afterwards could cause a frenzy too (going to need some kind of order).

I know some people do an all axis/all allied turn order, maybe look into that

Yeah, you are probably right about the islands.
I understand what you are getting at about Germany being able to put a Major IC in Norway. I have never put a Major up there, but I have put Minors in Norway before.
The rule states that to place a Major IC, the territory has to be worth 3 or more IPCs and be one of your nation’s original territories. One possible solution would be to use HBG’s 1939 variant map. I think you could still set it up to play 1940 and the only original German territories would actually be IN Germany itself. They couldn’t even place a Major in Romania.

What I thought… just hoping against hope because you don’t take the territory by force.  thanks!

@Noll:

You can’t move in the Atlantic prior to war

I know. I took that into account. That’s why the Atlantic transports will arrive after the Pacific transport.

hmmm, I think the only territories you can land aircraft in and not own is The DEI for ANZAC and UK.  Not sure if you can land an aircraft the turn you take a pro neutral.  I mean its not combat…

It seems every time I get a good idea, I’m forgetting about a rule….

Very true, those fighters are very needed in Defense, as they are stronger in that regard.

Also, I did once have a sucessfull Dunkirk evacuation of my French Fighter from the French battle.  I am pretty sure its a house rule, but the way we usually play is that if there are no attacking air units, then the defending air unit can retreat to a safe territory within its range if it survives the first round of combat.

Of course it did, and my opponent forgot to throw a Stuka at France, so the Dewontine came in very useful for a possible sealion defense and also to land on a carrier later on as a defender.
