Minor factories on capure of territory

@Corperal-Siggy-F said in Tank blitzing through newly conquered territory:

I have a question. Can you go into an unoccupeid unfriendly county with two tanks and than blitz each in a separate unfriendly contries to do combat?

For example go from Ukraine into Rostov with two tanks and then blitz to Volgorod with one tank and intop the Caucasus with the other?

Yep, you sure can.

@Mark-Prinsen Welcome to the forum.

@barnee said in Dutch territories:

Someone will probably quote the rule book for you.

OK then, here are the quotes from the Pacific 1940.2 rulebook:

Page 32 for Transport:
“Loading onto and/or offloading from a transport counts as a land unit’s entire move; it can’t move before loading or after
offloading. Place the land units alongside the transport in the sea zone. If the transport moves in the Noncombat Move phase, any number of units aboard can offload into a single friendly territory.”

Page 38/39 for UK/ANZAC:
"It may, however, take control of Dutch territories (gaining their IPC income) by moving land units into them as a
noncombat movement, as long as they have not yet been captured by an Axis power. "

That an AA Gun does not qualify has been clarified by Krieghund, for example here:

@Soviet-Steamroller That is correct.

@larrymarx:

It has occurred to me that a good way to balance this game would be to simply remove the Chinese movement restrictions. It would allow more options for the Allies to reinforce Calcutta or Moscow or to refocus on the European theater sooner.

And it would give good reason for Japan or any Axis force for that matter to destroy China since China is the only nation that cannot be truly destroyed.

Dido what everyone else said.

You should have the Russian minor in Leningrad and prob Ukraine as well a couple turns after you invade Russia, so there really is no need to spend the IPCs up there for redundancy.

You can buy a second German transport for 7 IPCs (cheaper) and move 2 more units (4 tot) through the Baltic and threaten all Russian territories that boarders the Baltic Sea (or even the White Sea sz 127 if you venture out). Besides threatening multiple territories, transports can be used to reinforce or counter attack as well. A 3rd German transport in the water (with some added fleet) will keep the London in a defensive position in the early/mid game too.

Finally as others pointed out a German IC in Scandinavia will quickly draw the attention of the USA. Norway/Finland is already a target, you really don’t want to magnify it IMO.

Thanks. I will look again next week. (If I remember my password!)
Enjoy your weekend.

either one side says I concede or we take out all the capitols of the respective sides.

Correct.  Minor IC’s are never removed.
And in case you don’t know yet - if a major gets downgraded to a minor and the major has more than 6 damage, the damage is reduced to the maximum for a minor, of 6 damage.
