@sunkhareb said in Simon (Alliex+19) vs Sunkhareb (Axis) BM:
holy moly… shockingly bad dice lol
-3 Luftwaffe but you won all the important battles and kept the BB. Only lost inf in France. So could be worse.
It’s a special relationship between UK/ANZAC and Dutch
USA can’t take control of Dutch
Page 38, 39 of Europe manual,
No such statement under USA
PtV did not change this rule from OOB, that I know of @Adam514
Thank you for the quick reply.
According to p. 9 of the Pacific Rules: The US (or any power) can capture and control a Dutch territory after Japan has done so, but this implies via a CM.
Thank you - In this particular game Japan has not been bold enough to attack that far away from the mainland!, but thank you for the clarification - I might need it later in the game! :-)
To be sure,
USA can land on or occupy Dutch territory in noncombat movement, just can’t take control
Haven’t played OOB in years. Seeing bids +45 etc… seems crazy.
@666 AndrewAAgamer gets the credit for that! We at Allied HQ thank him for giving us a fighting chance. How it went on so long with those low bids is a testimony to how comfortable players here are with the Axis winning most of the time.

Can we ask the follow up question, does this make sense? We have bm and yg and bb. I can’t get the play tester hat off no matter how hard I try.

It does to some degree because it stops USA from coming in and claiming Dutch New Guinea in particular, then being able to put a naval base down there. I don’t mind the rule the way it is.
@simon33 And yet t.here’s a 45 to 60 ipc bid

That isn’t because of the custodianship rules though.
@simon33 But it’s an easy common-sense fix.

What do you mean? USA should be able to take the money islands?
My understanding is that the US can take control of a Dutch territory after the Japanese seize control.
@ArtofWar1947 I would amend the rule to say the US take control after declaration of war or a state of war is declared between the western alliance and Japanese empire
There will be a third edition someday I believe so remember the rule you do not get what you do not ask for.
@crockett36 Inside info, or personal prediction?
@mikawagunichi personal prediction.

It is slower than the second coming. Looks like they have stopped work on it.
