@Stucifer Makes sense to me! Sorry for the hassle - was going based on the wording of the Rules and the BM Rules. I saw that Axis-Dom had the same interpretation that I did (that air units aren’t land units), so it’s good to have it settled by the game designers!

Are you ok with me making changes to the US Pacific non-combat move, and re-doing the Anzac combat turn? There wouldn’t be any combat that we’d have to roll for, thankfully.

@axis-dominion Fair enough - this is my 9th game of PTV, I think, so I’ll have to see how it plays out. But sitting in Yugo, you’d be able to wipe out any territory next door, which means I can’t commit too many troops to any territory (or suffer a massive TUV hit), and if I don’t protect the surrounding territories, then Russia is earning 70+. Russia earning more than Germany, and entrenched in SE Europe, is end-game for Axis (at least, it is in BM). From my perspective, I didn’t have much of a choice.
