IC damage when captured

@Panther Thanks for clarifying. It may be best not to even include a carrier with a guest fighter when attacking.

@Caesar:

Does the rules actually say what happens to a major that is bombed out so bad that downgrading will automatically destroy it due to having more damage than what a minor can hold or are we just applying logic here? Because if that’s the case, you might want to welcome the enemy to bomb your factory if you’re going to lose it.

Pg 21 Europe 2nd ed rulebook
“Any damage previously inflicted on a facility remains in
place until it is repaired (any damage markers beyond 6
on former major industrial complexes are removed).”

@BillyMack57:

The Norway IC supplies its own troops to fight off nasty incursions from east and west and
bringing pressure on northern USSR while the airbase brings extra scramble ability to SZ112 fleet and the ever hopeful Sealion - admittedly not turn 3-4 but maybe later. Still thinking it through.

You will have no choice but to reinforce it sometime by sea or air because once all three allies come down on it and they will, I promise you ten infantry per turn is nothing.

Three (3).  It won’t be a major complex until after place new units.

Looks like I have played it wrong a couple of times! Thanks for the swift clarification guys!

@leddux:

can you upgrade the minor complexes to major status paying the 20 IPCs while still neutral?

No.

They changed that rule.

Your understanding is correct, MarkVIIIMarc.  However, in scenario 2 the UK player has no casualty options that won’t result in stranding the fighter.  Since sub hits must be taken on sea units, the only casualty options are the one you chose or taking both hits on the carrier, dooming both fighters.  At any rate, taking the hit on the carrier and stranding the fighter is always an option.

You can only take control of an ally’s territory if it has already been captured by an enemy
