IC damage when captured

I’m with ghr.  The strength of Russian infantry is in their mass, not left to die in a 33% that they take out an Axis Infantry with them.

I was not referring to DEI, but thanx that clarifies that also.  I was referring to the European friendly nuetrals & Eggman cleared that up for me.  Thanx.

@Black:

Does Germany has to pay the 17ipc to upgrade the IC again? or does that happens automatically?

Germany must pay.  The cost is 20 IPCs.

@Black:

btw: Paris becomes a Minor IC as soon is taken by Germany, right?

Yes.

@leddux:

@Krieghund:

@leddux:

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

No.

They changed that rule.

@Frontovik:

@Krieghund:

Territories with Chinese symbols printed on them are original Chinese territories, so Japan may not build major ICs on them.

so it just leaves Korea for an IC?

Yup.  It leaves Korea for a MAJOR IC.  As stated above, Minors can still be placed in foreign soil.

Why do you think it’s better in Germany?

Well the boost helps alot if you want to attack Russia on G2 (G3) while they are “weak”.
(Need to build an IC in Romania or upgrade the one in Germany)
Let Italy taking Paris means (for me) to delay moving Italian troops to the Balkans and Cairo.

I like to conquor Arfica, but the sooner this is done the sooner the Italian forces can help in Europe.

For me africa ends at cario, the simple goal is to hold it and prepare for the US fleet to come. The logistics and troops for invading terriotories south of sahra didn´t´t pay off in IPC or strategic value. Only endless coasts you cannot defend.

Sandbagging means not playing your best - purposely weighing yourself down.  If you want t keep Sea Lion an option, Japan shouldn’t declare war till turn four (maybe three).

Understand it, thx for clarification

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