No, you can only place major IC’s on originally owned territory of that power. So Germany could place is on norway since they originally owned it but no other power could since…well it’s Germany’s original territory.
@SS-GEN It is a very good game. At least 40% of the rules are relating to optional units. Most people play with most optional units, but a lot of people play the vanilla version.
Yep! Hit Spain and Turkey at the same time. You are obviously not going to DOW neutrals if Italy has Egypt / middle east or if Japan is a monster. At the same time you are not going to Norway either under those conditions either.
Spain is a perfect shuck, easy to defend port, and you only have 1 fleet to defend. Great way to close out the game.
As I have explained before, the reason Chinese movement is limited is to reflect the historical fact that China was also embroiled in a civil war (Nationalists versus Communists) at the same time that it was fighting the Japanese invaders. As such, it had little interest in matters outside its own borders (keeping the Burma Road open for Allied aid being an obvious exception). This restriction keeps China from influencing the game outside of its borders without having complicated rules to represent the impact of this conflict.
Don’t forget about the warlord factions!:) Sure they were nominally supportive of Chaing but he had to keep a decent force back just to police his ‘allies’.
