Gibraltar - Does Axis control and closure deny UK of 6 IPC?

@timothy-gengarella if Germany is at war with GB then the NEI will become british.

@insanehoshi Yes, we are aware the rule state that Blockade is a combat move instead of it being automatic but I was in great position to do it and needed the destroyers just encase the Allies wanted to try a desperate attack against my German navy.

@insanehoshi ok, thanks!

Not only is it not prohibited, it is made possible by the rules.

The Free France NRS (v3.2) states: “Free France is a Minor Power formed on the surrender of France. It is at war with all nations France was at war with.”

In addition, since the Axis can declare war on any nation, even Italy or Japan may attack Free France if they were not already at war with France.

@misck Another option is for UK to build a railway to Aby. Then you can use the British major port.

@GeneralHandGrenade Thanks GHG! And just to reiterate again, I was referencing the V2 rules, as I stated in my post. I’m not surprised the V3 might have issues too, as they are not finalized.

But my post mentioned that V2 reference sheets had a lot of issues, and in the past HBG has said on their Global War page that the rule book itself should be relied upon in the event that there were discrepancies with the reference sheets.

I’m not speaking to V3 in any way here, as that would not be helpful given they aren’t even finalized sheets! But thanks for the info, I’ll be sure to check out your video!

I pointed out the inconsistency in the phrasing if this rule to the designer writing the final draft of the rules. The phrasing has been changed to the Netherlands become British AFTER the combat phase in the first turn that they have been attacked. This means of course that you would want to attack with Japan first and then take out the capital with the Germans on the next turn to avoid giving the US 5D12 for Japan declaring war on the Commonwealth.

@Wildcat6305 Thank you for confirming! I was 99% sure. This is my brothers first time playing, so he’s had his own opinions on what some of the rules mean, so I’ve had to explain a lot.

Yeah, that’s why I wanted to specify that Yugoslavia and Greece had also been attacked. He starts the game at war with Abyssinia, and Albania isn’t technically an attack, so I knew those didn’t count.
