Strategic Bomber question.

@insanehoshi

yes you are right, i had in my head what happens when Germany declares war on a neutral country.

again, correct about resolving carpet bombing first. my bad.

@noneshallpass It’s another holdover from v2. It it one got +1 IPP/turn from having won the war, not +inf/turn. The V3 way is a little more valuable. :)

@vondox said in Militia questions:

I have a few questions concerning Militia… First, let me start with some rules from HBG…

Militia can be built at a non-factory site up the worth of the IPP value of that land zone. YES

A land zone of 3 IPP in a home country Originally owned territory can generate 3 militia units per turn. or three 1-IPP zones can generate 1 militia each per turn. YES

Question: A medium factory has 3 product slots per turn and it is in a land zone worth two IPPs… So can the player build a total of 5 militia there? 3 from the factory and 2 from the land zone? NO

In a captured land zone the maximum number of Militia units that can be built is always 1, regardless of the IPP value of that land zone. YES

Question: Germany captures all of France and every turn the player invests 10 IPPs to build there. In several turns Germany has built up a sizeable number of militia units. The US invades. Can the German player begin to move the Militia units from land zone to land zone within France? NO Can the German player move Militia units into Germany? NO

My reading of the rules would indicate that if a Militia is raised in Picardy then it must stay in Picardy if it was a Militia unit raised by the Germans. YES

KMT, CCP, Nat Spain and Repub Spain can raise militia in each territory but NONE of them can move to an adjacent territory as part of an attack. YES

Militias raised in land zones by MINOR POWERS can not MOVE out the land zone they are raised. YES
Militias raised in land zones that were conquered by a MAJOR power can NOT move out of the land zone they were raised in YES If YES, can they move in the landzone’s of the HOME AREA they were raised in ( IE… Militia raised by Germany in France can move around in France but not out of France. NO
Militias raised by a nation in their HOME COUNTRY can move about freely ( 1 move per turn ) to any other home country land zone and can participate in attacks on home country land zones with other land units. YES

In short:

Militia can be built up to the IPP value of an Home country territory (Minimum one) and can move within home country. Militia may be build up to the IPP value of a non home country originally possessesed territory (Minimum one) and may not move. ONE militia may be built in any other territory and may not move.

@linkler thanks I didn’t know that.

Ok thank you for that information

@GeneralHandGrenade thanks General, ok so the propaganda marker would allow for one militia to be placed in a newly captured territory, makes more sense that way.

I believe they are trying to accomplish too much in too few of words.

The basic rule for Lend-Lease Supply Path: “Lender’s Major Factory to Receiver’s Home Country.”
Since as you mentioned, FEC is not Home Country it cannot receive Lend-Lease.
Also, FEC’s Capital is technically London, so its Capital cannot be captured.

To compensate for this, the game designers added the exception “The FEC capital is Calcutta for purposes of tracing lend-lease and capture of enemy capitals.”

Meaning that for the FEC Calcutta is duel purpose acting as Home Country in terms of Lend-Lease only, and as their Capital in terms of capturing FEC’s Capital.

IMO, the Rule should be written as “Calcutta is FEC Home Country for purposes of tracing lend-lease, and the FEC Capital for purposes of capture of enemy capitals.”

But to answer your question, the lend-lease to FEC ENDS in Calcutta.
As in normal Lend-Lease rules, if the shortest path of Lend-Lease goes through another Indian Port, then along undamaged railroads to Calcutta, then yes it can go through that Indian port.

They collect separately. Even after the truce, they are separate countries and collect separately.
