On my map, the St. Laurence Seaway connects Ottawa to Sea Zone 21.

@sjelso It can not.

Concur.

He did say that he thought they should be able to build rail into a neutral but not into another major power’s territory without permission.

@turndown4rip Wow…this needs an example in the rule book. So easy to overlook and go with instinct from A&A.

Another fine example of being wrongly influenced by Axis and Allies in this game. In A&A Global, the submarines have first strike on each round of naval combat. Thanks for the clarification GHG.

@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.

@GeneralHandGrenade thanks guys I am a big fan ghg love your vids.
