Deployment to Cyprus
-
Hello everyone, I am only on my second game and still coming up to speed. A question please, Page 25 of the rule book explicitly calls out that the Axis, in addition to deploying in convoys and the Italy staging area, they can also deploy Air and AAA units to Sicily, Sardinia (ignoring it is spelt Sardina on the map), and especially useful, to Crete. But I see no similar reference that the UK can deploy AAA and Air in Cyprus. I think they should be able to, to provide balance to the Axis options and to get air units into the fight more quickly. If not, what is the UK roundel there for? How do you guys play it? What are your thoughts on the topic. Thanks

Oh gosh I never noticed Sardinia being misspelled on the map! Just a proofing error I guess. Lucky that it’s a very unimportant territory for the game.
I think the design is very clear here. Forces sent to the Western Desert have to go through the long multi-turn pipe-line to reach Egypt. Otherwise, air units can be placed in Gibraltar (though the stacking limits are very restrictive) or they can be added to any of the active Allied convoy zones, including the permanent one by Malta. Allowing UK air units to be placed at Cyprus would be a balance change in favor of the UK, you could play with it as a house rule but I think it was excluded intentionally.
