Liberation of territory

Thanks for the link Ranor, that has some good information in it.

I never said it was realistic.  But it would be nice if Germany does Sea Lion and wins and America liberates, since all battles are technically going on simultaniously anyway, it could be fun.  Besides, just how long does it take to move the treasury from a nation to another nation without the internet?

@carytherage:

Okay. Thanks for informative clearing up of my question.

No problem, it’s why this board exists!

thanks. you clarified it!

You’ve got 3 routes to Moscow.

1. Manchuria>Buryatia>Yakut>Novosibirsk>Moscow

2. Manchuria>China>Sinkiang>Novosibirsk>Moscow

3. Japan>FIC>India>Persia>Kazakh>Moscow

That of course assumes a build of 1 IC in Manchuria which is the safest (notice safe, not necessarily wise) place to build one.

@4thmac:

THe situation:

Germany captures Congo from the Brits early in the game.  Then Berlin falls, with Congo still under the German flag.  Can Japan move a land unit into Congo to take control of that territory and claim it for income?

The Congo technically isn’t “liberated” when Japan moves in.  But Germany can’t do jack squat with it, so does it become idle until one of the Allies comes along?  That would seem crazy since the Allies would presumably benefit from leaving one of their territories under foreign control, because Japan could beat them back and earn income where the Germans could not.

LHTR 1.3 rulebook seems unclear on this issue.  Help!

No.

Germany retains control of the Congo.

Japan can only take the Congo if the Allies recapture the Congo, then Japan recaptures from them.

Empty territories just get blitzed into and out of by Russia for free cash.

The idea here is to stack the territories where they have to either attack with significant resoures or yield them permanently.

Is it you can’t collect income or is it that you don’t go through the collect income phase?  From what I’ve read it looks more like you don’t get to go through the collect income phase than it is, you just can’t get cash.
