Thank you so much for your reply.

That’s the thing, that England did re-take London before the end of its turn, so it collected their money, but Germany retook it on its turn and stole (again) England’s ipcs, so England had again nothing to spend.
So, to resume, is it “correct”, according to the official rules that:
G1- capture London- takes money
E1- no money to buy units, recaptures London, collects income but then:
G2- captures London- takes money
E2- no money to buy units (and we could go on)

Thanks a lot again
P.s. yes, I am playing the Europe only version

Hello, my name is Adrian and I re opened my Axis and Allies Europe 1940 game box more than 10 years after I got it as a present. While playing it nowadays with my wife and tried to learn the best I could all the rules, I got in a sort of loophole while I captured London with Germany. So, according to the rules (as I understand them), I got all 29 IPC’s of England, as it didn’t get the chance to spend them, it’s turn being after Germany’s. All good and well until England (played by my wife) re-captured London and at the end of its turn collected 29 IPC’S. But it didn’t get the chance to purchase any units on its next turn, as when Germany’s turn came around, you guessed it- I re-re-captured London. So here we didn’t know anymore if:
1- did Germany get again England’s IPC’S for the second time?
2- can this get repeated in a loop with England at a huge disadvantage being after Germany, and thus when it comes around for its “buying reinforcements” turn, they can buy nothing, because Germany captured London, but then England recaptures London, collects income just for Germany to steal the very next turn?

I hope I was clear and you understand the sequence I was trying to explain, if not, I will try to simplify it in a layer post.

Thanks for whoever will be replying and clarifying this loophole for me and thanks for making this forum. I completely love this game!

Adrian
