Interesting strategy…

Questions:

(UK India): Why not put AA-guns and some infantry in Yunnan to support the Chinese?

(ANZAC): Do you use the fighters “locally”, or send them to Yunnan/Moscow?

(US): No land/naval units for the European theater? How about some subs for convoying Italy in SZ97?

(Russia): Your reasoning for sending Moscow’s AA-guns to China, is that they can have greater impact in the Chinese theater compared to Moscow?

Thanks for sharing.

No bid.

You can do so only in continental America

You can ‘annex’ Brazil giving you +2 IPC’s.

Is there any reason why China lacks a capital?

China doesn’t have a capital in the Board game version of AAG40

No, you’re exactly right.  The explanation you are referring to appears to have been overlooked in the changes since OOB.  There was a time when a sub did 2 IPC’s worth of damage, but you are correct that it could do between 0 and 6 IPC’s of damage in Z97 as shown in the example.

Welcome to the boards!  Hopefully you’ll grace us with more of your thoughtful posts in the future.

Thank you for clearing this up  :-)

Question about convoying:

It is explained in the European manual page 24 that a sub in SZ97 can cost Italy up to 2 IPCs. This confuses me.

There are 8 IPC’s (Northern Italy, Southern Italy & Albania) worth of territories bordering SZ97, so in theory a single sub can cost 6 IPC’s (two dice rolls * 3). Italy can max loose 8 IPC’s from SZ97. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.
