Those conditions are holding Gibraltar as the Axis - if you hold Gibraltar, you don't need to bypass it through Tangier [:)]

Hre is to hoping Harry does rebute this idea - as sound as it may be, it does not make sence to have Vichy give all 4 oil to CW and Japan not being able to attack Vichy or ocupy it as in Indochina. In other words IF the interpitation is correct, I think we've found a glitch in the rules.

Why would Netherlands be completly conquered if its Vichy?
Vichy isn't the conqueror - only the controler - ie. the remains of the Netherlands are alligned to Vichy France, as would be the case if CW or Free France where the controller. At least thats my enterpetation for what its worth

<t> NEI is not neutral if its Vichy - it is Vichy controlled, and Vichy may be neutral - thus Vichy and not CW would get the 2 remaining oil. IF Vichy is hostile (unlikely) & active, then Vichy may lend all or some recources, including the 2 remainging oil to any major poer on the Axis.<br/>

<t> PBEM will be a trade off - if you want full control of every detail in every step, you will be swamped with emails and game would progress very slowly. Each e-mail easely delays a game by one full day in real life if not more. Is the setup of say Belgium important enough to stall the game, just ...

Isnt ZOC negated by the pressence of friendly units? Then we've played it wrong

the second resource has allready been abandoned - it is just a qudtion of walking in - no need to wait for fine weather

Is it required to do this for every country? If not - what happens if there are no standing orders for the DoW?

<t> I'd rather loose Valencia&nbsp;than Malaga&nbsp;if there is chance of the invasion has a stratefic aim (lots of forces ready to exploit the bridgehead)&nbsp;-&nbsp;Valencia&nbsp;doesnt realy lead anywhere - its in the mountains and far from Madrid and furhter still from Gibraltar -&nbsp;If&nbsp ...

<t> The rail-line would become open, if Spain must surrender. If France has fallen, then you need to defend the northern passes. In 40 I cant see spain having more than&nbsp;5 units for the coast, if the threat via the mountains is viable (and an attack via Vichy is not likely) - so where to plase ...

<t> I've never tried to either defend nor invade Spain by sea, but looking at the map, given 3 corps I think I'd place them like this (in order of priority):<br/>
1 corps in Bilbao (protect that factory)<br/>
1 corps in the&nbsp;on the resource-hex&nbsp;(ZOC on two minor ports og Vigo and Ferrol ...

It is true you can not do so, if the CW is not pressed in the Atlantic, and you can't hope to maintain control, if you do not take Gibraltar. l disagree with the ...

<t> I've managed to take Malte and Suez as Italy with only 1 figther borrowed from Germany. Malta was becasue CW left it unguarded and Suez was because the CW had to few units to make a stand in Egypt. <br/>
I'd say given avarage CW play, that would not have happened<br/>

looking forward to that

the 280.000 Germans wasnt disarmed until they reached the German border - they where allowed by theBritish to walk home guns in hand. They then became prisoners of war upon reaching the border.
