Poland Conquest

[abulbulian]

trying to understand while Poland is not conquered

- have all cities but a port in Polish corridor with Polish ships (can't take because of bug with overrunning naval units in NetPlay still exist in 1.050. Game will crash [:(]

- Russian has not entered Poland yet (guessing this is reason Poland still alive)


So do I need to take all Polish hexes? or just cities or?

Rules as coded don't do great job explaining complete conquest..

"when a major or minor country no longer controls its own or aligned home country, it has been completed conquered"

Sounds like all home country hexes??)

To conquer Poland you must have Lodz and Warsaw (the capital and any printed factories) in the conquest step, which takes place during the end of turn phase. You can not conquer anyone in the middle of a turn; only at the end of a turn. Also, the Russians had better get a unit into Poland quickly; once Poland is conquered, the Russians lose their chance to take eastern Poland.

If it is the conquest step, you own Lodz and Warsaw, and Poland is not conquered, then there is a bug, but I suspect you simply haven't reached the conquest step yet. To be clear, the conquest step happens once in a turn, after all impulses are over with. It is one of the last things to happen in a turn. If you have not built new units yet, you have not reached the conquest step.

ok, it's still between phases and the turn has not ended. Thanks very much as this explains. It's my own fault for not noticing when the conquest step occurs. The documentation is very detailed here.
