fight. The new capital location receives the nation’s income and

otherwise functions as if it were the old capital. 9.20 still applies.

Dutch Territories: When the Axis declares war on the Netherlands, place a British roundel

on all Dutch territories. Britain receives all income from these once at war. The British player

may, when collecting income distribute the income from Dutch territories between Great

Britain, the Far East Command and the ANZAC as he sees fit.

Canadian Factory: Great Britain may receive lend-lease money and equipment from the

United States at any Canadian Major Factory site. Britain may build Major Factories in

Canada.

Island Nation: Britain’s ability to get IPP from outside the home nation can be blocked if at

least 3 surface warships are in each sea zone that contains a naval base/shipyard. In this

case Britain only receives income from England and receives no bonus income. All other

income is lost. Convoy raiding may not further reduce Great Britain’s income until the blockade

is lifted.

Colonial Infantry: The British may build colonial units any of its Colonies (British starting

territories that are not part of the Home Country). These units are regular infantry and can

move and attack. No factory is required to build these units. Britain may build a total of two

infantry per turn. The zone they are built in must have a point value.

war on another nation during the game.

The Comintern Yes, but only if the USA is at war with the Comintern.

USA, France,

Nationalist China No

Can Britain Lend-Lease to:

Answer:

Any Nation Yes, once Great Britain is at war with the same Major

Power as receiving nation.

FEC/ANZAC No

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

* The Allies have to pay 10 IPP to declare war on a non-Aligned Minor Power. Allied powers

that are Aligned to each other can share in the cost.
