minor units and incomlete conquest question   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #103395 of 105503 |
The Netherlands is incompletely conquered on the same turn it is declared on, as
is usually the case. The MIL are placed on the spiral to be placed on the map
during reinforcements next turn. In this case Netherlands wasn't DOWed until
1940, so the Dutch F2 with 1940 on the back is also placed on the spiral along
with the MIL. Since Amsterdam is conquered, obviously the Amsterdam MIL is
removed, but do the Batavia MIL and the F2 get placed in the NEI?

Every game I've ever played has seen the Allied player place the Batavia MIL,
but not the F2. I wondered about this so I checked the rules for the
1,435,854th time and read this line under 13.7.1:

Incomplete conquest
Remove from the game all the conquered home country's land and aircraft units
that are in the conquered home country. Remove from the game all of its land
and aircraft units not on the map.

This indicates to me that the Dutch F2 does not go on the map, but then neither
does the Batavia MIL!

Is this correct? As I stated earlier, every other Allied opponent I've ever
played have added the Batavia MIL to the map (in Batavia) after Amsrterdam was
conquered the previous turn. Can everyone I've ever played (20+ people around
the world) have missed this or I'm I missing something?

Thanks

John

No, all of them are not missing anything. The Batavia Mil is a unit of the NEI minor country, not a unit of the Netherlands. So is the NEI Territorial....

The FTR2 is a unit of the Netherlands; it is removed. The NEI MIL is a unit of the NEI, so it is placed. Similarly, the NEI Territorial remains on the board. ...
