British withdrawal from the war - 6/22/2007 10:00:00 PM

I have read that it is possible to kick Britain out of the war by taking Karachi and Bombay.
Question is: what does this mean in a game terms?
Is this automatic after fall of Karachi and Bombay?

Thank You All!

-F-

If taken the reinforcements stack up. I think the same applies to Australia and China, but I dont think it appliese the Dutch or Phillipines or Kiwis. It's been a while since I read that part of the manual, so its possible I may have remembered that wrong.

I believe if the extended map is used, Aden is an alternate British reinforcement port.

This makes it possible to own all of India for the japs, but the brits still have a realistic chance to get back into the game. But then, it's just what it's been meant for...

I actually recommend that Aden is untoucable, but that Panama is fair game. That forces the Allies to actually garrison it. Alternatively, if you play with a house rule that Panama is untouchable, I suggest that the Allied player also be prohibited from moving any of the Panama garrison (land or air units) out.
