In my current campaign as Germany I have invaded Britain and captured all it's potential capitals. No city is now marked as a capital in the British Isles.

Britain hasn't surrendered, but I can't identify where it's capital has moved to.

How can I tell where the capitasl has moved to?

And how can I force Britain to surrender? (the Russians are coming!!)

Of course I'm only a .500 player so maybe consider that as a suggestion, not a mandate! :)

On my doorstep? On my doorstep?? They kicked it in and are in the hallway!

In my game Ottawa and Canberra are both showing the same (i.e. capitol). But they are the capitals of Canada and Australia respectively and there's nothing to show either has become Britains national capitol :(

Hehe well the Japanese just Pearl Harboured the US, so I'm hoping the pressure will ease (for now)

Look for national borders. When the capitol moves to Canada most of Canada becomes UK territory with a small amount still held by Canada so it has two capitols. One for the UK and one for Canada. Not sure about Australia. I have never seen the UK move their capitol there.

It is not how much you kill technically. Each unit of that power still in the home country adds a cumulative modifier to resist surrender. I believe it is about 7% each in major powers and 14% in minors. This is rechecked every turn. In some cases (mostly the Soviets) surrender might be impossible even if you take all their capitols if they have enough units hidden elsewhere. Then you definitely have to go hunting.
