ORIGINAL: Harrybanana I like all these changes too. #9 - Spain should become an Allied minor Ally if the Axis invade Portugal as well. Or at a minimum the Spanish forces should be beefed up if this happens. Otherwise we may see a lot of players doing what Comradekorps did in his game with Magicmissile. As is it is too easy for the Axis to knock out Spain in 1 turn if they conquer portugal. #10- I agree with MM that if the Allies control any port in Norway it should either block the iron ore route or at least allow the Allies to raid it. Spain joining the allies would not be correct, the invasion of Portugal is easy to prevent, with 1 or 2 BB on the coast of Portugal is enough. All the changes seem very good to me! Let's see if these don't unbalance the game, I'm looking forward to trying them! Perhaps Spain wouldn't join the Allies, but it would have mobilized its armed forces. I just don't like the fact that with a conquest of Portugal Spain will fall in 1 turn. I did this myself as the Allies (prior to the Rule change) but I felt guilty doing it. The fact that something is easy to prevent doesn't justify it. Its like saying that it shouldn't be illegal for a person to rob my house because I could have just locked my door. You may recall that in our game I kept naval units off the coast of Portugal because I was worried that you were going to do to me what you did to MM. Was that your plan? HarryBanana I respect your opinion, mine is that after the Spanish civil war the situation here was very precarious, if you add the invasion of Portugal and Vichy France, Franco would have asked to please join the Axis, he would avoid war. It is very easy to defend, you do not even need fleets stationed on the coast, the Axis needs a turn at sea before attacking from France, (not from Vichy Afrika, but the Axis would take longer). I wouldn't leave the door open if I was at war! I think you have to prevent, if not, you will have to pay for not doing it. note: It is the first time I do it, in our game I had other plans (which did not go well).
