Al,

The Garrison range for the Middle East is to small.

Based on what I am reading units have to be very close to Cairo, so they can't be in half of Jordan.

It does not say that anywhere. Range should be increase to 10, rather that 6 so the UK can move a little around in the Middle East.

You are correct...I thought air units counted too...but apparently they do not.

But that means the UK can not protect Cyprus without more units, which I guess is okay.
I assumed that units there counted also, and could if the range was increased a bit.

I read the code backwards...it is 6 land units within 10 hexes of Cairo.

BUT the notes should be changed.

Added garrison requirement for Allies in Egypt, Palenstine, and Jorden of 6 "land" units or Italy joins Axis.

Al can you tell me if:

Famagusta (193,18)...
It is within 10 hexes of Cairo(193,8) but does not count towards the 6 units...

I suppose it is not "in Africa" but did not think the distance check could validate a land connection.

Same land area. Doesn't do the UK much good to have a unit on an island if the Italians happily barrel through Egypt.

Thanks...

Was not sure the code could handle same land mass....figured it just looked at a "radius".
Glad it works correctly.
