British Colonial Troops

[Bern]

Sorry if I'm being a bit of a nuisance but having had answers to the convoy question has raised this issue in my mind. No doubt things will be clarified later in a game, but I prefer to have things clear afore I get too far.

It's almost certainly me, but I can't get my head around how the game deals with, for example, the Canadian troops who should make a fairly early appearance, or the various 'colonial' nationalities who fought in N. Africa and so on.

If I play with AI controlled Brit Cols, do these troops appear automatically at an appropriate stage? or -

If I play human Brit Cols, do I have to purchase these units and then transport from the B/C port?

Colonial troops will appear under the British banner sooner or later.
There is doubt that the Britain far more needs the PP than troops.

The troops in the British Colonies hex, SW corner of map, are not used, and that is not the source for what you will later have as colonial/commonwealth troops.


By event, you will get certain such troops placed in your deploy box. Some of these can be deployed in the UK, some in Egypt. You can't build ANZAC troops, for instance, but will see some appear in the deploy box at the appropriate time.

Many thanks. I will see how this opens up later in the game.

question on the subject of british colonies map area i have ap transports and also regular transports how do i land on that place ive been there for 5 turns and cant unload for some reason any help plz thanks

I don't believe you can. We made it that way on purpose. It represents India, Africa, Dutch East Indies area.

You are not able to capture it. It is only there to send convoys to England.

This is how we can represent the Naval warfare in WW2 and the starving of Great Britain.

You are not able to land there. This single hex represents all British Colonies and as Razz said is going to make Battle for Atlantic more attractive.
