AXIS AND ALLIES PACIFIC GAMEPLAY MANUAL
22
Liberating Allied Territories: If an Allied country
originally controlled the captured territory, control returns to the original owner not the liberator.
Note: Convoy routes (associated with the territory) may remain in enemy control.
B. Remove surviving units from the battle board
and place them in the newly acquired territory.
C. Any antiaircraft gun or Industrial Complex in
the territory remain, but now belong to the
attacker.
Manchuria, Shantung and Korea: If the Allies capture any of these territories, the territory is now
controlled by China.
Siam and French Indo-China: If the Allies capture
either of these territories, the NCMs are allocated
as follows:
• If Britain captures the territory, the British
player always places an India NCM.
• If a mixed force of American and Chinese
ground units captures the territory, choose
either country to place a NCM there.
Convoy Routes and Convoy Centers
As stated earlier, sea zones are not captured,
controlled or affected by the outcome of a battle.
However, convoy routes and convoy centers within
a sea zone can be successfully held by a defender
or captured by an attacker.
If, during combat movement, you move a naval
unit (except a transport) through or into an
empty sea zone containing a convoy route or
convoy center, you take control of that route
or center.
Note: Submarines that begin a turn in an empty
sea zone containing an enemy convoy route or
convoy center may spend one of their two moves
to remain in the sea zone and take control of it
before using their second move to go to an adjacent sea zone.
Following a Battle
• If the attacker is destroyed, withdraws and/or
submerges, then no change of control is
made to the convoy route or convoy center.
• If the attacker and the defender are both
destroyed and/or submerge, then no change
of control is made to the convoy route or
convoy center.
• If the defender is destroyed, the attacker may
take control of the convoy route or center, as
long as the attacker has a surviving warship. If
planes, transports or submerged submarines
remain as the attacker’s only surviving units,
then control of the convoy route or center
does not change.
• If all remaining units cannot attack each
other, the attacker may take control of the
convoy route or center if he has submarines
present that have not submerged. If his only
remaining units are aircraft, then control of
the convoy route or center does not change.
Taking Control of a Convoy Route or Convoy
Center
If, after a battle, you take control of a convoy
route or center, do the following in Phase 5:
A. Remove the defender’s marker, if applicable,
and place one of your own markers on the space.
(You don’t have to place a marker if the convoy
route or convoy center was originally one of
yours.)
B. Remove surviving units from the battle board
and place them in the space.
C. Adjust the National Production Chart.
Adjusting the National Production Chart
Although you do not collect IPCs until Phase 9,
the National Production Chart (NPC), which monitors income, must be updated as soon as combat
is resolved. The control markers on the NPC are
adjusted as follows:
Convoy Centers
If Japan takes control of a US convoy center, then
the United States’ National Production level is
reduced by the amount shown on the center. If
Japan takes control of a British convoy center,
then the British convoy center’s National
Production level is reduced by the amount shown
on the center.
In either case, Japan’s National production level is
not increased. Japan cannot gain IPC income by
taking control of enemy convoy centers, but can
deny its enemies this income. If an Allied naval
unit liberates a convoy center, then Japan’s NCM
is removed and the British or US National
Production level is increased accordingly.
