Stated advantages per 3.32: UK bonus in agenda phase so playing a high card should guarantee or boost chances of winning it. At the cost of a card you might want to use later of course. IN the middle level card stakes it means that if others play low or medium the UK probably wins. USA tiebreaker. Of course all the individual character cards have their advantages, quirks and disadvantages. UK card 3: Cripps moves UK production 5+1 for bonus from middle to 6 spot on UK track. |

C2 Front advances Bob you are going the wrong way in evaluating front rolls. Fronts advance when the d10 roll is less than or equal to the front strength. Also the naval strength is needed for a roll to be made, the modified strength comes from base of 2 +/- the 2s from the OS markers with artillery on them and the axis reserve armies. So the 1 roll means that there was an advance in the Med [1 is less than or equal to 4]. Central Pacific fails. There’s the base 2 strength to the roll with no modifiers [the 4 naval make the roll possible according to 7.72 point 1] and 9 is greater than 2. Similarly SW Pacific has a base of 2 and the roll was 4. |

Production, Pol-Mils and A-Bomb. 6.8. You need to devote a production marker to activate the Pol-Mil marker and get the CN and PA markers. As Bob did. Otherwise the issues just count against your tally when reckoning whether you have won the conference. 6.10 A-Bomb. A production marker does not need to be allocated to activate. If won (so not in middle of table) it automatically generates a roll on the Research Track, which succeeds on a roll of 4-6. Adding a production marker makes the roll succeed on a 3-6. Yes Bob should devote production to a W Europe fleet not A-bomb. |
