Question:
Africa only VPs – As a territory can only be conquered in the Entente initial phase, does this imply that Togoland always costs the Entente at least one 10 VP loss, as it may not be
conquered till the start of September?
Answer:
No. Rule 44E2a (Africa-Only VP Awards) in the Over There Game-Specific Rules booklet, says the Entente loses 10 VPs for each turn after Aug 14 in which Togoland is not Entente-conquered. The Entente loses VPs for each turn after Aug 14 in which Togoland is unconquered. If the Entente conquers Togoland before the end of the Sep 14 turn, then Togoland is conquered during Sep I 14 and no VPs are lost. Maybe this would be clearer if “for each turn after Aug 14” were changed to read “for each full turn after Aug 14.
