In the campaign game, what will happen if the Allied player uses his Evacuation card? Will all BEF units simply vanish from the Continent, like magic, regardless of their current whereabouts, as long as they have a clear path to an evacuation point? This is how i interpret the manual.

pretty sad that no one can answer this. Is that the state of this game?

The forum seem a bit ... well, dead. Unfortunately, we started playing this game rather late. Now people are pre-occupied with the Barbarossa version.

Anyway, I like to know wether we need to have a house rule here?

I played until this card appeared and it seems that it lifts 20,000 British troops off the continent each turn. It works very well and is clever. Play the card, point to a evacuation point, and the RN will extricate this number of troops (or the amount present in the chosen hex). It seems that the units taken off is random, so if one prefers to save certain units before others, one better not have non-derirable units in the hex at the time of extrication.

Good rule; could have been better explained.

This game rocks (if everyone excuse the somewhat juvenile expression). [:)]

My general sense is to maybe just post Blitzkrieg questions in the Case Blue forums. A lot of people (including me), are still playing WtP, but I think most of the forum activity on the system has migrated over to the new one. You probably would be able to get much quicker answers, and I doubt anyone would really object.

Nice idea. Thanks.
