Axis Trigger Rolls- Cairo and Sinai
« on: December 12, 2006, 04:04:30 PM »
Q: If the Axis conquers Cairo, a trigger roll is made for Turkey and for Spain to join the Axis cause.  It seems to then state that if the Axis conquer the Sinai (while still in control of Cairo) another set of rolls is made to trigger Turkey and Spain.

My question is: What happens if the Axis take the Sinai first and then take Cairo? 

Do they get a set of trigger rolls to satisfy the 'Cairo only' condition and then a set of rolls for the 'Cairo and Sinai' condition? 

Or do they only get one set of trigger rolls because they took the two territories in what would seem to be the reverse order? 

And if it is only one set of rolls, is it the 'Cairo only' condition rolls or the 'Cairo and Sinai' condition rolls?


Once again it is a debate between the "Strict" and "Loose" interpretations of how the information is written in the rules.

You get 2 sets of rolls - because you have fufilled 2 SEPERATE triggers. (even though it is being done by taking one space.)

1) You get taking Cairo rolls of 1 for Turkey and Spain.
2) If they do not trigger - you get the Cairo/Sinai rolls of 2 or less for Turkey and/or Spain.

John interpretted this correctly - you still get to toll for the trigger - you just get to roll for both of them at once if Cairo falls after the Sinai.

This is something else I'll try to make a little bit more clear in a future edit or errata.
