missing turns

[markleadon]

If a player has a continent - say africa (and should get 3 armies for the continent plus say 4 for his units)...but misses a turn. Next turn, africa is broken into by another player. would he get 8 armies (4 x 2) or 11 armies (8 plus the bonus 3)
thanks

just the 8

That's why it's often a good idea to break their continents if they miss a turn.

He would get 11
4 for his territories for each round, plus 3 for africa, for the first round

[markleadon]

you confused me - which one is it? there seems to be some contradiction. anyone know for sure?

This guys dumb. You would get the 8. Unless they took enough territorys from you that you would only get 3 for your territory then all in all you would get 6. Basiccly you get whatever bonus you should get on that turn x2

Yep, I'm dumb.

I just went and read the rules:
at the start of your turn you get
[(territories ÷ 3, minimum of 3) + continent bonus] x missed turns multiplier + set bonus

I guess I'll have to change my strategy with players who miss turns.
