Strategic Affects

[unmerged(187858)]

It's been a very long time since I was on the forum, so my apologies if I am going over old ground. In my current game (playing as Germany) the English Channel has fired but the Gibralter and far east navel supremacy effect have both not fired, dispite the fact that all the conditions appear to have been meet. However I am totally confused by what is meant by "control". Spain controls Gibralter and Japan controls all of the far eastern provinces. Now I am aiming for the Finland Gulf effect, I will control the southern bank of the gulf and Leningrad while the Finns will control the northern bank. So my question is what does "control" mean. Thanks in advance for any help :excl:

P.S Forgot to add that Spain and Finland are both in the Axis

Control means you need to control one of those provinces yourself. Also it's effect, not affect.

The tooltip often states two different conditions:
You have to control the required provinces yourself or a member of your alliance is sufficient. If it says you (or nothing specific), another Axis member will not be enough. But very many strategic modifiers also work with allied controlled provinces.

Thanks for clearing that up. Sorry about the spelling mistake, sometimes my typing works faster than what little brain I have left, it's called old age I think
