No scramble

@Cornwallis Never done it. But Brazil is worth 2 IPCs, so if the ANZACs have the money, they could buy a factory.

That said, not sure of the value added…The Americans can dominate the Atlantic if they desire, and the ANZACs need to focus on the south pacific. Shipping lots of resources to the Atlantic seems like a recipe for invasion. Perhaps if the US is strong in the Pacific, then you can send units to the Atlantic. But seems like the US is better situated to do that in the first place, rather than spending several turns to get a transport to Brazil.

@mikawagunichi Well, you definitely simplified the Italian turn.
