Question with US IPC setup

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

Basically, the rulebook says the US has 15 IPCs, but when I count the amount of territories the US has, it’s 17 IPCs. Is this a mistake with the rulebook?

Thank you for responding!

@superbattleshipyamato123 You are correct, the US should have 17 IPCs. This was covered in the FAQ - which used to be on the Avalon Hill website. Used to be, because Marketing got a wild hair and played 52 pickup with their website. There ought to be a law about leaving information links alone. But there’s not.

A direct link to the current version of the 1941 rule book, with (hopefully) all of the errata folded in, is available at:

The errata does not only change the US IPC level, it adds some needed units to the board - in places like the US Atlantic coast, Moscow, and China. See for yourself.

P.S. Found a working deep-link to the FAQ on Avalon’s site, read that first: https://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/ah/AA_1941_FAQ.pdf

Thank you for responding!

My physical rulebook is the same version as the link you put up, I just wanted to clear things up due to the differences between that and the usual online version.

@superbattleshipyamato123 Try reading the FAQ for more about how to properly play '41. There’s more to it than infantry in China and more money for the US.
