@Andy_Dandy:

Well, in too many games I’ve played there has been 0% of the IPC vs Japan……

That is because in order to conduct an effective campaign one must invest in a large expensive navy for very little IPC gain. It is far easier to establish a foothold in Europe and take care of Japan later.

@idk_iam_swiss:

who wastes IPC on subs?

for convoys ;)

One option is - in global rules - to have only a limited factory in West USA. I don´t know how this reflects history, but I am sure that the solution to many of these problems is in an alternate setup.

What kind of limits are we talking about above and beyond the 10 pieces.

In the Euro game I guess Germany may have the option to attack the US (or at least its convoys) to bring them in before the auto war kicks in at the end of the 3rd round.

AAE40 Auto war. Now that’s something I will complain about….

Anyway, now at least with the US income not being split it provides a solid motivation for the Germans to DOW on the US.

What is DOW?

I believe it stands for Declaration Of War.

Odd I thought I already confirmed that…
Anyway, thanks both of you for answering on my behalf.
