Is there anyone building ICs in the game?

[rocknroll]

after trying some time in playing and studying the game - actually i still did not try yet alpha2+ etc. -, i made the conclusion that only italy or the US should build an IC.

• italy in egypt, just for delaying recapture as long as possible. this means, built in round 2, at latest, round 3. in later rounds it would be waste of money.
• US in norway, if they should not take normandy/bordeaux.
• for germany it is not worth to build any IC, troops are more valuable. therefor i would not consider building one in romania, yugoslavia, or anywhere else before conquering russia.
• russia has enough of ICs and the UK as well.

I recently played my first alpha 2 game, and it did at much needed balance too the game buy lessening of the American war time economy. Also with the addition of infantry and fodder to the german war machine. Anyways, in a regular A&A Europe 1940, if the axis don’t have the game won on turn six is practically impossible. This is because on turn seven, even an incompetent USA player will have enough amassed force to destroy a province and gain a foothold in europe which is the end. The only chance Germany would have is if they control russia and have all their forces in france and central europe.
