So true, how often I have gotten so use to collecting 55 IPC’s as the USA player that I forget to collect any additional IPC’s later in the game if I take a DEI country or recapture the Phillipines.
United States National Objectives and Bonus Income
-
How Much IPC income does the US collect EACH turn once it is at war with japan? 17ipc for territories + 45ipc for all National Objectives? total of 62 IPC’s?

Hi and welcome to the forum, Corybraum.
America could receive 45 in National Objectives, if it owns all the necessary territories. This would give it 62 to spend. Chances are, if it is at war, it won’t own the Philippines (loss of 5).
You must check it has all the relevant territories. -
So just to clarify the US would collect 62 IPC every turn assuming it maintained control of all the necessary territories. Reason I am asking is because I keep seeing something about a one time bonus of 30 IPC’s when japan declares war on the US and I am wondering if that is the same bonus 30 for holding the “Western United States. Theme: Major shift from peacetime to wartime economy.”
-
That is right: 62 a turn.
That 30 IPCs bonus is a different issue.
As you said, that is a one time payment American receives when attacked unprovoked. -
Thank you for the clarification and the welcome.
