Factory building

[scampb]

Holy crap batman it’s been a long while since I have been on here.  I see a new A&A game is coming out…sweet.

Anyway, rules say major factory can be built on territory with 3 or higher under your control from the beginning of the game.  Does that mean Japan can build a major complex in Kwangsu since they control it at the beginning of the game?

Hopefully someone can answer quickly, game in progress…

Thanks all.

major factories can only be built on original territories. kiangsu is originally chinese.

the only major factory japan can build is in korea.

[allweneedislove]

the only majors that can be built in the game are

germany: norway, lowlands, greater south germany, slovakia/hungary, romania
ussr: none
japan: korea
usa: none
china: none
uk: none
india: malaysia
italy: south italy
anzac: none
france: south france

ussr, usa, china, uk and anzac can not build major factories. but do not worry allies, india and france can.

just to nitpic, USA can build a major IC in easter, central and wester US. it is just incredably stupid since they get upgraded for free as soon as us goes to war.

and UK can build a major IC in kwangtung, but again, incredably stupid :)

I think Germany can build one on Holland/Belgium, too.

…but I think it makes neither sense. :)

yes i see where i went wrong. i typed lowlands, instead of low countries. but the game uses holland/belgium.

Oh, sorry, i didn´t understand “lowlands”…

I believe all the replies apply to Alpha 3 and 2nd ed which is what most here play.  In 1st ed OOB Germany itself starts with a minor factory that can be upgraded.  Actually, I think in 1st ed OOB that you can build a major in ANY 3 ipc+ territory.
