America could build a minor IC on Ireland? Thoughts?

But Ireland has no IPC value, so no, USA couldn’t do that unfortunately. Also, I can’t think of many good reasons for them to want one there anyway.

If you want one in that vicinity that is (more or less) safe from Germany, try Norway…

@AndrewAAGamer said in Allies IC Question:

So first off, let me say, that unless France went poorly, and I lost too many units, I always take Normandy on G2. So, this is kind of a new line of thought for me.

It should not be new to you. I’ve been preaching it at IP games and here on the forums since 2016. Here’s an article where I specifically mention not taking Normandy:

No, you can only place major IC’s on originally owned territory of that power. So Germany could place is on norway since they originally owned it but no other power could since…well it’s Germany’s original territory.

The combined UK economy could always upgrade the Calcutta minor, like a tax on 1st turn purchases to prevent radical changes to first turn moves. The important thing is the UK Pacific economy wouldn’t collapse if Calcutta fell.

@larrymarx:

It has occurred to me that a good way to balance this game would be to simply remove the Chinese movement restrictions. It would allow more options for the Allies to reinforce Calcutta or Moscow or to refocus on the European theater sooner.

And it would give good reason for Japan or any Axis force for that matter to destroy China since China is the only nation that cannot be truly destroyed.

I have started buying an IC in Manchuria on J1, along with 2 transports. I find it so valuable in getting China eliminated and gone from the game. I then build 2 mechs and a tank on J2. They can reach anywhere in China on J4, except Sikang. Life is good for Japan if the Chinese are bottled up in western Tibet!

It is also nice to be able to build transports in SZ19 so that they are out of range from the Hawaiian fleet.

It’s on page 20 of the Europe 2e manual, last paragraph:

Any industrial complex, air base, and/or naval base located in the captured territory is now controlled by your side (see “Liberating a Territory,” on the next page). If you capture an industrial complex, you can’t mobilize new units there until your next turn. **_If you capture a major industrial complex, it is immediately downgraded to a minor one.

This is the only mention I’ve found in the the rules, even though they discuss the damage markers in multiple places. It would have been helpful to reprint that in the unit profiles section._**

@TexCapPrezJimmy:

I don’t think the UK can spare the IPCs, but…

Can UK build a minor IC in W. India, use European theater monies to build land units there, and then walk them east to slow Japan?

If so, this might be a viable strategy to hold off Japan until the cavalry come.

Yes you can build a minor IC in West India with London’s money and send them to East India.
