Sounds like an official answer ;)
Thanks a lot!
Idea for US
-
I think this is a good idea as it may force the Axis to declare war on US sooner than they would like to.

GOOD POINT!
-
but before the US declare war they only have like 20 ipcs. Why would they want to there little ipcs on the UK when they have to get ready for war
-
20 ipc? No, probably around 30
Remember, they have 17 in the Pacific. If CUS and EUS, I would expect at least 10 more ipc.

USA and UK are on the same team, so if you can get pieces into the action sooner by lending them to those already at war, why wouldn’t you?

Exactly. Good point, BD.

And Including Brazil, panama, the west indies? change that 10 to like 22-25 bringing the U.S. to about 40 plus national objectives. That’s pretty hefty for a neutral power.

The Americans building British (or Soviet units) and placing them in the US is a great idea. It could easily be a House Rule. Remember the US “traded” 50 WWI DDs to the UK for naval bases. Lots of equipment got funneled through Canada even before Lend Lease was official. The US congress adopted a cash and carry policy in September, 1939, in which war material was sold to the Allies. It required the buying nation to pick up the war material in an American port so that the belligerent nation assumed the risk of German U-boats. This was replaced by Lend-Lease in March of 1941, in particular because China didn’t have ready cash. Lend-lease continued throughout the war. The UK also provided lend-lease on a lessor scale and Canada provided lend-lease to the UK, on a much lessor scale. Lend-lease could be a general rule, not just one that just applied to the US. (Canada also provided lend-lease to the Soviets.)

Yes definitely this is not only a good idea for US, but for any country with a strong economy.
