Where’s the original link to this info?
I haven’t actually seen confirmation of this anywhere on LH’s site yet.
USA could be 80 or 100 IPC, it really depends on what the other countries are going to start with.

Well, yeah. I understand the amount of IPCs is really relative to the whole of the game, but it can’t go up too much or it will make the cheaper pieces too commonplace, though I suppose with all the newer expensive pieces it’s probably necessary for the overall game economy.

And now there are more territories to occupy.
Oh my goodness. You chaps are complaining about it! Have you seen the board? Have you playtested it? I am convinced that there is a way around J1 attack.
I have not seen the actual global board, since I am not an official playtester, nor am I a chimp employed by WOTC, so I coudnt possible have seen it, butt based on my deep analyzes I figure the J1 attack will break the global game too. I will now quit playing A&A and start mountain climbing full time and hope you all will join me.

Sounds good.

I am going to miss you and all of your alter-egos.
J1 attack wont break the game because
J1 attack activates US in the atlantic, making UK likeley impossible to take on G2+
J1 attack activates US economy 1-2 turns before Germany and Italy are ready to deal with
Japan can not leave Manchuria/Korea empty as in most J1 attacks because there will be russians on the border.

Yupyup.
That total of 6 IPC’s between Manchuria and Korea represents an extra two Soviet Inf or a tank for Germany to deal with, so the Glorious Union isn’t going to hesitate taking it for free. Not to mention there will be Russian infantry coming in to help out China. The presence of a potential 5th opponent for Japan in the Pacific (and a relatively rich one at that) is going to force them into being a lot more conservative.
This doesn’t even touch the issue of how much stronger the USA can be in the Pacific with those extra IPCs.

If I’m Russia I might take Korea and build a minor ic there. That would really help the Uk on the main land with japan fighting a two front war.
Dear god, considering the way things start out in europe, with France STILL ON THE BOARD G1, I’m assuming Japan doesn’t want to upset the applecart the first round. At least not in Global. Too many things Germany/Italy need to do to get setup the first few rounds; not to mention a possible Sealion/Baltic fleet strategy. And clearing out the Med.
Germany could still get a lot done with US activating round 1; but they’d better start hauling ass towards Russia ASAP if Japan attacks J1 anyway. Russia won’t be setup very well yet on the first round; but with troops stationed in Siberia he’ll have nothing better to do with them but invade Manchuria.
Hell, keeping US neutral till round 3 is probably going to be the best strategy in Global from here on out; nothing the Axis can take in the first three rounds is going to be equivalent to 2 rounds of +30 war income NOs for the US. Axis is going to need any bit of help it can get once the US is able to place 80 IPCs worth of units on the board each round.
Agreed.
This was true in the war also. Hitler was very upset that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor before they got Europe wrapped up.
