Hey Beevus…Alberta DOES border Central US!!!

@SuperbattleshipYamato
nice, lol

Sounds like an official answer ;)
Thanks a lot!

The problem is the US won’t be able to do anything with those transports off Gibraltar because the axis will be able to counter attack the allied ground forces almost anywhere they land. Not only that if you move to land in say Southern France, now your transports are woefully out of position. Also Russia just gets absolutely creamed in this version by Germany and Italy’s can opening ability. You need to have US send a steady stream of 18 ground a turn into Europe. That is 9 transports off Gib landing in Spain, and 9 transports off Eastern US getting ready to pick up the land units for the next turn. Good players won’t let you land in a beneficial spot for the allies without significant loss of tempo from moving your transports and fleet way out of position.

Thanks for the confirmation!!!

1. Yes, the US can’t make combat moves or move next to Europe/Africa on its 3rd turn

2. Other than the US, all DOWs are at the beginning of the combat move phase

beauty, thanks Krieg!

We have a house rule where the allies can only produce minor industries in foreign soil.  I believe someone else has mentioned this as well.  We also don’t give the Russians the 2 free infantry every round when at war.  The game is much more balanced with these rules in place.  Without these rules there is no way the axis can win against a good player as the allies.

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