This is a really cool idea, using the supply tokens to represent aid from US to it’s allies. You could do something similar for China with the Burma Road, although I’m not sure how easy it would be to get US supply tokens clear over to India (or possibly Burma while still in Allied hands) so they could be transported up into China.
Question: Is there a limit to how many supply tokens can go on a truck or a transport ship? In BOTB, each truck can carry up to 6 supply tokens. Would that seem good for this game as well? Since transport ships could obviously carry more than trucks, I would think their limit would be higher, but how much? Now, I realize that in this game 1 truck piece isn’t just 1 truck but a whole fleet of trucks.
Suggestion for transport ships: You could go by the maximum IPC amount that transports can carry which would be 1 tank + 1 Infantry = 9 IPCs. Since supply tokens cost 1 IPC each, the maximum load on a transport would be 9 supply tokens. If we keep trucks at 6 tokens max, in that case you would need at least 2 trucks to haul a full transport load to the Moscow IC.
Another Question: If the US sent some supply tokens to Great Britain, the UK could cash them in immediately without using any trucks, correct? Also, could these supply tokens be cashed in at ANY IC, or just the capital? For example, could USSR use the tokens at the Leningrad IC?
