IPCs to print?

@Private-Mike No. this one-time bonus is part of the Pacific ruleset, only.

You have the original box or the 2nd edition box?

30 ipcs one time bonus for USA in Pacific only, + your vc bonus

For global you just make the VC bonus at the end of round 3 and you are at war at the end of your turn. If the axis throw you into war before that you get your  VC bonus that round. Lots of Japan players dow round 1 now a days, I always j1 dow and it has been 100 games since I did a j2 dow. I got no patience and I hate waiting :)

Nice work Chriss179.

well i just got the older Pacific and Europe yesterday. i guess ill just print off the new rules when they come out ( tomorrow supposedly )

In Alpha +2, UK Europe starts with 28 IPCs and UK Pacific starts with 17 IPCs.

I posted them at BoardGameGeek, they are done in Excel 2007. I just hope those Alpha bonuses don’t change anymore :-D

@djarnen:

So… in the case that UK takes Rome, while London is held by the Germans, the money from Rome would not go to Calcutta, because its on the Europe side of the board ?

Then let ANZAC take Rome, they know how to use that money, man.

The other issue is that Japan in the global game has nothing to do until turn 3 either, so this could seriously backfire.

The Japanese player simply has to say “if you declare war on me it’s gonna cost you Siberia” and the Japanese make a serious push into Russia with all his planes and Russia is screwed.  Buys the Pacific allies some time but may cost you Russia.
