Wartime Economy

There is an updated version with backgrounds in the globalwar36 discord but I cant upload it here as the size exceeds what is allowed.

@timothy-gengarella if Germany is at war with GB then the NEI will become british.

Turkey has to be at war with a major. Every other playable nations with an income that scales has to be at war with a major so no reason for Turkey to be different.

It is one of the golden rules in designing, that rules are intuitively written. Generalization of concepts leads to faster game play and less discussion and looking up rules takes away from gaming time and enjoyment.

For Wartime Economy, the v3 rules specify that « Each turn during its Place Units and Collect Income Phase, the nation rolls 2D6… » and « British Commonwealth may divide the money each turn… » (rule 7.8 & Global War Tech Sheet v3.0).

« Each turn » must mean the same in both sentences, so if you do it by the book, you would divide it between Commonwealth members during that same phase, not set it aside as a pool for the next purchasing phase.

However, in a friendly game, I would probably let the Commonwealth player redistribute the Wartime Economy as needed for purchases to speed things along.

@trig Yeah I think it’s very tricky as the “Once” can be interprated in both ways. If @GeneralHandGrenade could enlighten us, that would be perfect

@Klaykowalski said in Peace time economy:

When does the allied player receive the money? Do they get the bonus IPP’s at start of turn to use to make purchases? Or do they collect that bonus when they collect IPP’s at end of turn?

They get the money in the “Collect income phase” at the end of the turn.
