USA upgrading factories

@kmtnt the last turn of the game the 50 IPP thing wont be in play anymore because the US will be at wartime income. they should be able to declare war on any nation they wish (although we know the case with Italy) , but also as others have stated: if the US is threatened by Italy (and attacked) they can easily respond.

@timothy-gengarella But there is nothing to stop you from added more factories in Manchuria but because Japan has naval supremacy in that region. It is smarted to just shuck with transports from the homeland.

I didn’t come to the conclusion that GHG was involved more in play testing and what not with V3 because of a simple reference in the rule book that doesn’t actually tell you what each person did and how much they really were involved. I came to the conclusion because of the title of the video I last linked.

yes it is I - drum1dude hahaha

@noneshallpass Your write-up is the definitive reference for Axis players deciding how to approach a Declaration of War on the Dutch!

@trig I assume they can too. They have to be able to defend themselves after all and they have very few land units.

Oh no, not confusing at all. Was truly just an assumption made haha. But you are right that there are very specific movement rules from A&A Global. I’m sure that at least in part colored my assumptions.

Playing the USA is a bit tricky. It’s really a different situation based on how the Axis go about things (mostly with Japan, if they go for a straight takeover of china, or going for dutch, etc.)

I’ve noticed that especially if you do the 1936 setup, that it’s important that the USA focuses it’s early turns on ground forces. The factories can keep up no problem earlier on, and it starts with an OK navy. Later when they start making more, they can easily build up transports, and be ready to throw it’s forces in right away when the war starts, especially if the Atlantic is under control.

I’ve noticed otherwise that it’s hard to compete with the Japanese navy, especially if the campaigns are going well for them in China and other places. I’ve started coordinating with England to put a large part of their overall navy into the pacific to really put a dent into their forces in order for the USA to finish them off well.

That’s what I’ve gotten to understand from the few games that I’ve played.
