6 IPC Tanks and other unit costs

I believe you are correct.  The “bonus” 30 the US gets when it’s attacked early is to compensate for not having extra money while “at war during collect income”, for example:

The US is attacked turn 2, gets 30 IPCs immediately so they have that to spend when it becomes their turn.  If this were NOT the case, then the US would only have their initial 30 IPCs to spend during “war time” which wouldn’t make sense.

This is how I understand it.

you can take them and increase your ipc total but you cant take their ipcs on hand because of no capital

1. That one always bugged me too.
2.yea that also seemed silly to me because you would think (common sense) that the main transport fleet of a power would right next to the capitol.
3. Yea that seemed silly to me as well by my guess
would be that maybe the placement is historical in nature?
4.  Those has always bugged me even in the first game I played. They were completely out if place to attack were they would be needed.

So your saying the battleship was bullied and forced to kill, but was set free and decides to sit back and lose his incredible strengh, and now only fights for money and is only for rich bastards that can buy whatever they want

okay thats good  :-D

Gwlachmai and I have a game going right in the forum and I am Japan, I’ve made at least one major oversight which he/she capitalized but as I am Japan it still looks good for me at teh moment, as it’s turn 4 and I’ve captured Ind and most of Asia and there is and was NOTHING more he could have done to stop it.  So… no bid means your typicaly losing with the Allies.

I have some questions though, Whitmann, as taking India, and even China is not a game winner.

So you’ve taken India by turn 4.  And?  The Allies don’t have to stop it to still win.

After the necessary number of turns needed to take India & China, America has had more income than Japan on every turn, and the opportunity to buy stuff.  What has America done?

With so much IPCs spent against the UK, I’d imagine you’ve bought practically nothing in terms of navy.

Wouldn’t America have a comparable navy by the time India falls?  Plus they still have a similar sized income.  How do you plan on taking Australia or Hawaii from under such a massive fleet?

Did America squander it all?
What has Australia done since your focus has been on India?

Sorry!

they start with what it says they start with on their setup chart

you collect IPCs from NOs along with normal IPC collection

@Captain:

Ok, so here is my question regarding Mongolia and the infantry value on them.  If Japan attacks Buyan-Uhaa, I as the opposing power has the option of putting 2 of any of the allies men there, as my choice.  So, does that mean I can use Chinese men or does it have to be US, UK, or ANZAC?  If I can use Chinese, can China then move men into it to try to take it back after Japan successfully captures it or can China still not leave China?

Thanks,
Captain Crunch

I’m pretty sure the only reason you use allied infantry is because there are no dedicated mongolian infantry.  If you use chinese infantry to represent them, it doesn’t mean their chinese, so it doesn’t matter which color you use.
