Hi there,
i simply want to confirm if my understanding is correct.

All US industrial complex start the game as Minor for Global only?

If playing Europe OR Pacific theater alone they start as Major as shown on deployment charts.

Am i correct?

@Soviet-Steamroller That is correct.
Don't always trust TripleA when it comes to rules questions. Know the rules before you start … and better check what TripleA has done.

Thank you all for the replies! I was the USSR and France in an Allied Victory. The Axis player waited to attack all of the major powers until round three and by that time we were too built up for him to push very far into one area.

there is only an indirect link.
a 1 (or 0) ipc terr cant get a factory, and thus cant produce anything
a 2 ipc terr cant get a major factory, an is thus limited to 3 units produced
a 3 or more terr can build a major IC an is limited to 10 units produced (this is only a limitation for eastern and central USA with production of 12 and 20 ipcs)

@Omega1759:

@ErwinRommel:

You can try to “mirror” the �� airforce and fleet (you need some amount of trannies) and park it at carolines. Dont build ground force with anzac, only fleet and air. Pick up every money island you can. Trade trannies with japan.

No ground at all with Anzac at all? It seems like a good idea to keep some ground to prevent a “shoot for the 6th victory city”, as well as troops to contest the islands.

The Anzac fleet is only useful for blockers / attrition battles / adding defensive punch to the US fleet. That is useful, but it is important to stay alive and contest the money Island.

All warships from America including loaded carriers and transports, all in Queens land. Get the Philippines back with enough to hold the sea zone. purchase lots of loaded transports for ANZAC and land them in the Philippines for support, along with all three starting ANZAC fighters for scramble opportunity.

Very interesting. Always seem to be learning something new about this game. We have always gone on the assumption that until the US is actively at war, they can not land troops or planes on an Allied country because they are not technically Allies yet. Of course, once the USA is dragged into war on either side, they DOW on all Axis anyway so they can land anywhere that is Allied. We’ve never had a game where USA did not DOW on all the Axis. Still, an interesting theoretical problem.

Thanks for your answers kcdzim.

Thanks for responding so quickly Jennifer. Actually, ANZAC is at war with Germany and Italy at the beginning of the game and USA just declared war on ALL Axis. So, both powers are at war and should be considered Allies, even though ANZAC is not yet at war with Japan. I know it’s a technicality and probably a very grey area, but I talked it over with my gaming buddies and while we all agree that it’s kind of an odd loophole, we think it is a legal move. So, that’s what we are going with. Thanks anyway. Really appreciate your advice and quick answers.

Correct. However, the “home territories” NO will most likely be changed to 10 IPCs.

Can us and uk share sea zone before US is at war?
