@panther thanks for the quick reply. I was referring to 1940 Pacific SE. You are absolutely correct though. The US starts off as a Major IC on the original box setup. I have a different organizer now. It only has the global setup custom printout on it. Thanks.

If ANZAC wastes 12 on an IC in New Guinea, Japan will gladly take it from Z35 or 33
-
No I was talking about Dutch New Guinea, where either Japan or US in the right circumstances could build a minor IC if it was valued at 2 ipc.
Edit:
Right now the only options the US has to build an IC is Alaska, Mexico (not much help), Korea, and FIC in Pac. -

Yes, they would.
Also, the US can build factories in Hong Kong and Singapore if Calcutta is Japanese

Are you sure because Delhi it`s self might be in West India, but that is kind of shifting it though, but who knows.
-
Yeah, it’s possible it’s in West India. It’s near the border, so it could be on either side.

The only problem w/building on UK tt when Calcutta is in Jap hands is at some point you may want to liberate India, and your screwed. UK won’t have the $ to spend there, and you would loose the US presents in Asia.
Korea, from what I’ve heard can be a game winner for US if Jap gets caught off guard w/full India press, but building in the same waters as Japan itself sounds kind risky to me (I’ve not seen it). It would have to be in the right circumstances.
I can’t see any reason to build US IC in Mexico, it might be ok for Japan, but that would be really risky too.
A US build on Alaska would get unis a little closer to Japan, but would also paint a bulls eye there for Jap to attack (of coarse that could be a good thing to draw them to US and away from Asia).
FIC seems like it would be good for US to build (minor) but unless you could get UK back on its feet, 3 units/round is not that much.
I think it would be useful to US if it could build a minor IC on Dutch New G just to replace ground troops it may loose in island hopping, or some extra dd’s for the front lines. It could even get a little help from the Anz. It might prove to be tough to hold on to though.

If the US has a factory, I would just take all British tt except India, so the money goes to a power which uses it.

Poor India, anyways US would most likely liberate in a real war, but no your a mean commander Eisenhower, but what would you do with China territories.

You would have no choice but to liberate them (China). US can’t collect the $, and can’t build an IC on Chinese land. You surly don’t want Jap to keep them and collect income. As you res-erect China they get to buy inf again yippee :lol:
-
You can’t build IC’s on islands, Japan being the exception. (Australia a continent)

Actually, you can’t build ICs on Japan either, since it already has one!

Either that or defend american stacks or recapture its tt

As Calvin said, they would most likely reinforce US OR UK units on Chinese tt. I don’t like to put units on the Asian coast line to often, but I will to cost Jap $ or pester them. Jap can usually bombard the crap out of you on the coast w/min ground units (amphib), along w/its air power to wipe you out. If US has naval superiority off coast of Asia (or can counter the Jap fleet), then hell yea have china take the coast. Maybe Jap will take a gamble and go for it, leaving its self vulnerable.

But for an industry in Korea, they would need to get through the Japanese navy, which must be now crippled, and they can not parashoot down, so I do not see why not.

You can’t talk about Chinese and Korea, because the Chinese can’t go to Korea. The only tt China can go in besides tt w/Chines star is Burma & Kwangtung.
A US attempt at Korea is rather risky, even if Jap is going all out on a UK crunch, and doesn’t leave much behind. Jap will also normally cock block you in sz 16 w/dd, so you may not be able to pull it off early in games. Even if you manage to get to Korea (early in games), the Jap air can come back in a turn or so. If they do, or split it up, you may be able to delay India crush, but again Korea is rather risky IMO.
I have had more success moving US though the Aussie conveyor belt. At least you get some support w/Anz, to help def US fleet (save $ and buy Anz carrier). You can 1-2 (sometimes 3 punch w/UK air) the Jap fleet. Keep in mind that allies not only def together, but because of turn order can also more or less attack together now that Jap BB’s and carriers can’t auto fix between allied turns.
