The problem is the US won’t be able to do anything with those transports off Gibraltar because the axis will be able to counter attack the allied ground forces almost anywhere they land. Not only that if you move to land in say Southern France, now your transports are woefully out of position. Also Russia just gets absolutely creamed in this version by Germany and Italy’s can opening ability. You need to have US send a steady stream of 18 ground a turn into Europe. That is 9 transports off Gib landing in Spain, and 9 transports off Eastern US getting ready to pick up the land units for the next turn. Good players won’t let you land in a beneficial spot for the allies without significant loss of tempo from moving your transports and fleet way out of position.
How do US Industrial Centers start in Europe vs. Global rules?
-
Are the Industrial Centers in the United States limited to “minor” status in just the Global rules? If I am playing just the European side of the war, can the US Industrial Centers start with “major” status? Seems like the rules are written such that they are limited only to “minor” status when playing under Global rules.

Right, in “Europe” they start as “major”, in “Global” they start as “minor”.

Thanks for the confirmation!!!
