Does your house require 2 purchases of 12 IPCs…or does one purchase constitute a start and stop point.

I only really see this benefiting Russia in Global 40 as a way to get those 18 infantry / 2 AAA guns back to Moscow real quick.

[Johnson73]

(1) payment of (12) or two of (6).

-Japan uses them with the vast territory of China and Russia
-Germany to the front line in Russia
-Germany to Southern Itlay for transport to Africa
-UK, South Africa to Egypt

If you play with any of the varients, that have more territory , these can be more useful
