I’ve made unit adjustments, and non-combat moves, as well as new unit placements. Japan collects 43 IPC’s.
A couple of questions and clarifications: I picked up 2 Infantry in Siam with a TT, dropping them off in Kwangsi, wanted to make sure I could move into SZ37 on non-com? Also moved 2 BB from SZ36 to SZ34, wanted to make sure I could move through SZ35 on non-com? And last, on factory placements, I had the thinking of the old way of placement, looking for optimal economical value of a territory. I just wanted to make sure that I could have placed a Minor IC in Kwangsi and not Kiangsu, disregarding the territory value?
Thank you Stalingradski for help on the above. And now onto the USA.
-
Yes - SZ37 is ok for you to move into, if you have eligible movement left.
Yes, battleships can move through SZ35 when you’re not at war (or even if you were - no surface ships there).
And on IC placements, a 2 or 3 IPC (or more + non-island) territory can take an IC. Majors are very limited now… Japan can only build a major on Korea, and everything else is limited to a minor. So, the Mancurian IC will always be limited to a production of 3 units.
U.S.!

US 2 purchases Carrier, Transport, Sub, 2 Fighters, Infantry = 52 IPCs.
