purchased a minor ic, as japan,in alaska, on last turn. want to build an air base next turn. not sure if the base counts as one of the three units as per the limit. I would think not since you can place a base anywhere, even without an ic.

I would consider an IC in Romania with a airfield. this would allow you to crank out troops toward Caucuses and not worry about building more than transports in the black sea. with the airfield you can scrambler fighters stationed there in defense and they can be used to attack with ground against Russia.

if I buy an Industrial Complex with Germany, it goes off the Adriatic Sea where I can dump boats to help defend Italy. A Major Complex in Romania sounds great on paper, but I’ve seen it a few times and, in my humble opinion, you are better off getting 10 infantry and walking them down there. Even better, I think, transports in the North Sea as it lets you threaten North Russia, Leningrad, Scotland and England as well as moving off the coast of France.

Just my opinions and observations.

They start with major ICs in Europe 1940 and in Pacific 1940.

Minors that automatically upgrade to major when at war in Global 1940.

Is there anyone building ICs in the game?

I recently played my first alpha 2 game, and it did at much needed balance too the game buy lessening of the American war time economy. Also with the addition of infantry and fodder to the german war machine. Anyways, in a regular A&A Europe 1940, if the axis don’t have the game won on turn six is practically impossible. This is because on turn seven, even an incompetent USA player will have enough amassed force to destroy a province and gain a foothold in europe which is the end. The only chance Germany would have is if they control russia and have all their forces in france and central europe.

Carrier based planes do they count the SZ they are in as movement # 1?

Nope, they start counting the first zone they “move” into.

Remember they are considered air borne at the beginning of the turn so they do not ride on the carrier, they just land on it later.

It’s rather funny because I’ve been thinking the same exact thing as you. Before I knew the official setup, I though Germany would have close to 20 aircrafts… I managed to work on the setup too and, based on the strength of the airforces in Europe (remember that Germany has only 8 aircrafts), I removed even more aircrafts from the Pacific map than you did. Now Japan “only” has 12 aircrafts (this is enough IMO), US 4, India 1, China 1 and ANZAC 1. In order to balance things IPC-wise, I had to remove 8 infantries in Russia along with a few other ones on the allied side. (Look on wikipedia: 5 infantries in Malaya is way too much when compared to the armies in Europe.) I’m gonna try this as soon as possible and see if it’s balanced (and fun…).
