• It can be confusing because of the difference between “originally owned” and "originally controlled (at the beginning of the game). The national symbols on the countries indicate original ownership whereas the colored borders are there to indicate the original occupation for the purposes of determining IPC should your IPC chart become incorrect, or if you are like us and just toss the IPC chart out the window because somehow it is always wrong every game (I have no idea how, but it happens, so we just calculate IPC at the end of every turn).

    LOL we do the exact same thing.  Writing the amounts on a sheet of paper is so much easier.

    Thanks for the clarification, all!  So, in essence the only Major IC that Japan can buy is Korea… in fact, there are only a few places in the world where a Major IC can be built, and even fewer where it would make any sense whatsoever… ;)

    Yep, its really only korea some german terr and sita that you can have a new major (im not counting france or obvious reasons).  US does not really need to upgrade early.

    I’m wary of building any kind of industrial in China.  If Allies take the IC, it is destroyed and you’ll have to build it all over again.

    Pfftp…

    IF you’re going to build yourself a debt star. Make sure you leave a legion of your best troops in the forest to protect the sheild generator.

    Then your journey to the dark side will be complete.

    Fuzzy dice always trump the Axis. :P


  • Is it diffent if u place a minor in an orginally controll terro, or a newly caputere 1 ? I mean if it got 2 IPC value, can u only build 2 units ? Or 3 in both ? Hope u get my question!

    minor ICs can build 3.  Major ICs can build 10.  value of the territory only determines if you can place an IC there or not, it does not determine the capacity of the IC itself.
