I agree with Simon about the use of US transports in the Pacific. You wipe out the Japanese navy and take back the islands and the mainland. Shuck your troops to Europe and take out Germany and Italy. Japan will be forced to surrender. You know, just like WW2. Unless the Japanese player has been smoking crack you will spend all day assaulting Tokyo while Germany makes mincemeat out of Russia and the UK.
Minor factories on capure of territory
-
If you capture a territory with a minor factory do you keep that factory or is it removed?
-
Yes, with one exception. If the factory is on a chinese territory and the Allies capture it it is removed.
If a MAJOR factory is captured, you downgrade it to a minor (this is assuming Alpha 2, 3, or 2nd edition rules)
If you play the rules that came with first edition ignore me. I can’t remember those. :-)
