I know that this has been asked a few times. I understand that the US immediately receives 30 IPCs for an unprovoked Japanese attack before the US3 Collect Income Phase. What about the national objectives?
Scenario: J1 attack on US and Japan doesn’t take the Philippines or any other US territories. How much IPCs can US spend on US1?
Is it 17 + 30 = 47
OR
17 + 30 + 15 (3 National Objectives) = 62
National Objectives:
5 IPCs if the United States controls both Alaska and
Mexico.
5 IPCs if the United States controls all of the following
territories: Aleutian Islands, Hawaiian Islands, Johnston
Island, Line Islands. Theme: National sovereignty issues.
5 IPCs if the United States controls Philippines.
Theme: Center of American influence in Asia
