Can IPC credit get lend to China to fund the war effort?
No, rulebook page 10:
China and its units are controlled by one of the Allied
players, but for game purposes it is considered a separate
power and its resources cannot be mixed with those of
other Allied powers.
Thanks for the clarification on that, I have only played one game and I was Allies and was wondering about that cause the Japan player could easily plane snipe the Flying Tigers in China if he had the range and effectively kill China’s offensive capabilities.
A major sticking point among my friends in playing Axis and Allies is the wait time between turns.
What about having a combined purchase phase for all players?
And use markers for each IC (like fleet markers) to position purchases awaiting placement.
