Yeah, the person who said it just weakens the UK and makes SeaLion more likely is 100% correct :-o
Dispersing the UK income just means it has less resilience to Axis attacks, i.e. it falls into the “I can’t buy anything useful this turn so I’ll just save money” category. This gives the Axis continuous initiative. Similarly, at 10IPCs or less for Canada etc, they can’t huy anything useful either. 1 DD in the Atlantic per turn will just get killed off by lucky German Subs and Bombers.
Even worse, this splits the attacks of the Allies. Previously you may have had 3-4 Allied DDs in the Atlantic operating as a nasty ASW force. Now you will have 1-2 each, making each attack weaker.
I can’t believe the designers didn’t think of this, and if they did, what was their superior justification? :?
