IC’s can be upgraded after all repair is paid. Can be done in the same turn?

@Panther Thanks!

@taamvan:

Even with 24 income for 4 or more turns, they don’t need to produce more than 3 units.   a battleship and a strategic bomber cost 32 and that’s only 2 units….

If the Aussies are buying battleships, they’re either doing something terribly wrong or they’re doing something terribly right.

@Faramir:

Why is there the rule that industrial complexes cannot be built on islands, even if the island meets the IPC requirements? You should at least be allowed to build minor ICs on islands.

Because a minor on PI if Japan doesn’t declare war is OP for the US.  Instead of 3 moves from the islands, they are now in the middle of it.

The transports can retreat, but they can’t unload.

@Krieghund:

This should probably be addressed in the FAQ, as the intent was that those general rules should apply.

Should definitely!  :-)

@calvinhobbesliker:

US builds Major in Norway, Japan in Manchuria, Malaya, UK in West India

West India can only support a minor IC

“Taranto Raid” refers to the November 1940 assault by the United Kingdom on the Italian navy, docked at Taranto.

It’s often used on this forum to describe a first-turn attack by the UK on Italy’s Mediterranean fleet.

This gives Japan a huge incentive to invade Russia the round that Germany invades in order to deny the Russians that NO, and in so doing changes the outcome of our AAP 40 games where Japan has no need to worry about Russia.  So, while this rule is outrageous it could also aid the Allies by forcing Japan to change the current script of a J3/4 taking of India.
