Question regarding Invasion of U.S.A.

@creeping-deth87:

… I think it’s just an old holdover from Anniversary or something.

Yes indeed, it has been an Anniversary rule. Starting from Spring 1942 the refund rule has been implemented.

Perhaps my explanation in the video was confusing in that sense, my goal was to help people use the rule properly, but yes… the hits are applied to the convoy zone, and it’s the total value of the adjacent territories that cap the damage.

@BJCard:

Read up on what they are doing on a KAF strag on AA1940 Pacific.  I am merely suggesting to couple that with a Germany faking sealion and attacking the USA mainland with 20+ units the same turn Japan is attacking the USA mainland with 20+ units and 20+ planes.

The trick to this, is to go for Gibraltar G2, or sometimes G3, and feign like you are going into the med.  The americans sometimes don’t pay attention and forget that you can reach washington from Gibraltar.  then BOOM you get to land in EUS and CUS. and they are done.  So long as the Canadians can’t liberate them…

This guy know what he speaks!

Welcome, legdog420!

Why would they wait, and miss out on all those juicy IPCs?  I can’t think of a reason.

At any rate, the US is eligible to declare war starting at the beginning of its third Collect Income phase.  If it fails to do so at that point, it may do so at the beginning of the Combat Move phase of any of its subsequent turns, just like everyone else.

The rules specifically state on page 34 that UK NO IPCs go to the Europe economy, and there is no provision in the rules for any IPCs to be transferred between the two economies under any circumstances.

You are right.  You cannot have fully loaded transports.  However, you can have 5 or 6 transports sitting on the coast with all the troops and tanks and artillery and mech inf just waiting.  It makes the Germans keep an eye on the US and slam everything into USSR or UK.  It is a great deterrent.

@Get:

can they build a Minor IC then upgrade it to a Major IC, since the rules do not state anything about upgrading it to a Major IC.

Upgrading a minor to major on foreign soil still counts as building a major, so with the new rules Korea is the only location Japan can build a major anywhere in the world.

Or Japan, assuming it falls and is retaken.

Congo by that time had been, actually, a Belgian colony. And sake of the German made their attack on France through Belgium, the Germans conquered it. The Belgian government went to exile, just guess where to? Righty O! London! As the Netherlands, as France, as etc. pepe. That´s it I guess.

better now? ;)
