I’ve made unit adjustments, and non-combat moves, as well as new unit placements. Japan collects 43 IPC’s.
A couple of questions and clarifications: I picked up 2 Infantry in Siam with a TT, dropping them off in Kwangsi, wanted to make sure I could move into SZ37 on non-com? Also moved 2 BB from SZ36 to SZ34, wanted to make sure I could move through SZ35 on non-com? And last, on factory placements, I had the thinking of the old way of placement, looking for optimal economical value of a territory. I just wanted to make sure that I could have placed a Minor IC in Kwangsi and not Kiangsu, disregarding the territory value?
Thank you Stalingradski for help on the above. And now onto the USA.
Yes - SZ37 is ok for you to move into, if you have eligible movement left.
Yes, battleships can move through SZ35 when you’re not at war (or even if you were - no surface ships there).
And on IC placements, a 2 or 3 IPC (or more + non-island) territory can take an IC. Majors are very limited now… Japan can only build a major on Korea, and everything else is limited to a minor. So, the Mancurian IC will always be limited to a production of 3 units.
U.S.!
US 2 purchases Carrier, Transport, Sub, 2 Fighters, Infantry = 52 IPCs.
NCM, place, collect 52 IPCs.

They’re staring down the barrel of the Japanese gun.

Sorry, the map for continued combat.
Units adjusted & placed, all non-com done. Germany collects 54 IPC’s at turn 3 end. Thus Germany thrust into bloody conflict by their unyielding Italian allies.
USSR…
I was just checking the map, and it appears that my placements were not saved. I have revised the map, and it now shows my 10 Infantry placement in Germany, along with 3 U-boats in SZ105, and 1 Destroyer in SZ93.
I am sorry for the confusion.
J - SZ109 is protected by an airbase - I could have scrambled 3 fighters into the SZ. Based on what you brought, I would have. All the rest of the battles should stay as they are, but please redo SZ109. You’ll need to bring enough stuff to make sure I don’t want to scramble… :)
I’m sorry about that. I had it stuck in my head that you could only scramble if I had brought in some air power of my own. However, I had already committed the Luftwaffe to Eastern front actions, and its too late to redo those. So, scramble away and I’ll commit with what I had originally.
Again, I apologize for that. Now the scramble rules will be aptly applied to my future moves.
Here is the combat for SZ109 with your 3 scrambled Fighters, along with the Destroyer. I have the Cruiser & 1 U-boat.

I’m not sure what unit you want to lose, as it can be either a Fighter or the Destroyer, since my Cruiser made the hit. Just let me know and I can adjust the map accordingly.
