When does the US recieve the extra 40 IPC?

@Krieghund

Thank you for clarifying!

@lotuk said in US IPC Bonus (Looking for Affirmation):

But why wouldn’t the US then also get the 30 IPC bonus income for holding western US at the start of their turn? (getting 60 bonus IPC).

The 30 IPCs for controlling Western United States, unlike the one-time bonus for an unprovoked declaration of war by Japan, is from a National Objective. It, like all National Objective income, is collected in the Collect Income phase (at the end) of the power’s turn.

The rules for declaring war state that it’s technically not required if they declared war on you “as the two powers are already at war” (see below extract from page 11). Though I feel like this must excludes the US and they must “declare war” during their combat move despite already being at war?

No, it’s not necessary.

I summed this up in case anyone was interested… this includes AAA so it may be a bit skewed.

Japan: 556        +26 income
USA: 203          +17 income
UK: 106            +16 income
ANZAC: 84        +10 income
China: 61          +12 income

I believe you are correct.  The “bonus” 30 the US gets when it’s attacked early is to compensate for not having extra money while “at war during collect income”, for example:

The US is attacked turn 2, gets 30 IPCs immediately so they have that to spend when it becomes their turn.  If this were NOT the case, then the US would only have their initial 30 IPCs to spend during “war time” which wouldn’t make sense.

This is how I understand it.

Highest I’ve seen without taking capitals is 60’s

@P@nther:

Why don’t you just use the information to be found here on this site.

See for example:

http://www.axisandallies.org/p/whats-new-in-axis-allies-pacific-1940-and-europe-1940-second-editions/

In this article you find even links to the new setup charts.

So no reason to “ARG”.
:-)

Thanks, this is what I was looking for.  Why isn’t this a sticky in this forum section?

It’s not like I don’t look around for stuff like this.

Being deep into a game of global with the wrong setup is definitely reason to go ARG.

oops, it seems ive been cheating by rushing my Mech infantry and Tank to Alaska as US every US 1.

Thank you for the quick response.
