There is no way to hold India if Japan plays a capture Calcutta at all cost opening strategy. It will fall and Japan will get a bit more income. Meanwhile, they will not be able to control China and will be missing out on big income from Pacific islands. Celebrate if they are putting a huge fleet in SZ39 because ANZAC + China will have huge income for the foreseeable future.
India and IPCs in Europe section

Question: the rulebook states that UK India cannot collect on dollars that “normally” would go to UK England. Does that mean that if India recaptures Persia (formerly pro-allied neutral) from Germany, while London is under Axis control, then IPCs do NOT go to India since those dollars would have “normally” gone to UK England. I know this would not apply to another Allied country recapturing Persia from Germany - aka if the US captures Persia then those dollars go to the US. Is that the right interpretation?
-
I think so. The UK is one country with two economies, not two countries with the same turn. Persia would thus be controlled by the UK, and its money would thus go to the Europe side, which can’t collect it.

That’s my take. It would be interesting from one of the game designers.

Ya, only IPCs on the pacific board go to India and the europe board goes to london.
-
That’s right.
