US Wartime Economy Second Edition Renegade Games

Thanks @Stucifer, @SuperbattleshipYamato
& @Krieghund. I suspected that was the case but was really hoping it wasn’t.

Problem with UK /China and US/ANZAC is that US is way bigger than UK and ANZAC is bigger than China.

Morning Alexkoepp and welcome to the forum.

The US does, indeed, collect a bonus of 30 whilst at war with Japan. You will discover it needs this income or will not stand a chance fighting Japan. India and Anzac will be struggling on 3-10 income a turn, whilst Japan is collecting 60-70.
America is all that is stopping Japan from winning. The income boost represents the East Coast, which is not represented in Pacific.

I hope I have helped.

@Krieghund:

Income is collected in the Collect Income phase.  If the US is attacked by Japan on J1, the US will still have 17 IPCs to spend on US1.

Thank you for the quick response.

That is what I thought (how we have been playing), just needed a confirmation. There was a heated debate last night.  :lol:

Correct, you get the $ at the END of turn 3.  You can’t attack until turn 4 unless Japan kicks it off early.

Yeah but it wouldn’t be any fun, don’t cut off your nose to spite your face, if you get what I mean.

WOW…now that is an interesting turn of events for the global game…should be VERY fascinating

Can American land units enter British and Anzac territories prior to a state of war between the US and Japan?
