Is there a limit to how many ICs can be placed in the game?

Thank you soooo much. You have no idea how frustrating that has been. I’m sure more problems will come up but you have made this game 10x easier to play now. Thank you again.

The UK holds onto the money, until thier capital is liberated.

At which time, they can then spend it on their next turn, or the begginning of thier turn IF an ally of theirs liberated it.

@Dylan:

I know that land industries have limits like W. US is 10, but does it count when your placing ships, like can you place over 10 ships to an adjacent sea zone?

The unit limit applies to all types of units.

@Mr.Biggg:

Alright, my roommate and I just had another game with what I would called excellent Russian and US play(I was playing axis), and two IC’s were still ultimately unstoppable. Russia traded ground for a while, but in the end Japan couldn’t be held back. US devoted enough Navy to get in and take an undefended Indonesia and build an IC on it, but was retaken by Japan a couple turns later. I need to have a play by forum game against a really good allied player to show me this can really be stopped (without completely ignoring Germany). Hobbes you in?

No play by forum for me. Sorry.

Thanks guys, its a lot clearer now.

:-D

depends on the country… Russia and Germany should probably never buy a complex.
UK… India, Egypt, Norway, Australia, S. Africa
JAPAN… in the 1st round Manchuria and kwangtung
USA… Norway, Sinkinag (in the 2nd Round)

all this depends on the game situation of course

I haven’t played it before.

@habs4life9:

But how would you define “the start of the game”?

I would limit it to those territories that are under Russian control at the time of set-up.  It would not apply to territories that Russia conquers and then loses (recognizing that the rationale of the rule should apply to territories like the Ukraine–but when was the last time the British or Americans captured the Ukraine anyway?).  As a practical matter, the rule tweaking I suggest is intended from preventing the British (primarily) from bailing the Russians out in Karelia.
