@M36 Thanks for responding. That’s the way I’ve always played it, but paragraph 3 of step 7. Conclude Combat in the General Combat rules section reads as follows: “If you have captured the territory, place your control marker on the territory and adjust the national production levels. Your national production increases by the value of the captured territory; the loser’s production decreases by the same amount.” This is out of the Europe and pacific 1940 rule book. It reads like you would make the adjustment at the conclusion of combat. I could be reading too much into it, but it would make a big difference in game play.

Thanks for clarifying. So in previous versions of AA the on board tracking chart represented IPC. In Global AA it only represents the National Production, not IPC’s. So it would be adjusted for gain/loss of territory only. You would not use it for tracking additional income like bonus income, convoy losses, or NO’s. That is tracked on the worksheet in the back of the rule book. After 35 years of playing this game I’m still learning new stuff. Thanks again.

I’m new to the forum (not to A&A) but I have a noob question. The way the rulebook reads about taking territories, when you take a territory you immediately gain those IPC’s and mark them on the IPC track. Does the opposing player also immediately lose those IPC’s? Ex: Japan goes before China. If Japan were to take the 4 territories adjacent to them on the first turn, would China lose those 4 IPC’s and then only have 8 IPC to start their turn, 12-4=8 IPC for the lost territories taken during Japan’s turn?
