I think use only Alpha 3.9 Europe NOs, as we should presume US needs extra IPs to compete against Japan. I know this makes for a poorer US, but think it historically correct and just. I would rather have seen Central US on Pacific map, so giving US lower non war income, then raising it 10 after DOW. Incidentally, what do you think about Russia/Japan? Should the 18 Inf be on the Pacific map, to force a Japanese garrison  of Manchuria and Korea until Turn 3 or 4? Allow air to fight China, but then return in non combat. Turn 3 or 4 remove Russian units and lift ban on Japanese movement. I also believe US fleet should not be allowed to hide by Australia until a DOW, as Japan cannot go West otherwise for fear of losing the Carolines.

how do people deal with russia in Pacific only with A3.9? I would like to see the 18 inf on the board and force Japan to garrison both Korea and Manchuria for 2 turns, then remove Russians and release Japanese forces. Perhaps Air units could fight and return in non combat.

I too  had thougth of halving their money when not at war, so like your idea of giving it all if it is saved until attacked. Still think capital ships should only be built where a sea base exists and no major factory be built where  a minor one does not start(Norway and Romania}.

I strongly believe the US should not collect income until attacked and am happy with their set up in a3. Once attacked, or T3,  they should get a massive bonus, either a one off, or perhaps simply doubling the A3 revisions would suffice.

Thank you both. Do either of you think the US, and possibly Russia, should have IPCs and movements frozen until attacked? This would better reflect axis surprise attacks.

thank you. I have not heard of this alpha.Where do i find it? I also thought to reflect US’ unpreparedness for war(and unwillingness for one) that perhaps a freeze on their IPC collection, until attacked, was appropriate. To a lesser extent russia too.I  also wonder if they should be able to move and, therefore, prepare at all. This, i believe, keeps both attacks a surprise and gives both axis a reason not to attack. To compensate, a one off bonus could be given once attacked

I love A&A and Global 1940 is my favourite. Unfortunately, i have a problem with the factory rule. I believe buying a major factory and placing on a 3 anywhere makes no sense and ruins the game. The US could land in Korea and 1 turn later 10 tanks or ships could appear. Game over. I find it ridiculous that an industrial complex to rival the East or West US, the Ruhr or the UK could spring up in 1 turn(6 months), when these regions have needed 100 years to build up. The older A&A rules on IPC unit building worked. Perhaps capital ship building could also be restricted to factories with naval bases too.
