What happens to France's IPC's after it's fall??

You get to spend all of your starting money at the start of your first turn. At the end of your first turn you get the IPC value of all of the territories you control (plus the value of every National Objective met). That money from the end of your first turn will be your starting money at the start of your second turn. Continue until game ends.

Rulebook says:

When Germany Is at War with the Soviet Union:
• 5 IPCs per territory if Germany controls Novgorod (Leningrad), Volgograd (Stalingrad), and/or Russia (Moscow).
Theme: High strategic and propaganda value.

The “or” indicates that it is 5 IPC per territory. Be it one , two or three.

if you count the regular income from all nations together you come up to 149 IPCs. With the national Objectives you get an possible additional income of somewhat around 90 IPC at maximum. So if noone saves any money ever the maximum you’ll need at one point is somewhere around 240 IPCs. Now you might want to count in some savings and the possibility to change between the different denominations.
I guess to be on the sure side you should have about 350 IPCs. How many of which denominations depends a bit on what you and your buddies prefer. Would you want to have more then 10 1-IPC-bills? Or do you change those anyway to a 5 or 10-IPC-bill? And so on :wink:

They start with major ICs in Europe 1940 and in Pacific 1940.

Minors that automatically upgrade to major when at war in Global 1940.

Each power starts the game with a number of IPCs equal to its starting income level.  No IPCs are received for any National Objectives that may be satisfied at the start of the game.

The justification is that the US had a tiny peacetime establishment, while the USSR already maintained a huge army.  The jump towards all-out war production was much bigger for the Americans.

Thank you,

After consulting the rules I see that you are right. I only thought they lost the IPC on hand but where still able to collect income. Loosing the IPC on hand seems like a harsh enough punishment imo. It is also a good representation of the chaos that a country will go thro after the loss of its capital. Not being able to collect income when not in control of your capital takes away a few interesting aspects of the game as the Britts fighting on from Canada and SA, the Russians continuing to fight on after the fall of Moscow and my really cool free French empire in South America  :wink:.

@Croesus:

you people overcomplicate things.
The way the rules are is the way they stay! please! I don’t wan’t to have to learn a new set of rules every time.
It’s great to add powers and intrigue, but please, you overdo it

I am sorry for the above grammatical/spelling/capitalization mistakes

We don’t make any changes, we only make suggestions.
