IC’s can be upgraded after all repair is paid. Can be done in the same turn?

I read that:

IC’s can be upgraded after all repair is paid. This can be done in the same turn.

Is that correct?

And when can you build?

Yes, it’s correct. You can mobilize up to three units from the IC in the same turn that it’s upgraded, and up to ten units starting in the following turn.

There’s two basic allied responses to holding France G1.
Run away and allow Italy to clean up. Bulk up France with UK so Italy can’t take it.
In case (2), I say surrender, even though it may cost the allies the entire RAF. In case (1), you may be able to keep playing. I’ve got a game going now where Paris did fail, I think I should have deferred the DOW on USSR until G4 and played Japan as normal. This does allow a few allied actions like USA reaching the med or Norway. However, it is better than letting the Soviets push back all over the shop and get communism objectives for Scandinavia etc. I suppose this is a bigger deal in balanced mod because as soon as you DOW, you release the increased NOs for USSR. Also, all the money from being at war allowed the Soviets to buy enough planes to stop me from being able to effectively strat bomb Moscow.

@majikforce:

Wow I really like this idea.Â My only concern would be that early on the US would probably be under time limit a lot (depending on when they are brought in to the war) Would that extra income swing things too much one way?Â I don’t know but it sounds like a cool idea to explore.Â I think we are gonna go straight time limits to start with and get feedback from everybody and then maybe experiment with the par idea.Â Thanks for the ideas!

Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, you could set up tables that give different pars for different countries at different stages of the game. In competition chess, I believe, players must make x number of moves per hour during the initial stages of the game, but are then given more time per move past a certain point. The principle would be similar here, reflecting such factors as the wartime vs. peacetime status of some powers, the more marginal role in the game of some countries (like France and China), and Britain’s split global economy.

You can certainly do this in a face to face game- play the two separate boards together-
Germany and Japan go at the same time (With Russia in between- have to respect turn order, but Japan may not be at war with Russia)
Then the UK/China/USA goes
Then Italy/ANZAC/France

Then start over. Of course this only works with 3-4 players so you can have people going at the same time.

For clarity -

A Blitz is defined as a combat movement where a tank or mech/tank pairing enters an unoccupied enemy territory, captures it, and moves to a second territory as a single combat move.

Any other movement of two spaces, whether during combat or noncombat, is NOT a Blitz and should not be called a Blitz. It’s either a combat move or a noncombat move, but not a Blitz.

This is important because Mech Inf can always move two spaces as a combat or noncombat move, provided it’s not a Blitz. Calling such moves “Blitzes” implies that Mech can only move two spaces with a tank under every circumstance, and that is NOT the case.

They don’t need to go through, Greece borders the Black Sea

Thats why I thought of doing the attack.

@Black:

Does Germany has to pay the 17ipc to upgrade the IC again? or does that happens automatically?

Germany must pay. The cost is 20 IPCs.

@Black:

btw: Paris becomes a Minor IC as soon is taken by Germany, right?

Yes.

Yes, I kill most of the RN. except sz 111. 2 subs on 109, 2 subs 2 ftr, 2 tac. on sz 110. 1 sub,1 cruiser, 1 ftr, 1 tac on 112. Norway ftr in France. All air can land in N. Italy. Bomber and Battleship on Russian fleet.

sz 111 is left untouched. 1 Battleship and 1 Cruiser along with sz 106 and 91 also untouched.

Not saying this wins the game, just a way to help Italy.
