The combined UK economy could always upgrade the Calcutta minor, like a tax on 1st turn purchases to prevent radical changes to first turn moves. The important thing is the UK Pacific economy wouldn’t collapse if Calcutta fell.
Major IC in Romania G1

I’m starting to realize that Mechanized Infantry should be Germanys weapon of choice, especially on the eastern front. However, I’m still thinking about a Minor IC in Romania (later in the game) just so I can combine a few artillery each turn.

Mech inf. can’t stand alone.
They should be along for speed and fodder. Not the weapon of choice. You need something that can kill off the enemy - not just soak up the damage they do to you. -

I was thinking:
Buy 7 artillery turn 1. (save 2 ipc)
Also move all starting artillery to Russia. (use planes to kill the French, and limit the naval battles to kill UK trannies and destroyers)
Now you got a lot of artillery on the eastern frontline that later mech buys can exploit. -
