US starts at 52 IPCs, goes to war - 92 IPCs, chart goes to 72 ???

Hi and welcome to the game E40.

In my opinion, because of the 25 IPC NO’s, America wants to be in the war as soon as possible. On the other hand, the Soviets want to delay coming into the war so that they can build up-unless Germany is building up even more. I am playing a game-you can read about it my post called “Can the Allies Win?”-in which there was a G2 attack on Russia involving about 25 tanks, 5 art, 25 inf, 4 mechs, and 11 planes. Right now I am on Round 6 and expect Moscow to fall maybe by Round 9 or 10 unless there is a major reversal or terrible dice for the Germans.

So again, if you are America, you want to be in the war as soon as possible; if you are the Russians, it depends on how much the Germans are building up to go after you.
God Bless you and welcome from,

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:

Thanks for the confirmation!!!

@rock`n:

on page 23 there is written:
germany
“5 IPC if Axis powers control either novgorod or volgograd.”

does it mean, that the german player can get up to 10 IPC when controlling both cities?

No.

@rock`n:

United kingdom/United states

“collect a one-time payment of 5 IPCs if the first time UK/USA forces capture or liberate one of the following territories: normandy, holland or western germany.”

does it mean, that UK/USA can gain up to 15 IPCs or maximum 5 IPCs? for me as not a native speaker of english it is not quite clear.
if someone as UK or USA captures holland he gains 5 IPCs. okay, but when the same player occupies normandy next round or in the same round. what is then? etc.

The payment is received only the first time that one of those territories is captured/liberated by each power.  Nothing further is received for capturing or liberating another of the territories.  Each power may earn only 5 IPCs per game from this NO.

Not yet.

@reloader-1:

Imp Games EAST & WEST is the best game for this type of conflict.

How is that game reloader I was thinking of ordering it.

Thanks for the comprehendsive explanation.  As to where I have been in the past 8 months or 8 years for that matter is playing in AA revised in a small pool of players in a small backwaters town in Canada.  I joined this site about 2 months ago and having thought AA Pac,Euro, revised were the ONLY 3 flavours until Spring 42 came out.  It has been a suprise to see all the versions and new concepts (NOs, new techs etc, neutral powers).  It also seems I am beeing schooled on Spring 42 by fleetwood dan much to my chagrin.  I have much to learn!

@Brain:

If you want more naval battles, then increase the value of the convoy zones.

Or increase the number of sea zones to create an air gap.

That could work.
