IC upgrade

@dazedwit

In case you need it, here are PDFs of the latest Axis and Allies rules from the official manufacturer, including for Europe and Pacific 1940:

No.

Europe 1940 Second Edition Rulebook Page 22
(If you are upgrading a minor industrial complex to a major one, you may still only mobilize up to 3 combat units from that industrial complex this Turn.)

A good rule of thumb is that you can only do/use something based on its status at the very beginning of your Turn. Such as landing planes in a newly captured territory, going though a canal or using a Naval Base. At the beginning of your Turn the industrial complex is a minor thus only 3 units can be built.

@WILD:

If I’m going to spend IPCs on an IC I would wait until I have Western Ukraine (it should fall quickly), that way any units I build in W Ukraine and Ukraine could be with-in striking distance of Moscow.  You don’t need more units to push into Russia, but you need more units to finish them off. That way if the allies fly a bunch of ftrs into Moscow you can build more units at the front, Romania isn’t going to help you in the later stages of your Moscow campaign. The only possible help a Romanian IC will give you later is if the allies try to come up though the Balkans mid game.

When I did it, i ofcourse filled all of the w ukraine IC as soon as i got it as well. I also built a minor in rostow and once I had Rostow, ukraine  and stalingrad, I produced 9 infs there every turn, keeping the russian bottled up in moscow, while using the infs/arts to release my more mobile elements to attack the middle east from the north. Persia and iraq should fall once you come crashing down wtih 40+ units. The brit could perhaps challenge this. if UK has the minor IC in iran, iraq and in egypt from UK2/3, they should be able to have a lot of units being able to trade cauc and nw persia for a few turns.

Along with the damage if it was never bought off before it can be upgraded.  It could be a 26 IPC expense for the original owner to upgrade it back to the major.

@Imperious:

No. it must be 2, major 3 or more and only in originally occupied areas.

Its not originally occupied, its original owner.  (Kiangsu and manchuria cant have majors cause japan is not the owner.)

Silly would indeed be the correct word for any India/ANZAC player doing such a thing…

Anyway, wasn’t this about Egypt?

Thank you Krieg. Iam getting some friends together to play our first global game. I have read the rules and alpha updates. The bombing was the last clarification I needed before we play . Thank again for the rules clarification.

That is a reasonable explanation. Though I do not like it.
