Building IC on foreign soil

@McMan:

But technically, most of the US was originally controlled by Native American tribes, so they shouldn’t be able to have Major IC’s there, correct?  :wink:

Not to mention that Texas was originally controlled by Mexico :wink:

Which was also controlled by Native Americans  :-D

Back to the issue: so Japan can only build new a industrial complex in Korea

From the AAP40 Rulebook, page 9:

Chinese territories on the game board have a Nationalist Chinese nationality symbol on them.  Some of these territories begin the game already under Japanese control.  They still are considered Chinese territories for purposes of original ownership.

Japan can build a new major industrial complex only in Korea.

I am a firm believer that unless the rules explicitly prevent it, it is fair game. Rules were meant to make the game balanced and fun, not to be a constitution. The Japanese start with that territory, so they can build an IC there if they want. The rule is designed to prevent the Germans from upgrading London, and holding it indefinately, to keep Japan from building an IC in Malaya, and to keep the US from building on in Norway or Korea. IMHO The only reason the chinese symbol is on those territories is to indicate range of movement

SO, to simplify, a MAJOR IC can only be built on a territory with your flag, and an IPC of 3 of higher; and a MINOR IC can be built on ANY non-island territory with an IPC of 2 or higher.

@ThomasJefferson:

Per the rule I quoted above, the reason the Chinese symbol is on those territories is to indicate that they are considered original Chinese territories, for all purposes.

Almost.  A major IC may only be built on a non-island territory with your symbol printed on it and an IPC value of 3 or higher.  A minor IC may be built on any non-island territory with an IPC value of 2 or higher.

Major industrial complexes are reduced minor when captured. The original owner of the territory may upgrade it if the territory is recaptured.

Say I’m Germany. The US takes West Germany. Major IC there becomes Minor while held by the Americans. Then Germany re-takes it. Does Germany has to pay the 17ipc to upgrade the IC again? or does that happens automatically?

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

They have to pay to upgrade recaptured Minor ICs. And I think the cost is 20 IPC each.

Yep.

Germany must pay.  The cost is 20 IPCs.

Yes.
