Total noob question about naval units and IPC limigs

When I play with my friends, we do what you propose; we count the IPC value of a country at the end of its turn.  We find this to be simple because we simply count the IPC difference for each territory, and add this (or subtract) from the default IPC for this nation.

We find that when we adjust the tokens for all countries, that this is a very error prone method, and it forces us to do counting that is not necessary.  All that is necessary is to know how much your nation is worth at the end of your turn.  At all other times this information is useless.

But, you should still use paper money, because you collect money at the end of your turn, and you may also have saved some money from your previous turn phase.  The amount of money that you have in pocket is generally not the same as your IPC value at any given moment in the game.

The UK holds onto the money, until thier capital is liberated.

At which time, they can then spend it on their next turn, or the begginning of thier turn IF an ally of theirs liberated it.

ok thanks!

@jiman79:

If it was a destroyer, there is no surprise attack, and the destroyer should fire first.

True, but that doesn’t change the fact that both attacking ships would be lost if both subs hit.  :wink:

There are no national advantage optional rules in the 1942 Edition.

Okay that will make me think about my plans a bit.

Thanks

Thanks thats the way I’ve been playing, I just wanted to be sure.

Yes.  However, in this particular example there would be no need for them to do so, since with the bomber unable to hit them any longer the battle would be effectively over.
