US war time economy if Japan attacks in J1 or J2

Okay you guys might think I’m crazy but I wonder how much would change if the US could get that extra IPCs from West. USA? In all of our games, the axis are gaining more income individually then the US. Maybe it would balance the game out. Thoughts?

I am not sure what you mean Dessertfox (at least which game you mean). I do believe the US should have another 5 or 10 a turn in Global and in 1942 as well.

Do you know how  Western USA turns from a territory of 10 ipcs to a territory of 50 ipcs in war in Pacific? What if that happened in global as well?

I see. Well, I think 40 extra is too much, but don’t think an extra 10 to the U.S. as a whole, would be unreasonable. I just want to see a richer U.S.

100% agree!

We experimented with a house rule that gave the US the War Bonds breakthrough for free once they entered the war, it was no big deal to give that to them, and it was fun to see how each roll for more money turned out for the American player.

Sounds fun. I think it would be interesting to give each of the major powers a free tech at the end of turn 3. What would you choose for each power as your tech?

Germany = Jet Fighters
USSR = Advanced Artillery
Japan = Super Subs
USA = War Bonds or Increased Factory Production
China = none
UK = Radar
Italy = Improved Shipyards
ANZAC = Long Range Aircraft
France = Heck, why not give them Heavy Bombers. They won’t be able to use them anyway.

you are forgetting that they get 12 ipcs worth of any unit(s) they want when liberated. could prove to be useful late in the war as another strategic bomber when germany’s fighters are far east fighting russia and they have no fighters to intercept.
