I Need Your Help

@General:

I was hoping for a general concensus… You all play a lot more than me and I dont have time to be playtesting.

:?

there’s not a general concensus. Many opinions vary on USA income and Russia.

@Frontovik:

the 2 anzac inf on egypt are supposed to be changed to 1 british inf i thought
i’ve read it somewhere.

I don’t recall that (but I could be wrong). I remember only the old ANZAC fighter in the UK being switched for French.  The Egyptian ANZAC infantry were simply omitted (similar to the original OOB Global Setup)

@Boyardee:

But what are the income of the US???

I covered that with as near a correct answer as you’re likely to see until Alpha3 is finalized but again:

In Europe starting territory @ 35 when at war:

10 IPCs if the United States controls all of the following territories: Eastern United States, Central United States, and Western United States. Theme: Basic national sovereignty.
5 IPCs if the United States controls all of the following territories: Alaska, Aleutian Islands, Hawaiian Islands, Johnston Island, and Line Islands. Theme: National sovereignty issues
5 IPCs if the United States controls all of the following territories: Mexico, South Eastern Mexico, Central America, and West Indies. Theme: Defense treaty and trade obligations.
5 IPCs if the United States controls Philippines. Theme: Center of American influence in Asia.
5 IPCs for each turn that the US has at least one land unit in the territory “France”. Theme: Great Alliance collaboration

For an objective total of 20, down from 35 in OOB.  It’s possible that NO1 will be increased for Europe alone (combining 1 & 2, etc).

In Pacific:
Starting territory @ 17 and when at war:

10 IPCs if the United States controls all of the following territories: Eastern United States, Central United States, and Western United States. Theme: Basic national sovereignty.
5 IPCs if the United States controls all of the following territories: Alaska, Aleutian Islands, Hawaiian Islands, Johnston Island, and Line Islands. Theme: National sovereignty issues
5 IPCs if the United States controls all of the following territories: Mexico, South Eastern Mexico, Central America, and West Indies. Theme: Defense treaty and trade obligations.
5 IPCs if the United States controls Philippines. Theme: Center of American influence in Asia.
5 IPCs for each turn that the US has at least one land unit in the territory “France”. Theme: Great Alliance collaboration

For an objective total of 25, down from 50.  It’s VERY LIKELY that NO1 will have to be increased for Pacific alone (somewhere in the realm of another 15 to 20, increasing NO1 to 25 and the possible total to 40 to 45)

However, this is probably the number 1 issue that has not been resolved between the theater games and the global games (and the US income swing is probably also the number 1 thing that determines balance).  Unfortunately, most playtest energy has been focused on the Global game and very few people playtest the theatre games, so it remains unresolved.

@Bonziboy:

Thanks. Thats what I thought… but it seems odd that the industry has to be useless.

I know, but it’s still actually British because if it isn’t owned by the axis it’s “safe,” the way it is. So it’s pretty much a useless British factory, until it become axis then American. The US can still land troops there while still in “British,” control.

Thank you very much!

just found it a bit odd that USSR got 9 ipc every turn and GE lost one of the bonuses of holding Europe…

but i guess i just need to play the A2 setup a bit more ^^

I thought I had seen one as well, but I was unable to find it……

they’re like regular infantry, but can do 2 steps (and blitz if accompanied by a tank)

@Funcioneta:

@UN:

I’m wondering if someone could clarify this to me.

I’ve heard that India and Great Britain will have separate IPC incomes. If that’s true, does that mean all British Pacific territories goes to the Indian IPC?

Does this also mean that there’s a possibility that there can be a houseruled seventh player as British India? Would it work?

I also heard that the United States has a split income as well between the Atlantic and Pacific. So does that also mean that there could very well be an (again, houseruled) eighth player playing as either the European American forces or the Pacific American forces?

Higher number of possible players is 10:

USSR France UK India ANZAC China USA Germany Italy Japan

You’re not going to have much fun playing one minor allied … just give to one player all the minor allies, so practical max number is 7 players

Knowing me I will do this, just like AA50 I sometimes broke out China from the US. Believe me I could get 10 people over, (a lot of them suck, but compared to a lot of people on here I guess I suck  :-P ) That will be fun!
