Sorry to keep changing it, but I honestly believe this is the set of rules that will stick… here is my latest proposal for inf placement:
-The maximum number of infantry that can be placed at a VC per turn is equal to the number of VCPs for that VC. (this is true for all VCs, no matter what the nation is that’s being considered).
For Russia, Germany, Japan: All infantry placed in the nation’s capital VC cost 2 each. All infantry placed in VCs contiguously connected to the nation’s capital cost 3 each. All infantry placed in VCs not contiguously connected to the nation’s capital cost 4 each.
Why? These nations are ruled by authoritarian regimes whose influence emenates from their respective capitals. Consequently, infantry units are most easily assembled within these capitals. Furthermore, railways and road transit systems allow infantry units to be stationed more easily in territories when they are connected to these capitals.
For UK and US: The cost of each of the first 2 infantry placed at a certain VC depends on the type of that VC.
-The first 2 infantry placed in the nation’s capital VC cost 2 each.
-The first infantry placed in any of the nation’s major or moderate VCs cost 2. The second infantry placed in any of these VCs costs 3.
-The first 2 infantry placed in all other VCs costs 3 each (namely, in the minor VCs and all captured VCs).*
All infantry in excess of the first 2 placed in any VC costs 4 each.*
*Keeping in mind that the maximum number of infantry that can be placed at a VC per turn is the number of corresponding VCPs.
