Commonwealth IC's

Well, I agree that U.K. will probably be able to build some IC’s for India and Australia sometimes, I just think like in AAP & AAE Canada, India, and Australia should start off with one. China can build men but Australia or Canada can’t? Both of those countries produced way more war materials and much better armies than China. I just don’t understand why they don’t start off with an IC. It’s like Australia’s and New Zealand’s only contribution to the war is their 3 IPC’s magically flow to the U.K. and all their men and resources appear there.

I would agree with you about the IC in India for the UK. With the Japanese transports postioned the way they are, the Philippines, Borneo, and the East Indies are the most the Japanese can do in Asia in Turn 1. If they fail to get Borneo and the East Indies, I suspect that they loose their National Advantage IPCs for the first turn. With average die rolls by the Allies in causing Japanese casualties, the Japanese are not going to be able to pass up the easy conquests there. That slows down any attack on India. With the cheaper subs, the US should be able to mount a submarine offensive on turn 2, going for the transports in conjunction with bombers. The US can use the carrier to stage fighters into Australia for defense, and once that is done, you should be able to build an IC there as well. I see only one Japanese destroyer, so subs should be pretty effective against the Japanese Navy early on. Forcing the Japanese to build destroyers and transports dractically reduces their land and air forces. In A&A Pacific, killing Japanese transports is very effective, and in the Anniversary Edition, with the limited number of them, killing transports should be ever more effective.
Admiral, I would say that a house rule putting an IC in either India or Australia is perfectly valid, based on A&A Pacific. I am thinking of having India get one free infantry every turn, and giving an IC to Australia.

I think a cool way to play U.K. would be to treat Canada, Australia, and India, like the U.S. treats China. Like sub players with separate income and IC’s. Of course it would have to be playtested to not to weaken the U.K. too much but, spending the 4 IPC’s in Canada’s IC and then shipping it to the U.K. would be more historically accurate. If your into that sort of thing. Like wise with Australia’s money. Building units there with it’s limited IPC’s then deciding to use it to fight Japan or to send infantry to the Middle East to fight Germany like Australia did.

Not as China. You don’t want Australia, Canada or India be reduced to a popping inf minor who cannot join attacks with UK :-P
It would not work for Australia or Canada, isolated of any land fronts, and it will kill India totally, reducing them to a defensive force.Better would be treat Canada, Australia, India and China as India/Australia in AAPacific :-)
-
Well, I didn’t mean exactly like China. I meant treating Canada, Australia, and India like subplayers like China but, not just inf popping countries that can’t join attacks with U.K. Of course they would be able to. There all the same players units.
-
Agreed, and the same should be applied to China :-)
-
Wonder why Larry changed that? Maybe he thought that that would make the Chinese a problem to the Japanese (makes it more realistic). What think the masses upon this?
-
Yes, I think Larry changed the Chinese to make it feel more like WWII. Not Japan invading into the U.S.S.R. with could never have worked. Well, I was hoping the U.K. would be treated more like in AAE and AAP in AAAE but, there is always houserules and there is always Advanced Axis and Allies that I hope LH will do!

I keep looking at 3 Russian Industrial Centers and keep thinking, if the Russians get 3, the UK gets another one. Either Canada, India, or Australia, one of those three should get one, or take a real chance and put one in Egypt. But with the 3 Russian, the UK should have one more.
-
The British better get another one. 3 ICs makes Russia stronger than in any previous A&A game.
