I normally put my IC in Man, but I’ve been considering going for the islands on turn 2 if it looks like a KGF strat.
Why are so many people building an Indian IC?

@LT04:
I’d let the Chinese keep that crapy real estate and so what if they have 1,000 INF at the end of the game they can’t leave and other allies can’t enter.
I’m pretty sure this is incorrect. Although Chinese units can’t leave the Chinese territories, other Allied forces can move into the Chinese territories.
I didn’t think the US could enter China but I am still unclear if other Allied units can or not.

any nation can enter chinese territory. china just cannot leave its own (unless re-taking, or attacking burma i think)

I read the rules that were posted here and you are correct that any allied player can enter China just China can’t leave.
I think that’s a good thing this way Japan just can’t go around. They have to worry about Allies springing leaks in the Japanese defence.
I think that I am going to have to pull out one of my other US fighters from another A&A game to be the chinese fighter. In the event the US gets to China before the FTR gets destroyed.
Sorry to derail your topic.

Sorry for derailing further, but I just wanted to clarify this.
Besides the territories that they begin with, China can only take 3 other territories - Kiangsu and Manchuria (which are considered belonging to the Chinese at the start of the game, even though Japan occupies them), and Kwangtung (which reverts to British control when occupied by China [or any other Ally]).

kwangtung, that’s what i meant. sorry, was up late when replying. and by ‘re-taking’ its own, kiangsu and manchuria are covered
LT, i just nabbed one of the US fighters from revised. it is now my new chinese fighter 8-)

Last night I was thinking of getting into my AAP box and taking one of those fighter’s for China.

LOL!! a lot of bother for a FTR that gets toasted on J1… LOL ! :-D

it doesn’t ALWAYS get destroyed on japans first turn. and it generally lasts a little longer in the 1942 setup also. so having a seperate chinese fighter is handy
-
And to get back on topic: I think the key difference here opposed to Revised is that in AA50, UK moves after Japan.
If Japan moves away from India, going for the China or Russian route, it might be very liable to buy an Indian IC at UK1.In Revised, the Indian IC pretty much always was a bad idea, as Japan could simply react on it on J1.

Unless playing minor victory (which is better balanced than major victory), wherein an Indian factory is essential.

If Japan moves away from India, going for the China or Russian route, it might be very liable to buy an Indian IC at UK1.In some ways, Japan going first hinders the Indian factory. If UK went first, they might actually get to build in the IC before Japan can capture it.
