where is this in the rules

why let Japan get all those dollars, If you stack it right The jap AF will spend a lot of dollars killing 8$ transports, and if you have an AC and two fig with 6 transports and a sub, im pretty sure it will delay the Jap stratagy

I will go with the US because it is more of a challange to involve them in the rescue effort on both sides of the board.  If Arrica is saved in the first round than the us must save  Russia and dump tanks in Asia.

What about the usa/alaska connection, instead of building a IC in europe, just form a tank train from western us to alaska, then transport the tanks each round, you get more tanks faster to Russia than any other way. each transport can carry 1 tank and 1 inf.  you may loose out in the first two to three rounds but by the fourth you should be rolling, provided you protected your transport zones with subs and other large vessels. It seems cheaper and more effective since with an IC you can only put 2 tanks a round in Europe, or 1 tank 1 inf.
