The game is fun… and I’m looking forward to enjoying it for years.
However, it is terribly overpriced, even at the $63 for which I bought it online. It’s cardboard and plastic. Fine. I don’t need it to be fancy. But 4 lbs. of cardboard and plastic retailing at $90? Don’t think so.
AA42 sold for $30, no?

For that reason I keep my carriers back and out of combat.
Even though carriers have 0 attack value, may they be used in naval combat to enter a hostile seazone and absorb hits while your other units fight?
So what is the answer to my question??
So, if you take over an island or territory that has a convoy marker, your enemy can now attack that onvoy and reduce your IPCs?
Can the United States collect the IPC income of the Dutch East Indies Islands if the U.S liberates them from Japan?
One more thought.
If Japan does not attack any Allied Power through Japan’s first three turns it’s possible, although very unlikely, that it will only be at war with United States at that point. If Britain/ANZAC refuse to commence hostilities against Japan and Japan does not attack them or the Dutch either, only the U.S.A and China would be at war with Japan come round 3.
My point is… maybe the British/ANZAC player should be patient (if possible) and let Japan attack first– because a Japanese attack automatically brings America and its huge income into the war, too.
If Britain and/or ANZAC attack Japan first, Japan can retaliate without provoking the U.S, therefore limiting the U.S IPC income until round three.
I am clear on most of the Political rules. My only question was about Japan’s options after a British and/or Anzac attack.
By the way– the rules indicate that war ships may enter a convoy zone without provoking war-- that is because the player must declare his intention to disrupt the convoy.
