MPP Calculation? What Am I Missing? - 4/11/2019 10:30:10 AM

I'm trying to reconcile my country's starting MPP values as shown on the map with what I actually received at the beginning of the next Turn.
At game start: If I add up all initial (Turn 1) German-controlled and Italian-controlled hexes with an MPP value I get:

Germany = 224; + Slovakia = 14; + Danzig/E.Prussia = 21.25; = 259.25
x Industrial Modifier 50% x Mobilization 100%, I get 129.63 MPP.

Italy/Albania = 139; + Libya = 10; + Abyssinia/Italian E.Africa = 10; = 159
x Industrial Modifier 65% x Mobilization 65%, I get 67.2 MPP.

WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING, I hit turn advance and at the beginning of the next turn, the message says:
"Germany & Minors Collect 142 MPP"
"Italy & Minors Collect 71 MPP"

This means that what I counted up for Germany only accounted for 91% of the MPP they actually collected, and only 95% of the MPP that Italy actually collected. There's some variable that I'm missing - what is it??

Hi

I noticed a couple of things that may have affected your calculations:

The Industrial Modifier only affects home production, not MPPs from other countries. Also, Germany should be receiving some income via convoys.

Thanks! It�s not the convoys; those are accounted for seperately. The Industrial Modifier only affecting �home production� is probably the answer - I just haven�t been able to get the numbers to work out yet.

It�s definitely not random, though... I did the same test (advancing the first Turn without doing anything) twice more, and Germany consistently gets 142 MPP at the end of the first turn and Italy gets 71.

I�m going to figure this out eventually!
