Do the Allies lose Political Points fighting anywhere else?


Thanks ahead of time for your response.

When they decide to stick it to the Allies by defending Manila, there will also be a penalty against the IJN player for mounting Normandy sized invasions during the war.

But now new players think he was stating a fact.
We have enough misinformation in this game.

I prefer to make my "last stand" in the Philippines at Clark Field. That base produces 100+ supplies a turn!

Alas - production ceases as soon as an enemy unit enters the hex...

Yup - really - or so i've been told/read (Mr. Frag's posts), and experienced (never get any supply once the enemy enters the hex as far as i can determine).

Not like those tough Russian factory workers who kept turning out tanks even as their building was being attacked in Stalingrad. Guess Mac should have beefed up his secret police.
