4.2 Reinforcements

The production circle has 6 slices, one for each turn in a year. In this stage of the turn, your units and markers in the current turn’s slice arrive as reinforcements. If they are face-down naval units, place them in the Contruction pool. Place all other units and markers on the map.

The side with the initiative from last turn places its reinforcements first.

Where do reinforcements go?

Set aside your reinforcing offensive chits for later use.

Put your face-down naval units into the construction pool. Put all your other reinforcements on the map.

4.1.2 Special additions
Neutral major powers can’t have MIL units. When you go to war, add your MIL units to your force pools. Reserve MIL units would be placed on the map instead (see 9.6 Calling out the reserves).

If at the end of any peace step your major power is neutral, remove its MIL units from the game until you are next at war with a major power (see 13.7.3 Mutual peace).

Option 67: Some units have a city name on their back rather than an availability date (see city based volunteers, 22.4.8 City based volunteers (AfA, AiF, LiF& PoliF option 67)).


10.1 Action types If you are a neutral major power, you must choose either a pass or a combined action.


11.4.1 Definition of ‘naval move’
If the moving units belong to a neutral major power, each unit you move (not each task force) counts as 1 naval move.


Not used if using 22.4.11 Synthetic oil plants (AfA option 14): 13.5.1 Oil (AfA option 48) Neutral major powers can only save one oil per turn (in addition to their previously saved oil).


13.6.1 Resources
Transporting resources by sea
Neutral major powers can only contribute to convoy chains with other major powers if the rules specifically allow it (see 5.1 Trade agreements ~ Japan-USA and 13.3.2 US entry options, option 9 Resources to China). Neutral major powers’ convoys can not transport resources or build points to other major powers unless the rules specifically allow it (see 5.1.1 Japan-USA, 13.3.2, options: 9 Resources to China, 15 Resources to western Allies, 17 Lend lease to China, 19 Resources to USSR, 27 Lend lease to western Allies, and 30 Lend lease to USSR).

Neutral major powers may not build ahead (exception see 13.3.2 US entry options: US Entry: Option 46 US may advance build units).


13.6.5 Building units
Neutral major powers may not build ahead (exception: US Entry see 13.3.2 US entry options: Option 46 US may advance build units).

13.6.6 Gearing limits
Exceptions
On the first turn of any scenario or campaign there are no gearing limits.

Neutral major powers are not subject to gearing limits on the turn that a major power declares war on it.


16. Offensive chits (option 61) Neutral major powers cannot use an offensive chit.


18.1 Who can co-operate
Units controlled by a neutral major power don’t co-operate with units from, or controlled by, another major power.


22.4.11 Synthetic oil plants (AfA option 14). Each oil marker you place on the map costs 1 build point. It is free to increase the value of the marker (up to their maximum value of 4 oil). Please note that this means it is in your interest not to use up that last barrel of oil in a particular hex if there is any other source of supply. Neutral major powers (like all others) may now save any number of oil per turn.

13.6.3 Production multiples
Each major power has an initial production multiple. These rise progressively during the game. Essentially, this reflects an increasing national industrial output and an increasing share of that output being devoted to military uses. Production multiples are listed on the Production Multiples Chart.

(a) +0.25 if enemy made any land attacks in your home country (not Siberia and only UK counts for the CW) this turn;
(b) +0.25 while an in-supply enemy land unit is in your home country (not Siberia, and only UK counts for the CW).
(c) +0.25 ~ US entry opt. 22; +0.25 ~ US entry opt. 34; +0.25 ~ war; +0.25 ~ total war; +0.25 each 6 turns after US entry opt. 34.
(d) +0.25 from 1942 onwards if Minsk or Kiev are Russian controlled.
(e) +0.25 from 1943 onwards if Leningrad, Moscow and Stalingrad are Russian controlled.

Increase a major power’s production multiple by 0.25 if there is an in supply enemy unit in the major power¹s current home country (an unconquered UK only in the case of the Commonwealth and not Siberia in the case of the USSR).

Increase a major power’s production multiple by 0.25 if an enemy unit took part during the turn in a land attack (not overrun) against any friendly land unit (including partisans and notional units) in the major power¹s current home country (an unconquered UK only in the case of the Commonwealth and not Siberia in the case of the USSR).

Increase the USA’s production multiple:
By 0.25 when the US chooses entry option 22 Gear up production.
By 0.25 when the US chooses entry option 34 Pass War Appropriations Bill.
By 0.25 when the US is at war with any Axis major power.
By 0.25 when the US is at war with every Axis major power that has not yet been completely conquered.
By 0.25 on the anniversary (i.e. after every 6 turns) of the turn the US selected entry option 34 Pass War Appropriations Bill.

(c) +0.25 ~ US entry opt. 22; +0.25 ~ US entry opt. 34; +0.25 ~ war; +0.25 ~ total war; +0.25 each 6 turns after US entry opt. 34.
(d) +0.25 to the USSR while Germany and the USSR are at war with each other.

Using this option, major powers no longer receive a bonus for an in supply enemy unit in their home country, and the USSR no longer receives any bonuses based on the cities they control.

Looks right for the regular rules. For option 49, either note b is a mis-print, or I'll take China whenever that option is used! It should read "+0.25 each year".

Note the increases for enemy attacks and supplied units in your home country are not cumulative from turn to turn. They either happen or they don't. The PM for the year (or year since last bump for the USA) stays the same all year and is the "base" to which these may be added.

pauldernyck:

The +.25 per year could be interpreted the same way you have jokingly interpreted +.25 per turn (just not as extreme )

At any rate, the text Extraneous uses is copy/paste from RaW.

I am not aware of any interpretation of this rule other than:
"China's base production multiple increases by .25" (so they would have, using Hitler's War, a base multiple of .5 in 1939, .75 in 1940/41, 1 in 1942/43, and 1.25 in 1944/45)

The actual text of the rule is:

30 Lend lease to USSR - The US, CW and/or France can give or receive 1 build point each per turn to or from the USSR in future turns even if the USSR is neutral (5 each per turn while Germany and the USSR are at war and unlimited while the US is also at war with Germany). You can only choose this option if you have already chosen entry option 19 Resources to USSR. US convoy points can’t be used to transport these build points while the US is a neutral major power.

Option 49: (Hitler’s war) From now until Germany and the Soviet Union are at war, the Soviets pick an extra marker during the entry marker step of each turn. After looking at the marker, they can treat it as a normal marker (offensively or defensively) or stack it face down on any of their useable factory stacks. Once placed they may never be moved even if the hex becomes controlled by another major power.

During their first production step at war with Germany, turn all entry markers on factory stacks face up. These markers are converted into saved build points (AfA option 31 ~ see 13.6.8 Saving build points (AfA option 31)) available for production or saved for future turns. If not playing AfA option 31, those extra build points must be spent immediately under the restrictions of 13.6.8 Saving build points (AfA option 31)and any excess after production are lost.
