Changing the USA IT tech and # of chits.

[Iron Ranger]

In any custom sanerio play I was woundering if it would be better to Reduce US IT tech to 0 but provide them with an extra 3 chits that must be placed in IT and could not be removed till it reached L5. If they chose to also place thier starting 2 in IT they would have the max of five. This would, with in the limits of SC, simiulate the buildup of US industry to it total war mentality.

Combine this with a HR of a max of 2 chits in any one tech for all other nations and the Allied player could see some real advantages in doing this. (the lone expection would be the USA IT - max 5)

This sounds like an idea worth trying out!

The problem is that max US buildup with IT only amounts to 25% anyway, which isn't much and isn't guaranteed with random research results. You may want to consider leaving the US as is or even increasing at-start IT. HR limiting Axis to no more than 1 chit (or no chits) in IT would delay catch up and give US a long-term economic benefit. That may be the effect you're really looking for.

You use the Campaign Editor to modify the beginning tech levels and the number of chits a nation has.

"extra 3 chits, placing it in IT and cannot remove until reach level 5"

Thats a House Rule that the player has to follow. There is no way to do that automatically in SC.
