Überdeutschland

[unmerged(41794)]

I've just begun playing my first real Iron Cross (AoD) game, the '33 campaign, as United Kingdom. Now it's december '36 and whereas I'm still so crippled by peacetime penalties that my usable IC is below 30, Germany has been doing nothing but building infrastructure and factories and now has an IC of over 300, and counting. And it's only 1936 as I've said, I will keep lingering with peacetime-penalty IC for years to come while Germany will use all of his to gain even more of it. Is this really how it's supposed to be in Iron Cross?

It seems, that is the plan of the devs for western allies. In a game also as UK France had maybe 20 divisions. So it was quit easy for Germany and I had nothing for reinforce the continent, too. My only victories I got on the sea, prevent landing operations in Norway and smashing landed troops with the bit I have. However, after start of war and beginning Land & Lease the situation becomes much better, dude. And the industry of USA and SU will hopefully overwhelming everything else.
An additional note: Only the IC of a country does not count, especially for Germany. It is probably that they will running out of Manpower, so that the high IC has no use.

Allies are underpowred I think they could have nerfed manpower resources before war, so they can't spam large number of divisions but can build lot of aircraft like in RL.

That's a pretty solid idea. The Western Allies should keep a severe penalty though. They are democracies in the midst of the Great Depression, they aren't supposed to field huge armies. I like how IC handles it for the most part. But their IC could be kept higher to produce aircraft and ships.
