I pretty much always leave the Med to Italy. Even if Germany takes S. France, it usually only uses the IC there for making infantry to protect the Atlantic coast, or maybe a couple of subs to help Italy clear out the Med right at first.
Maybe one of those German infantry will go down, catch a ride on an Italian transport and land in Egypt for that German NO there, but this only happens if Italy is doing very well down there and that usually only happens if the Germans are successful at Sealion so UK is pretty much out of the European theater. Also, the US is usually busy in the Pacific and not doing much in the Atlantic.
So, the Germans getting the “Land Unit in Egypt” NO is fairly rare.
So in our games, Germany has little to no involvement in the Med. They are either busy attacking England or going after Russia. Either of those takes too much financial commitment.
Germany dows on russia, cruiser on transport, does it stop it loading up?

germany dows on russia, cruiser on transport, does it stop loading up? Like can I load onto the transports and unload for combat?

I am sure I can load and offload the round I dow, but if I start doing J2 or J3 dows again for whatever reason, I need the link for new players to show or a quote with page number for rules.

If I understand your question correctly, you’re wondering if you can load a German transport in the same sea zone as a Russian Cruiser on the same turn as you DOW. Right? If so then yes you can. If it is Germany doing the DOW then it is allowed to load the transport before the DOW on the same turn. It says that exact same thing in the rule book but I don’t have it in front of me right now to give you a page number.

This is absolutely legit. There is a special rule clarification in the book for this under declaring war.

Correct, quote from the rulebook is in the FAQ-thread:

But doesn’t that also mean that because you share a sea zone with your enemy, you are required to engage them unless you leave it?

The “Sea Units Starting in Hostile Sea Zones”-rules apply.

Sort of true. Just that you are able to load units before leaving it. So the exception is of no use if you want to land on a territory which you already own.
