[MEGAEINSTEIN]

The rules talk about territories, does this include islands?

[Witt]

Yes.

[MEGAEINSTEIN]

Yes meaningg that you can end movement adjacent to japanese islands or yes territories include islands?

[Witt]

Am sorry.
Yes, islands are territories and US while at peace cannot, therefore, end movement by them.

[Sir_Cala]

ok just making sure.

You cannot stop in a Sea Zones with an Island or Coastline that contain Japanese controlled Territories.

In addition, the United States may not end the movement of its sea units in sea zones that are adjacent to
Japanese-controlled territories. Sea Zones 17, 22, 32, 33, 34, and 37.

Can the US park ships in Sea Zones 7 and 16 next to Sea Zone 6 that contains the Island of Japan?

@Sir_Cala:

Yes; those territories are not adjacent to a Japanese controlled territory. However, that leaves the US navy very vulnerable to a Japanese attack, especially fighters on carriers because they have nowhere to land if the carrier gets damaged.
