Our group has had this discussion many times. It seems unrealistic that a country would develop something that is not useful. In one of our games Russia bought a non-disposable tech dice and actually rolled a 6 then rolled on the chart and got “War Bonds” which was cool for them but if you look at the list there are very few that Russia can benefit from. Mostly depends if they are on the offensive. If they are on the defensive then only “War Bonds” and “Increased Factory Production” seem to be worthwhile. “Radar” would also be good but its on a separate chart with tech that would not benefit them. Most would say that Russia should not even consider rolling on tech and I tend to agree unless they are on the offensive and have a massive economy.
A few questions.
-
1- Can submarines move through seazones occupied by enemy subs
2- It’s turn 4 Uk-Pacific retakes french indo china from the japanees can US fighters land there on turn 4 or do they need to wait untill Uk-Pacific holds it for an entire turn.
3- U.S.A has a fleet in both seazones surrounding italy, Italy places its purchased ships in the same seazone. When does the battle for that seazone take place.
4-If the U.S retakes french indo china from the japanees can they build a IC there since france is occupied by the germans.

No. You can’t take over an ally’s territory unless you’re liberating it

Question #5 Using north america as an example; germany has 5 inf and 2 tanks in eastern U.S. U.S has 2 inf in central and 2 in western, can germany kill the units in central with nothing but inf and then blitz through central with thier tanks to western.
#6 Can german fighters in southern italy scramble in defence of the italian fleet off the coast.
I know these questions are probably dumb and i believe i know the answers to them but, my play group requires answers ( untrusting pr*cks that they are ).

No. All combat moves are simultaneous, so you can’t attack a territory through a territory you’re trying to attack. A player sets up all combat moves, then they roll for each combat, and then the combat phase is done. No secondary attacks or blitzing after the combat move phase is permitted.
-
For 6, yes they can
-
#6 Can german fighters in southern italy scramble in defence of the italian fleet off the coast.
Also, since they seem likely to ask -
The attacker declares their combat moves - all of them, with no chance to change their mind and revise after they’re finalized.
The defender THEN chooses how many planes to scramble. At that point, if the attacker didn’t account for the defending aircraft, the attacker is required to engage for at least one round of rolling, after which they can retreat. They cannot retreat in the face of your planes immediately. They also cannot claim, “oh, I forgot these other planes, I’m sending them too.”
They are, however, permitted to say “oh. %#&$#@$%!!!”

If you’re playing Alpha+.1, yes. If you’re playing by the box rules, no, as planes may only scramble from island airbases.
