Cymru vs wheatbeer g40 alpha2

[wheatbeer]

Do my American industrial complexes become major now?  Or are they still minor ic’s for turn 3 mobilization?

[Cymru]

Since I made the declaration at the beginning of the US turn you can declare war and they automatically upgrade. If I had waited one more round you’d have to declare war on your collect Income phase and so they would not become Major IC’s until after you set down units.

[wheatbeer]

Thanks  :-)

This turn may take a bit because of all the nuances of pacific movement, and deciding if I can handle two fronts as America.

Plus side, UKs turn won’t take so long this time  :-P

[Cymru]

No hurry, I’m in a bit worse situation than I had hoped for, I took some bad losses on the turn.

The rules I have on 94canuck’s cards say they can’t sneak attack an unescorted trans.  Does that mean no attacking unescorted trans with subs period?

[wheatbeer]

they = subs

[Cymru]

An unescorted transport is pretty much auto killed if you attack them. On the defense the alpha +2 rules will not allow an unescorted transport to unload troops during the combat phase if there is a sub in the sea zone. Though you can unload in the non combat move phase with a sub in the sea zone. So a sub can attack an unescorted transport.
