a question: when passing through a sea zone only containing subs. If you pass there with ships but none of them is a destroyer, can you pass free there? Or can the owner of the subs say during your movement: “hey, i’m not longer submerged” so that a combat occurs?

[TheDefinitiveS]

During combat movement, transports and subs may be ignored by the attacking player. (This is true for all  attacking Naval warships) If you end your combat move in a territory with a sub or transport the ATTACKER may choose to attack or not. Its explained better on page 30 of the 1940 Europe rule book. If transports are passing through a seazone containing a sub then the must be accompanied by warships. You may not bombard from a seazone that is also having a seabattle in it. Hope this helps.

[Spoox]

that helps, thank you Sir

[Spoox]

sorry I have another question: If one would decide to do an amphibious assault in an empty territory via an empty sea zone with a kamikaze symbol, would this trigger the possibility to do a kamikaze strike? Because in the rules it says: “Kamikaze strikes are now triggered by combat, not combat movement” and there is not going to an actual combat, so can you kamikaze?

[TerrorBane]

kamikazees can’t target transports so no they cannot jamikazee the transport if you bring other war ships in for bombardments they can kamikazee those

[TerrorBane]

if the territory is empty and there are warships in the zone then yes they can kamikazee you… so instead send the transport in alone and then non combat your ships into the sea zone

[Spoox]

allright, think I got it, thanks

Hmm, actually, I have 3 ftrs in jpn that can scramble in response to the amphibious assault on kor.  I understand that you’re new to the rules, so if you want to rejig that combat movement, I’ll OK it, even though dice have already been rolled.

[Spoox]

gosh, I’m really messing this up, hold on a moment so I can think things over.

So basically:
-if I proceed with the amphibious landing on Kor without warships, you can scramble your fighters on Japan and basically kill the TT+cargo for free?
-if I proceed with the amphibious landing on Kor with escort of my fleet, you can also scramble if you wish and you can use Kamikaze strikes immediately before the actual landing?

Am I right in this?

Thanks for your understanding, I am indeed still relatively new to the game, it was really not my intention to make so many mistakes throughout our game.

Yes, that is correct.

[Spoox]

thanks
ok, here goes, I hope I have everything correct now:
Orders for the Europe side of the map remain the same. I take it it’s ok not to reroll that one fight, as it does not influence my moves in the Pacific at all. I’d understand it if you want it to be rerolled.
I do the exact same landing, but I will do it in Manchuria
