@yazoinkergrapft Yes, the United States is allowed to declare war. If it does, the sea zone immediately becomes hostile, as there are enemy surface warships in it. However, since the United States is not declaring war until the Collect Income phase, during the Combat Move, Conduct Combat, and Noncombat Move phases the sea zone is still friendly, so the United States can still occupy it freely. On Japan’s next turn, its units in the sea zone will be starting the turn in an enemy-occupied sea zone, so the normal rules for that situation apply (those units must either move away in combat movement or attack).
Sub vs carrier w/ planes rules clarification
-
Hi, looking for a quick confirmation.
If only subs attack a carrier containing a fighter (of the same country as the carrier i.e. its NOT cargo), do the planes get a defense roll against the subs? This is purely subs vs only 1 carrier and 1 fighter.
I argued with my buddy that they do but he thinks otherwise and I couldn’t get a clear confirmation skimming the rule book.
Thanks in advance!! -

This is purely subs vs only 1 carrier and 1 fighter.The plane(s) is/are defending in the air. So in general they get their defense roll. However they cannot hit the subs (as there is no destroyer friendly to the planes).
Of course the attacking subs can’t hit the defending plane(s) either.Sidenote:
A friendly power’s plane is only considered as cargo on attacking carriers. -
Ok thanks,
so then if the carrier is damaged or destroyed then plane is awarded 1 space to find a suitable landing space else lost? -
