Global 2nd edition Q+A ( AAG40.2)

[gamerman01]

@Cow:

Can you blitz a pro axis during non combat from and to a territory you control? Say west germ -> switzerland ->france?

NO.  You also can’t move mech or armor through a friendly neutral that you just took in noncombat.

You can only blitz neutrals that are empty and are either true neutrals or unfriendly to you.

The rule book plainly says, under “friendly neutrals”
“They can be moved into (but not through) as a noncombat move by land units of a power that is at war”

Do you have access to a rule book, Cow?

[Cow]

It is just cooler to ask these things on the FAQ. :)

Eventually every possible rule question about subs, neutrals, politics, etc will be asked. Then a simple search will end any argument or debate possible.

Oh yeah the whole share sea zone thing is still the same right?

[gamerman01]

Same as what?  AA50?

A classic unintelligible cow question.

Questions about strategic and tactical bombing…

1). During the combat move phase, before combat begins(i.e. rolling for fighter interceptors, fighters escorts, AA, etc…), do the tactical bombers and strategic bombers bombing a territory(either IC’s, AB’s or NB’s) have to announce what they’re bombing? Meaning, the player announces this tactical bomber is bombing this airbase and these 3 SBR’s are strategically bombing this IC? Or, does the player say, this tactical bomber and these 3 SBR’s are performing strategic and tactical bombing on this territory and then after fighter interceptors, fighter escorts are rolled for, if any, does the player announce which target they’re bombing?

2). Do tactical bombers get to roll a “1” during the combat phase, if the other player has fighter interceptors? Or, do only SBR’s roll “1’s” during this phase? Of course fighter interceptors and fighter escorts get to roll “1’s” during this phase as well.

[boldfresh]

You dont announce what bombers are bombing what until the air battle is over.  Tacs do get to roll in the air battle.

[gamerman01]

Right

Question RE: scramble.

I think I know the answer is no, but…. one can only hope.

If US parks its fleet on ncm next to an enemy airbase and then the UK attacks the territory with an amphib and the defender scrambles, does the US fleet participate in the pre-amphib naval combat?

It would be sweet if it could, but I gather the use of the word “attacker” in the scramble rule means only ships actually attacking and not just sailing around.

[gamerman01]

Right.  Only the units of the power taking the turn can be considered/used.

Note that if your units are on an allied transport and there are enemy surface ships or scrambled aircraft present, and you have none of your own naval or air units to bring to the zone in combat movement, you can not unload.

[Karl7]

ag, what I expected.

Is the Yukon territory inaccessible? Meaning, you can’t put units there? I’m trying to move an American AA gun from Alberta to Yukon in TripleA and it’s not letting me. Does that also mean that a Japanese tank can’t blitz from Alaska to Alberta? Thanks!

[boldfresh]

yukon territory is impassable, or merged with british columbia, however you prefer to see it.

Yukon territory does not even exist in 2nd edition.
He just grayed it out in Triple A rather than redraw the map.

Thanks Boldfresh and Gamerman!

Can the Soviets collect the SZ125/Archangel NO if they are at war with Italy, still neutral with Germany, but a German submarine is in SZ125?

[gamerman01]

@wheatbeer:

That’s a good question.

First of all, the Soviets do not need to be at war with Germany to collect the NO, because the rule book says “when the Soviet Union is at war in Europe”

The NO rule says there must be no Axis warships in Z125, which would indicate the answer is the Soviets do not collect the NO.

However, normally you can ignore units of powers with which you are not at war.

So I don’t know.  I do know that if there was no German sub, the Soviets would still collect, because only being at war with Italy is enough.

You’ll need Kreighund or someone who knows what Krieghund has said in the past.

No.  Even though Germany and the USSR are not themselves at war, Germany can still interdict Allied aid to the Soviets.

Is Eire supposed to be connected to the UK through Scotland via land?  I guess when looking at the map I would have never guessed it, but in my latest League game my opponent non-commed a mech infantry from UK to Eire through Scotland with no boats involved.

Just curious.  Thanks!

absolutely, you can walk from scotland to eire.

[gamerman01]

And yes, I was very surprised to learn the same thing awhile back
