2016 strategic planner (Axis) vs JDOW (allies +24)

[JDOW]

Not end the end of the round but at the beginning of the next round IF the ship is located at a friendly harbour (which is the case here).

So the ship will be repaired prior to you Japan combat moves in round 2.

[JDOW]

Please not that tripleA does not allow my to combat move the sub in 98 into 95 although it is a legal move, so I had to edit it:

Would you like to sramble in 95 and does the sub fight or submerge?

Please note about the sub in sz6:

If you decide to attack the sub you can consider the seazone hostile and attack the sub while moving units out of the seazone during combat move phase in order to avoid combat. So you could move a destroyer anywhere you want.

However the transports in sz6 can only leave the sz during combat move phase if the move results into combat.
This means: In case you decided to attack the sub the transports participate in the battle and in this case you can not do non combat movement with the transports in sz6.

Any units including tps can move out of a seazone with an enemy sub, but the tp simply can’t load units if it isn’t conducting an amphibious assault. So tps starting in a sz with an enemy sub can’t unload units if the sub is attacked, right?

[JDOW]

@Adam514:

Exactly!

So tps starting in a sz with an enemy sub can’t unload units if the sub is attacked, right?

The transports can’t load and unload units during NCM in this case.

About the background:
In the rulebook the situation is even different. According to the rulebook all fighting units must stay in the seazone if the sub is attacked because originally the sub does not make the seazone hostile.

However krieghund (you know him? He is in charge of making rules acutally) stated that this is kind of a loop hole which was not in the rulebook intentionally, so he changed the rules as stated in my original post.

[Adam514]

Yeah, it would have been a silly loophole if it was kept as it was.

[JDOW]

Frankly, it somehow still feels to me like a loophole like I currently try to exploit that transports can’t NCM after the sub is attacked.

I mean after a J1 DOW with 3 TTs in sz6 it is usually no option for Japan to waive NCM novement just to kill that sub.
Thus there imo nothing Japan can do in that spot but suffer the convoy damage, can’t she?

[Adam514]

Yeah, but it’s not that big of a deal and it won’t happen often. At least Japan has the option of ignoring it.
