No. Your one movement is the loading onto the transport. Any land unit on a transport can be loaded and offloaded on a single turn but it takes up all their movement.

The attacking sub attacks, and then the defending sub defend. If no one hits, the attacking sub attacks again and the defending sub defend again. this will repeat until one strikes and the other misses, both strikes or one dives. if the defending sub dives then the transport will be lost.

So here is my question, say a bomber can do a strategic strike or it can wait and conduct in general combat. Can a submarine NOT suprise strike and just conduct normal combat? Like in my sceniro, where it was one attacking sub vs. one defending sub and a loaded transport(which I know have no combat value) in one single SZ? My friend wanted to opt out of suprise striking with thier sub to conduct normal combat on my sub and transport that way he could keep attacking instead of only having the one shot with suprise stike. Is this a legit move or can the subs only suprise strike??
You’re misunderstanding Surprise Strike… it happens on every round of combat that an enemy destroyer is not present, not just the first one. So, if both subs fire and miss and both attacker and defender decide not to submerge, you have another round of surprise strike. And so on.
In your example the only way for the attacking sub not to have surprise strike would be if there was also a defending destroyer. On that case both the defending sub would first first his surprise strike, then the attacking sub would fire in normal combat, then the defending destroyer fires on normal combat.
Of course, if the defending submarine hits while rolling 1, the attacking submarine becomes fish food without even firing back since his surprise strike ability is cancelled by the defending destroyer. -
Thanks Hobbes for clarifying that for me, that cleared up some other questions I had as well. Also, Krieghund, thanks for the link for the FAQ, much appreciated. I cant wait to try my hand out on the MB Axis and Allies this weekend. Weapons development looks like another crazy variable to add into the game. Also, to anyone, what is the difference between the first and second additon? Is the first additon higher in value compared to a second? I cant seem to find anyting on this.

There were several rules changes made from the 1st edition (1984) to the 2nd (1986) to improve game balance. There were no changes made to the physical components. I have never heard of any difference in value between the two.
There was also a 4-page rules clarification supplement for the 2nd edition that was issued in 1991, and a set of 3rd edition rules (very minor changes) that came out with the CD-ROM game in 1997, but I can’t seem to locate either of them anywhere on-line. The 2nd edition seems to be preferred by the vast majority of players.

@rulebook:

even in a hostile sea zone. No combat occurs because the Conduct Combat phase is over. -

Yes.

You cannot land the fighters before the AC is mobilized during mobilization phase. But you can bring the fighters to the SZ in which the AC will be mobilized.
This can be either in combat move phase (if there will be a battle in that SZ where the AC will be placed later) or in the noncombat move phase. -
