Sea base question

@fanofbond:

The US is amphibious assaulting Korea and can the planes in japan scramble to kill the transports in the seazone.  The are no jap ships in the sea zone.

The scrambling fighters will defend the seazone, not the territory.

The two units must start and end their movement together.

@The:

cool, thanks. And I knew that the U.S. technically wouldn’t earn any money with the Western U.S. taken, but I was really referring to the Global game where the Western U.S. wouldn’t be the capital.

Well there will be a new set of rules for the global game. It’s hard to say the impact that’ll have, though it’s good to get the question out early so them who make the rules will address it correctly.

@Gravy:

Can I move my carriers into a sea zone that has 2 enemy subs in it in order to land my fighters on them during non-combat phase.

Also do subs get to fire at surface ships that move thru their sea zones. I know they get to fire at transports but not sure about surface ships.  Thanks

Yes, if there is no enemy surface warship present, you can always choose to ignore enemy subs (and transports) during movement in combat or noncombat.

No.

Yes and yes.

(Wow I just spent way too long with 50x errors!!)
Anyway, I was thinking some UK player might to trigger a Japanese DOW.

…and just trying to proof the FAQ. Bad habit’s die hard.

You can’t trigger war or make someone else trigger war. War is declared at the start of your movement phase.

If the UK and Japan aren’t at war, the UK is free to move unescorted transports through sea zones containing Japanese subs.

Granted.
I was just trying to point things out tactfully.

While the US is not at war, it may not use UK or ANZAC naval bases, and UK/ANZAC may not use US bases.  UK and ANZAC are always free to use each other’s bases.

I would like to thank you guys for the advice, because I won my game against my best buddy.

I immediately pushed my Navy South and took NSW from the Austrailians (he had alot of troops in Queensland).  I also built a factory in Kwangtung which the next turn I made 9 men there (and a transport) followed by 10 tanks the next turn.  I traded NSW for a few turns back and forth eventually killing off all the Australian troops two turns before America could send their then massive navy to Austrailia.

I used two transports and took Sumatra and Malaya with Battleship and Destroyer support, and smashed the remaining Brits and 3 Chinese in Yunnan at the cost of about 8 planes to the 4 British planes and several infantry.

With Australia clear of troops I moved transports and bombers into a poor India and took it over and blocked the United States from reaching Austrailia, Japan, or the Phillipenes.

Thank you all for the advice, but next time Ill attack sooner with Japan, the Brits got rich fast which caused me a big headache.
