Sub Question

@Gragor:

Hey, Just wondering if you have a fighter on an AC and say you move that fighter to the adjacent sea zone. do you need to count one movement point to take off from the AC?

Aircraft movement is only counted when an aircraft crosses a map border:

Territory to Territory
Seazone to Seazone
Seazone to Territory
Seazone to Island

It’s one move to the adjacent seazone from a carrier seazone, but there is no movement point for “taking off”.  You may consider your planes as already/always in the air on your turn or an enemies turn (but not in the air on an allies turn - that’s when they’re cargo).

yeah, its my mistake. the rulebook says that the US gets their 40 ipc boost in the turn after a japanse attack on a allied territory. China is not included

@Krieghund:

Welcome, Stefano1189!

While it’s not at war, the US may not move units into territories belonging to other powers, including the Dutch territories.  After it’s at war, it may occupy Dutch territories (move units there), but it may not take control of them unless it’s recapturing them from Japan.

See the FAQ for more information.

Thank you Krieg!

The unloading action is what stops a transport’s movement capability, whether you bridge and not move, load and move one space to unload or load and move 2 spaces to unload, etc etc.

@Jagdtiger:

Excuse me if this has been covered somewhere before, but I’m a newbie on this forum, and cant seem to find it.  
Question:  On turn J1 or J2…Japan has not and does not DOW anyone.  If the Japanese attack an un-occupied(never occupied by UK or ANZAC) Dutch territory, the UK and ANZAC consider that an act of war.  Because of this would the US be able to declare war on Japan on US1 or US2?  Answer:  I say no, because Japan did not declare war on UK or ANZAC.  But it is kinda fuzzy and I can see a possible argument for the other side of this…ie…Japan committed an act of war.
Thanks

Japan must declare war on UK/ANZAC to invade a dutch colony.  Upon declaring war with UK/Anzac the US immediately declares war on Japan.

You can only invade a dutch colony without provoking US involvment if UK or Anzac attack Japan first.

right, so he can destroy the xport, or bombard, but not both.

Thanks, not really a big deal.

I’m now somewhat curious about the reasons for the “under protection” wording.

Why not just:

Dutch like power whose capital is controlled by enemy
except UK/ANZAC can take control

If UK/ANZAC provokes war, Japan is free to attack the UK/ANZAC and take Dutch territories, without bringing the US into the war.

I haven’t had a chance to play yet but I’m thinking this may elevate subs to the strategic asset they should be.  :-D
