Cruiser question

Shakespeare: there are six: SZ 6,17, 19, 20, 22 and 35.

Movement is counted every time a unit crosses a border.  Land to land, land to sea zone or seazone to seazone.

Formosa-Z20-Z36-Z37-siam is 4 moves as it crosses the borders between (1) formosa and SZ20, (2) SZ20 to SZ36, (3) SZ36 to SZ 37 and finally (4) SZ37 to Siam.

If you move a plane through a seazone that includes an island you are not obligated to cross the island border unless you’re landing there or attacking there.  Otherwise you just move through the seazone and ignore the island.

@Krieghund:

There is no rolling versus defenseless transports.  By definition, transports that can retreat are not defenseless, so combat would be conducted normally.

Perfect. Thanks!

I use:

transport - TT
strategic bomber - bmb
cruiser - CR
submarine - sb

In case of an allies capital being captured: (Correct me if I’m wrong)
Say The Gilbert Isles are in Jap hands, along with India (UK capital). If the US liberates Gilbert, then on the US next turn (If India has not been liberated) the US can place an AB/NB there. Gilbert would (temporarily) belong to the US. If India (UK capital) is liberated, Gilbert and its new base would go back to UK. It would be the same for tt that are eligible for IC’s (say Kwangtung).

If you destroy 12 IPCs as Japan the US is down to 38 or so. If Japan keeps up with the US Navy builds it seems like that would keep the Japanese on a pretty even playing field with the US.

In that case I will place some subs in that seazone, and as you know they fire a 2 against lonely trannies, so now you’ll need escort, and then……they come…
