Transport leaving from naval base

I started to buy a BB paired with a CV and if sz 106 was taken, two DD’s on round 1.
Why?
This simply allows me to keep up with IJN in the Naval deployment race for the first few turns.

Ok thanks Simon33. This is in the global europe rules which I found.

Thx guys. Problem solved.  :-D

Hi alecug,

Hey, we were all new once.  ;)

A list of acronyms that are thrown around this site quite a bit can be found here:

I hope you find that info useful, and welcome!

@bracconebaldo:

In the case i mobilize new naval units in an occupied SZ…the opponent can always move his naval units from that SZ?

Yes, he is not forced to fight your new reinforcements. He can opt but doesn’t have to. I think this is the only situation where units can (must) move during the CM without triggering a combat.

Ofc, those units cannot move again during the NCM…

A naval base isn’t needed to load transports. A transport can take 2 units from 2 different territories as long as the territory is adjacent to the transport’s sea zone. It can also take 1 unit, move into another sea zone, and load another unit from an adjacent territory.

And yes, you can use Eastern USA’s Naval base to move the transports to offload in Morocco. Naval Bases serve all friendly ships in sea zones adjacent to the territory that the Naval base is on.

@wheatbeer:

Page 20 in the Europe rulebook says its possible:
“An attacking land unit can assault a coastal territory from an ally’s transport, but only on the attacking land unit owner’s turn.”

Clear enough! Thank you!

@wheatbeer:

The transport unit description doesn’t seem to contradict this.

I still am a bit confused because of the Transport unit description
“Amphibious Assaults: A transport can take part in an amphibious assault step of the Conduct Combat phase. That is the only time a transport can offload into a hostile territory.”

So in fact a transport can offload into a hostile territory under two circumstances:
1. own troops in an amphibious assault on it’s own combat move
2. allied troops (cargo) as part of the combat move of the allied nation
  (but here the Transport cannot be part of the amphibious assault because allied nations never attack together)

But no more arguing, I am convinced now.
Thank you again.
:-)

IMO, if transports or any other ship enters SZ with enemy sub, sub should always have the opyion of suprize attack shot. Thats the way i play it.
