Another little doubt about the rules…

Something I struggled with as well because I usually make a move then battle then move into another battle, so on……but yeah you cannot move through freshly conquered territory, you must stop at that territory for that turn.

Yard sale.  eBay attempted to plunder my bank account when someone claimed they didnt get a package I shipped, even though I had the tracking information proving it arrived at his registered address.  Luckily, I had closed the account, so now I have the cash, but can’t use ebay or paypal.

Fair enough.

But that “settlement” does violate black-letter game rules over an ambiguity that does not really exist.

I think it was allowed in 2nd Ed,
or better: there must be one edition where you could do that.

Yes (but not air units), although in practive you should rarely do this. If you wanted the units there at the end they should have been part of the battle. I can see some situations where you might hold back when attack several spots so as to reinforce the 1 spot where you might have taken a beating or went better then you thought perhaps.

BB

it sounds like a fun variant, but i can see where Geze is coming from. Although i hate losing, i would feel bad beating a player with a superior position because of a 1 in 36 shot (or 5 in 36, or whatever). The point is, although it may even out the field a little bit, and it might be fun at times, it does nothing to separate out the winners from the losers (he says at the same instant that Zero is kicking his ass).

@Anonymous:

So if the battleship moves in to a country

BBs move in sea zones(aka SZs)

that has troops ,but no naval at it, then the battleship can just chill at the shore.

CORRECT

But then if they have an industrial complex there and they buy a new battleship or sub, and they have to place it, are those 2 in immediate battle? Or is it immediate battle once it’s my turn again? Or is there no battle until someone initiates it?

IT DEPENDS ON WHICH RULES VERSION YOU PLAY BY AND/OR WHAT VARIATIONS THE PLAYERS HAVE AGREED TO USE. THE MOST COMMONLY USED RULES(3rd edition) GIVE YOU THE CHOICE(ON YOUR TURN) TO EITHER ENGAGE THE ENEMY OR RETREAT.

What i meant before (to help clarify) was that with the planes you move 2 / attack / then fall back 2. Does a battleship move and do the ‘single shot’ attack and then fall back again? Or does it stay right next to the island it attacked?

YES,HOWEVER, REMEMBER THAT A BB CAN ONLY FIRE ON LAND UNITS WHEN SUPPORTING AN AMPHIBIOUS INVASION (TRANSPORT [TRN] DROPPING OFF INFANTRY[INF] OR ARMOR[ARM].

I sure it’ll work out for the Germans being able to launch surprise inf/arm assualts into Finland/Norway with the support of the Luftwaffe. This forces UK/USA to be cautious when landing troops there. However, I think that this should be more of a “Germany only” type rule. As SUD pointed out, with the Allies also having the ability to Canal Cross, this forces Germany to keep troops stationed in the Fatherland, not pretty when you’re also trying to hold EE at the same time.
