MOVED: A&A 1940: Global Questions

@wittmann:

Afternoon Suprtramp.
Yes it can. Only Navy blocks naval movement(or a Strait of course!).
An island is a separate territory, yes.

With the exception of Subs and Transports, which cannot block enemy movement by themselves.

@moompix:

They can’t hit the subs, or be hit by the subs. So, what would be the point?

just a question dude.  maybe some new thing with the whole “scramble” thing.

Ok, that makes sense.  Sorry for the dumb question. :-P

There are rules that list what happens when a facility becomes inoperable. losing their AA ability isn’t on the list, they still have it.

At the very beginning of the Conduct Combat phase, before combat is begun.  For all practical purposes, when you said.

(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.

Krupp Steel, I think its a good guess to say that the Soveits are going to have a large force on the manchurian border.
The Soveits scored a vicotry against Japan in their 1938-1939 war at battle of Nomonhan, but still saw Japan as a threat and it wasnt until april 13 1941 that the two sides signed a five year non-agresion pact.

I second that, very good post.
