My mistake. There was a enemy submarine in the only viable sea zone I could retreat to. While I ran right over it on my way to the attack I’ve realized that perhaps it’s not legal to retreat back unto it.
Actually according to the faq tread and the rulebook when I’m double check the submarine should not make the sea zone hostile so I should be allowed to retreat.
Attaching the save.

Maybe I found the reason:
Assuming you are talking about the round 6 German attack from SZ 113 via SZ 114 to SZ 115 with the amphibious assault in Novgorod:
There is no sea battle in SZ 115 so there is nothing to retreat from.
Veqryn, how can I edit mode a loaded transport to a seazone?
I get an error saying “cannot add land units to water”.

You have to use “EDIT MOVE” to do that.
Edit the land units onto some land touching the sea zone. Edit some transport into the sea zone.
Click on the “ACTION tab”, and assuming it is either combat move or noncombat move, you can then move them around to where ever you want.

As I explained in an earlier post I create the battle by scrambling air from Novgorod. Wanted to mimic the original battle as much as possible in order to get the same result. (ie an inability to retreat)

Sorry, I did not read anything about the initial scramble in your posts so maybe I have overseen this.
Anyway, this is an interesting scenario. I will further investigate…

OK, thanks :-)

This is what I found out:
1. I tested a scenario in which three fighters scrambled to SZ 115 . The attacking ships scored 1 hit and the defending fighters scored 1 hit. TripleA did not give me the option to retreat, although the submarines in SZ 114 did not conduct combat before.
2. Same scenario as 1 - but I removed the Russian sub in SZ 114 before. Now after the first round of combat in SZ 115 the option to retreat was given - and the German units retreated successfully to SZ 114.
Conclusion: TripleA seems to treat SZ 114 as hostile when the Russian submarine is present - no matter if there is/was or will be a combat.
So the presence of the sub is not and cannot be ignored - … so it seems to be a bug.
fixed the retreat thing for next version
@ Cmdr Jennifer,

new version to be out soon!
Is there any reason why China lacks a capital?
Is there any reason why China lacks a capital?
China doesn’t have a capital in the Board game version of AAG40
And the reason China doesn’t have a capital in the board game is because it was meant to be impossible to take over their capital, which allows you to take a country’s money and stop all production and income.
The capital of China IS a victory city. But China doesn’t have a “capital” like the other powers, by design.
ok, i have 2 fixes lined up for version 3.7 of global 1940 2nd edition:
1. fixed japanese national objective so that if germany/italy takes india and/or the other power centers in asia, that japan gets her money
2. allowed rockets to gang up on infrastructure
anything else i need to change (that is specific to this map) ?

Krieghund points out a rule change from Alpha3 to 2nd Ed. that I did not notice before:
In the Alpha 3 rules, the application of Soviet neutrality was absolute, based on the two maps. For instance, if the USSR were only at war with Japan, Japan could not move into Soviet territories on the Europe map, and Germany and Italy (not at war with the USSR) could move into captured Soviet territories on the Pacific map.
In the 2nd edition rules, this has been changed so that powers at war with the USSR can move into Soviet territories on either map, and powers not at war with the USSR cannot move into captured Soviet territories on the other map. Using the same example, Japan could attack Soviet territories on the Europe map, and Germany and Italy could not move into captured Soviet territories on the Pacific map.
I don’t know how this is handled in TripleA, actually.
But i wanted to mention it to be sure that it does not get lost.
Oh my goodness.
No wonder there’s so much confusion about the rules of G40. That’s crazy.

Well, this doesn’t come up often while the USSR is not at war. In fact, I don’t know if I’ve seen Japan attack the USSR while they were still neutral with Germany.
If Germany is attacking in Siberia then the game is probably over.
