Yeah, I really hate when dice are like this on round 1 (for either side).  It has a much stronger impact than getting diced in later rounds.

No scramble this time.

I just checked out the Powers That Begin the Game Neutral (I always read the FAQ posts) and the transport loading situation on a DOW turn is actually listed as an exception.

I feel bad since I have an open tourney game that’s going to be messed up now.

I wish this exception was listed on page 13 of the rules (Units Starting in Hostile Sea Zones) … rules in the game still surprising me  :lol:

kcdzim seems to be saying that neither Japan nor the UK aren’t technically powers that that begin the game neutral … I am not 100% sure, but he may be saying that the rule on page 15 won’t apply to our SZ36 scenario.
