You never control a sea zone.
Sea zones are either friendly (contain no enemy surface warship) or hostile (contain enemy surface warship(s)).
The result of a sea battle is that you have cleared it of enemy units (or not).

@Krieghund
Thank you.

@lagouyn said in 1941: combat move rule uncertainty:

Does this paragraph just mean you control a territory you’ve vacated until an enemy captures it?

Hi lagouyn

Yes. That is what it means.

@smallprint76 said in Is Northern Ireland considered connected to Sea Zone 9?:

@panther

Thanks for your response.

I was kind of coming to the conclusion that Northern Ireland was not connected to SS9 on my own but good to get clarification. Makes sense, due to the way the map is drawn and the fact that you can’t go through neutral territories (Ireland).

Yes, indeed.

Follow on question would then be are N.Ireland and UK considered same game space.

Yes

On board they look like they are almost touching. But assume you can take a ship through Irish straits.

Yes, sea zones 6 and 8 are adjacent.

So do you have to move troops to Northern Ireland using a transport?

No, Northern Ireland is not a separate territory.

And if someone attacked UK would NI units be considered part of battle?

Yes, Northern Ireland is not a separate territory.

@panther Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, I have finished translating the whole rulebook, but I’ll be sure to use if I ever translate the 1940 and 1942 versions. Right now, I’m going to work on the Anniversary version instead, even though I don’t own that version (nor the 1940 and 1942 versions). Thank you very much for your help.

@superbattleshipyamato

It’s a general concept of every A&A game (at least those on a Global scope, also 1940 Europe and 1940 Pacific).

@drice_new

I was confused by the rules for a while regarding that. I thought it was each group (all units that hit a 1, all units that hit at 2) roll for all the units.

When I moved on to Global 1940 and brought that mistake with me, it led to a problem where 12 US bombers (give or take) were unable to sink a Japanese fleet of 1 aircraft carrier, 1 destroyer, 2 fighters, and 1 battleship.

I figured it out later on, and I’ve been playing correctly for a year.
