Global 2nd edition Q+A ( AAG40.2)

It is only at sea that you can ignore the units of powers with which you are not at war

On land, YOU CAN NEVER ATTACK a territory that contains a single unit of a power with which you are not at war.
In your example, Russia is not allowed to attack East Poland without declaring war on Germany because German units are in East Poland.

Note that Triple A does not always properly observe this rule.

UK offload inf from USA transport and attack Germany land. Germany scramble 3 fig. The USA transport is not protected by any attacking force. What’s the result? The scramble stops the amphibious attack or what?

Right.  Krieghund has specifically stated that in this situation the UK would be unable to assault unless you have UK surface warships and/or aircraft that can fight the scrambled German fighters.
If you have no UK surface warships or aircraft and Germany scrambles, then the landing is not allowed and no fighting takes place - no units are destroyed.

oic. Thank you.

Any time, Q!

One clarification please.
If axis don’t attack USA in R3, can USA player declare war in his R3 or must he wait til R4?
I thought USA can declare war, but i see in post here that people talk about USA declaring war in R4 so I’m puzzled.

Crobattalion: the US can declare war in the Collect Income phase of its third turn, not the beginning of its Combat Round, like all other nations do.
This means it cannot do anything agressive in its third turn: the movement restrictions are still in place.

ok, thank you

Forgot something

If Russia attacks Korea does that change the mongolian situation?

which means the japanese can then attack russian territories bordering mongolia without the mongolians joining the russians.  :-)

Yes
Korea was added with the 2nd edition (was not even in Alpha3) to territories Russia could not attack without losing the Mongolians.

Assuming you mean Japan has not invaded a Russian territory bordering Mongolia yet.

Holy smokes 69 pages for FAQ…is there a class I can take to learn how to play this game

The previous Global 1940 FAQ thread (before 2nd edition) was 219 pages (a good chunk was redundant, but still  :lol:).

While a pretty deep and semi-complex game, the 1940 rule books are VERY good. I wouldn’t be exaggerating much saying 50% of the answers to questions in this post can be found in the rulebook.

Agreed.  The answer to about half of the questions on these threads are obvious if you do a reasonable read of the rule book.

I would be happy to provide you with intensive A&A training for $50 an hour - cheaper than a college class!  :-D

Urgent ruling needed!

Germany controll EP and Romania. They have 5 tank in EP and 5mec in Romania.

Bessarabia is empty russian (no units).

Can German mech attack Ukraine as they “meet” German tanks in bessarabia.

None of the mech in East Poland can get to Ukraine in the combat move.

Each mech must be paired with a tank, and they both must start and end their combat movement together.

Page 28 of the Rulebook (Europe) under Mechanized Infantry - “Blitz” section.

In what circumstances would fighter be given 1 extra space movement to land?
