Thanks!

Can I move land units from Greece into Turkey without a transport, pretty sure I can’t, but someone wants me to ask.

Yes you can walk from Greece to Turkey.  Absolutely no transports needed.

Ok, thanks for that… gonna have to edit my tutorial video.  :-( my bad

Any time, YG

I know this isn’t the place to post this…but does anybody know what LHTR for carrier production rules are?
Some of us are going to play a team game of World at War and that’s a game option. And I’m not sure if we want that or not.

I’m pretty sure it means that you can place fighters on new carriers.  That didn’t use to be allowed.  This would include newly purchased fighters and also existing fighters landing on new carriers.  Back in the original, new carriers were always without planes because they weren’t allowed.  I believe LHTR was to change that and allow planes

That’s correct.  However, it may also refer to the fact that carriers cost 16 IPCs in LHTR.

thanks for the answers. We’ll go ahead and use those rules.

Whether its Europe or global, if Germany makes an attack on Russia, sea or land units, Russia automatically enters the war, correct?
And, when at war, does an axis Sub prevent Russia from collecting the SZ 125 N.O?

Answering for global only,
You have to declare war on a power to attack any of its things or take its territory.
When Russia is at war, any Axis sub in 125 disrupts the Russian NO, yes, even if Russia is not at war with the power who owns the sub.

What happens to the IPC’s if you lose your capital but on your turn you take a capital?  Example:  UK takes Berlin but on Germany’s turn they take Moscow.

Germany will get Russia’s cash.

@rulebook:

Capturing and Liberating Capitals
If a power captures a territory containing an enemy
capital (Washington, London, Moscow, etc.), follow the
same rules as for capturing a territory. Add the captured
territory’s income value to your national production level.
In addition, you collect all unspent IPCs from the treasury
of the original controller of the captured capital. For
example, if Germany conquers Russia, and the Soviet
Union has unspent IPCs, those IPCs are immediately
transferred to Germany’s player. You collect these IPCs
even if your own capital is in enemy hands.

1. Can a lone transport load ground units if an enemy sub is present in the sz during the non combat phase?

I know they can’t during the combat phase without another naval unit present. Right?  Would a sub count?

2. A German tank enters an empty french owned Normandy during the combat phase.  It cannot blitz because the facilities prevent this correct?

3)I know tanks can blitz through unoccupied hostile territory to another territory but that all takes place during the combat phase.  A tank or mech can never move during the combat phase and the non combat phase correct?  Thank you.

Yes.  Could do it in the combat phase too.

I know they can’t during the combat phase without another naval unit present. Right?  Would a sub count?

No, this is not for LOADING but for UNLOADING that a sub stops unescorted transports.  The sub has to be in the sea zone that the amphibious assault would be launched from.  A sub counts as escort, as does a carrier.

2. A German tank enters an empty french owned Normandy during the combat phase.  It cannot blitz because the facilities prevent this correct?

Correct, facilities and AAA guns prevent blitzing.

3)I know tanks can blitz through unoccupied hostile territory to another territory but that all takes place during the combat phase.  A tank or mech can never move during the combat phase and the non combat phase correct?  Thank you.

Correct.  A tank may complete a blitzing move into a friendly territory on the 2nd move, all during the combat phase.  Actually, that’s when it MUST move to the friendly territory, if it is to do so

In the A&A P40 FAQ from wizards.com one of the errata says:
" (…) Following any such unprovoked declaration of war by Japan, the United States will receive an immediate one-time bonus payment of 30
IPCs, representing the total mobilization and transfer of military assets within the continental United States."

Does this apply to AAG40 aswell?

No, FADM. That is only on Pacific. The standard at war NOs count in Global.
That special 30 was introduced, as it was found Japan could sneak the US and capture its capital. Is for balance in Pacific only.

Was not only because of a rush at San Francisco, but because J1 was the no-brainer DOW turn without it.  And the game being imbalanced toward Japan in general.  It was introduced to fix all of those factors, in my understanding.

How does the French DOW on Japan work?  Can France declare war on Japan at anytime?  Does that have a bearing on any of the other Pacific combatants or Japan’s prewar NO?

so the payment is done immediate after DOW from Japan. Then on the Collect Income phase USA gets it’s normal NO.  Am i getting it right?
