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

I have another question.  It is round 2 and Russia is not at war.  Russia moves sub from sz 127 to sz 112.  On UK’s turn they move a lone destroyer to sz 112.  Germany has their navy in sz 113.  UK hasn’t any navy in the Atlantic, other than the lone destroyer.  My question is, can Germany just attack the UK destroyer and not upset the Russian neutrality?

Yes, Germany can attack the UK destroyer and ignore the Russian sub.

At sea, you can ignore units of powers with which you are not at war, and you can attack units in the same sea zones belonging to powers with whom you are at war.
It’s on land that you must declare war on all powers that have units in the territory you are attacking.

Thanks again!!

Question about the NO’s for global -

Does the US get the 25 IPC bonus when they are at war? or is that just in the European version?

Thanks!

It’s different in Global.

@rulebook:

National Objective and Bonus Income: The objective of the United States is to become “the Arsenal of Democracy” and defeat the Axis powers. To reflect this objective, the United States collects bonus IPC income during each of its Collect Income phases in the following situations:
When the United States Is at War:
-  10 IPCs if the United States controls all of the following territories: Eastern United States, Central United States, and Western United States. Theme: Basic national sovereignty.
-  5 IPCs if the United States controls all of the following territories: Alaska, Aleutian Islands, Hawaiian Islands, Johnston Island, and Line Islands. Theme: National sovereignty issues.
-  5 IPCs if the United States controls all of the following territories: Mexico, South Eastern Mexico, Central America, and West Indies. Theme: Defense treaty and trade obligations.
-  5 IPCs if the United States controls Philippines. Theme: Center of American influence in Asia.
-  5 IPCs if there is at least 1 United States land unit in the territory France. Theme: Great Alliance collaboration

Thanks!

I just wanted to make sure!

Welcome to the boards, Aaron - feel free to ask your rules questions here any time you have any doubts or wonderings.

Thanks Gamerman,

I have been a long time reader - but I just recently signed up. I’m glad to be here. Everyone I have encountered so far has been very helpful.  :-D

Great to hear.

This may have been asked, but would like clarification on kamikaze rules. It was my understanding that an amphibious assault IN one of the designated sea zones could trigger an attack IF there were eligible unit involved in an attack on units in that zone or an amphibious assault was occurring IN that sea zone.  Using tripleA, noticed that sending a transport from z35 to another zone for an amphibious assault (Only a transport) it triggered the kamikaze attack on the remaining ships in z35.

I feel this is inaccurate, but wanted clarification.

Thank you.

You’re right.
Kamikazes can only target surface warships, so if there are no surface warships then kamikazes cannot be used.

Been away from the game for some time and just recently bought the second editions.  Convoy Disruption Question:  Am I reading this right? The rule book states, “The sea zone must be adjacent to one or more of YOUR controlled territories.” Is this in the pretense of me being attacked or myself the aggressor, because why would you disrupt a convoy adjacent to your own territory? Just reads unassumingly. Also, “At least one warship belonging to a power you are at war with must be in the sea zone.” Can you no longer disrupt convoy sea zones that are devoid of enemy ships? Also if there were enemy ships in the convoy wouldn’t a battle engagement precede the convoy disruption?

Same as OOB you just check convoy zones for enemy ships in the Collect Income phase.

On YOUR turn, you might lose income if ENEMY ships (and carrier based planes and tacs) are in convoy zones adjacent to YOUR territories.

It is independent of conventional naval combat.  If an enemy ship is in your convoy zone after your combat phase (because it’s in the collect income phase at the end of your turn), you might lose income (depends on dice)

Thanks Gamer, that’s what I thought, just read a little funny to me from the rule book.

No problem

That did answer all your convoy questions, then?

Yes,thanks

Thank you Gamermon for the clarification.

Hi kilroynothere ,
in which version of TripleA the error occurs?
Please send a PM or maybe the savefile with a notice to Veqryn and his team, so they can fix it in the next TripleA version!

I need clarity on the Allies landing planes in Dutch territories…

1. Can an Allied plane land in Dutch territory on Non-Com movement if not yet taken by a land unit from either Axis or Allies (still orange)

2. Can an Allied plane land on Non-Com movement in a newly “converted” Dutch territory. (just converted fronm Orange on the same non-com turn.

Again, the rule book does not clearly state, but says: [British/Anz] may, however, move units into Dutch territories as a noncombat movement at any time, as long as those territories have not been captured by an Axis power.
