Is there some rule preventing me from loading transports in sz36 after a DOW?

It’s the only reason I can think of why you would move that dd there.  TripleA allows it, but I don’t see it listed in the ‘TripleA Problems’ page.

My basement group and I have pondered this scenario.  With TripleA not enforcing the rule (if units start in the sea space) and it not clearly specified in the ‘TripleA Problems’ page, and we can find only passing reference to loading in friendly sea zones in the rules, we were wondering if it would actually be correct but never pursued it.  I’m sure it’s there laid out in full color examples, which shows how much effort we put into getting to the bottom of it - heh

I’m sure you have done the homework and take your word for it.  It does make sense.

My strategy is blown and my chances for a win are lost!!  Not ;)  My Japan strategy needs work anyhow, this will leverage some creativity into it  8-)
