Question

We have always just had it where the person chose what to lose, I guess we need to change that in my group. The reason was we just rolled dice and when ones came up the person who was hit just took what they wanted to lose.

The unloading action is what stops a transport’s movement capability, whether you bridge and not move, load and move one space to unload or load and move 2 spaces to unload, etc etc.

Nevermind - the answer is on pg. 16.  Looks like attacking air units can either be chosen to defend against the scramble (i.e. participate in the sea battle), or can ignore the scramble and assist in the amphib assault - but cannot do both.

@WILD:

I do have one question concerning US not yet at war. Say Japan is still only at war w/China in the 2nd round. The UK/US have moved ships to say sz 43 (Borneo). Japan attacks the UK (unprovoked) in sz 43 immediately bringing the UK/Anzac into the war. This act is also considered a Dec of War w/US as well.

No, it isn’t.

@WILD:

Can Japan still ignore the US ships there, or does this attack also mean you must attack the US ships because your intent will bring the US into the war (like now having to declare a convoy attack on your turn). It will also make a difference if you can bombard Borneo as well if there are no UK surface war ships, only US surface war ships in the sz.

Japan may declare war on UK/ANZAC only and ignore any US ships in the sea zone.  Of course, this means that Japan will be unable to atack any US forces or territories that turn.  The US will then be eligible to declare war on Japan on its next turn.

what? neeh
fool me another one

@Jagdtiger:

Excuse me if this has been covered somewhere before, but I’m a newbie on this forum, and cant seem to find it.  
Question:  On turn J1 or J2…Japan has not and does not DOW anyone.  If the Japanese attack an un-occupied(never occupied by UK or ANZAC) Dutch territory, the UK and ANZAC consider that an act of war.  Because of this would the US be able to declare war on Japan on US1 or US2?  Answer:  I say no, because Japan did not declare war on UK or ANZAC.  But it is kinda fuzzy and I can see a possible argument for the other side of this…ie…Japan committed an act of war.
Thanks

Japan must declare war on UK/ANZAC to invade a dutch colony.  Upon declaring war with UK/Anzac the US immediately declares war on Japan.

You can only invade a dutch colony without provoking US involvment if UK or Anzac attack Japan first.

@Lozmoid:

So - I trust you pay for the upgrade during the Purchase & Repair Units phase, and then the upgrade actually takes place during the Mobilize New Units phase. Is this correct?

Yes.

@Lozmoid:

If this is correct, then I assume that the newly upgraded IC (now a Major Industrial Complex) cannot begin to mobilize its full quota of 10 units until the owning player’s next turn. Is that right? It can still only build 3 units during the turn in which it was upgraded. Please advise if I am wrong.

You are correct.

You guess correctly.  Your transports need an escort when amphibiously assaulting an island with an airbase.

@Omega:

Just a quick question : So the AC now has 0 attack. What is his defense? Still 2?

Did they modify the defense on the battleboard?

0/2/2/16 with 2 hits.  the battleboard is incorrect and lists it as attacking on 1.
