Tirano (X) Vs. Joecool (L)

Here’s a rules question for you: Can you Italian tank blitz through Trans-Jordan (combat) AND move into Iraq (non-combat) all in one turn?

You guys should have an official answer in a minute. I don’t think you can as one move is combat and the other NCM……but I am always getting this wrong. Typically if the Triple A program allows it then it is ok, there are a few exceptions that AAA get’s wrong but not many.

As I review the 2nd ed rules, it appears to specify that only units that did not move during combat movement may move during non-combat movement. It also specifies that movement into a friendly neutral is a non-combat move. But I will certainly bow to whatever official ruling comes down.

I agree with you two . If Iraq is FN, then you cannot move there in CM, which attacking TJ necessitates. Iraq is not attabinable, unless you have another Tank or a  Mech two spaces from it, when the Non com phase begins.

In SZ 92 I will scramble 1 French and 2 British fighters.

Here’s my OOL:
Damage the carrier, destroyer, sink the carrier, cruiser, French fighter, and then the British fighters. Any surviving British fighters should land in Gibraltar.

My British fleet lost? :-o Dice gods, what have I done to offend you???
