Combat question

You are correct Carolina :-)

Nope.  Tanks can move up to 2 spaces, either in combat move phase OR in noncombat phase; not both.  If they are moving in combat move phase and they encounter any unit in the first territory they have to stop right there.  As of the noncombat move phase of the turn, they have already made a move for that turn so they can;t move a second time.

As for mechs, they can’t blitz but if they are paried up with a tank they can move together but the tank/mech combo must start and end in the same territory

Great!

Hope your next game develops into something more.

Just remember, the Axis powers (specifically Germany) have a much easier time winning than the Allies. (Axis are OP)

Yes to all.

@triforce:

I was wondering about that too.  How do you play on-line.  Do you just trust each other to honestly report rolls?

In my first games with Trihero we did exactly that… rolled real dice and posted the results.

We have switched to an online dicey though… not for any problem with honest reporting, but that it is just so much FASTER.  With real dice, we had to each be online for each half of a battle sequence… so a single battle could take several sessions to resolve (we were both often online together, so was fairly quick, but without that… a single move could take DAYS.  With a Dicey, you can (in almost all cases) do an entire nation’s move in one sitting.

In basic A & A, you must unload all troops from a TR on the same territory, & once the troops are offloaded, the TRs movement ends. You CAN p/u troops from different locations (say load one INF in Phillipines, move TR to Okinawa, load another INF at Okinawa, move to Sea Of Japan SZ, unload both INF in Manchuria), but they all must be unloaded on the same territory (in the example, the 2 INF could be unloaded on either Manchuria or Japan Home Islands but not one on each).

In any case where a unit is involved in combat on Combat Phase, that unit’s move ends & it may not move again on Non-Combat Movement. The only exceptions are FTRs & BMRs which may fly out on Combat Move, be part of a battle in Combat, then fly back on Non-Combat Movement.

It’s possible I’m wrong about the landing of units on 2 land territories adjacent to the same body of water as the TR, but if I am, the rule is logical, & intuitive & I would recommend using it anyway…

You know what? I found the 3rd edition rules for the A&A CD-ROM game. It answers my question. It seems only defending subs can submerge. And, if they surface to find enemy naval units, they must fight on your next turn…for at least one round of firing. So, I finally understand. Submerging is meant for defending against air attacks! Thanks anyway!

Agreed. The attack had better be supported well enough to avoid that scenario…
