The answer is in the same paragraph you posted. A transport does not need any warships to LOAD a unit in Combat Movement. It just needs a warship to UNLOAD for an amphibious assault if there is a lone submarine present.

The key is the sea zone is friendly if there is just a submarine there when you loaded as per the last sentence below.

@Booper

well, world conquest wouldn’t change the duration THAT much, since the allies official requirement is already pretty much that. It already just plays until the axis win or concede they have no hope of winning and will inevitably be ground down.

@yazoinkergrapft Yes, the United States is allowed to declare war. If it does, the sea zone immediately becomes hostile, as there are enemy surface warships in it. However, since the United States is not declaring war until the Collect Income phase, during the Combat Move, Conduct Combat, and Noncombat Move phases the sea zone is still friendly, so the United States can still occupy it freely. On Japan’s next turn, its units in the sea zone will be starting the turn in an enemy-occupied sea zone, so the normal rules for that situation apply (those units must either move away in combat movement or attack).

@Overkill I use the Tiger tanks from 1941 …the FW-190s from that game also…I also use the white complexes to represent major factories…I’m now thinking about using the tanks from Stalingrad also…

The House Rules Expansion fixes this

@Gargantua interesting strategy. What do you attack with your mobile force? Do you hit the main stack moving forward to moscow or do you wait from the flanks to attack his rear?
I think the succes of your strategy depends on how you use this mobile force, hence my question.
