If your sub fails, and the other sub survives you must retreat.
Even if the attacking sub doesn’t sink the enemy’s sub, the transports can still do debarkment.
It needs only that the other sub submerge.
Why is the Caspian Sea not labelled?
-
This always confused me, since it seems like it was always intended for it to be usable.
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato thats to defeat the Caspian Sea people who developed special AA rules. In one of their games playing MB, someone built a battleship for Russia and placed it there, hence the name Caspian Sea Group
-
I’m confused. I don’t understand. Can you please clarify? Thank you!
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato an entire group of players that sat around and made house rules, played MB AA and one game a guy bought a Russian Battleship and ever since the group was known as the Caspian Sea Players group. ok?
-
That…makes more sense.
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato The Caspian Sea is a sea zone. See page 8 of the Rulebook. I’m not sure why it doesn’t have a number. Perhaps it’s because it’s not connected to the other sea zones.
This has nothing to do with the Caspian Sea Group.
-
Yeah, I was confused about Imperious Leader’s comment. Thanks for clarifying!
-
@SuperbattleshipYamato I wasn’t commenting on the original topic , only an ancillary one- namely my only interaction with MB relating to Caspian Sea. Its not really a proper sea zone. This is why it doesn’t have a number, as nobody would deal with it in any game. IMO
-
@Imperious-Leader the rulebook is explicit that it is a real sea zone.
-
@zooooma it has a number?
-
In Global 1940 it’s used to fly 4-space aircraft directly from Persia to Moscow. So unlike other games (like 1914 where it, ironically does get a number), it’s actually serves an important purpose in Global 1940.

@Imperious-Leader said in Why is the Caspian Sea not labelled?:
@zooooma it has a number?
Irrelevant. There is no rule that all sea zones must have numbers. There is a rule that explicitly states this is a sea zone.
See page eight.If you want to play with a house rule that’s your business.
-
@zooooma there is no rule that they are sea zones without a number either, or a name. See page 23
I play OOB.

@Imperious-Leader
I see no mention on page 23 of sea zone numbers. Only this:“You can place sea units only in sea zones adjacent to territories containing eligible industrial complexes. New sea units can enter play even in a hostile sea zone. No combat occurs because the Conduct Combat phase is over.”
If you look at page 8, you WILL see this:
“Note: The Caspian Sea (surrounded by Caucasus, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Eastern Persia, Persia, and Northwest Persia) is considered to be a sea zone, even though it does not have a number.”
I suggest you recheck the rules. You might be looking at the wrong book.
