New to game with question

Hi!
So the first question is - can you use destroyers as transports for lightning assaults? It seems like you should be able to, but it’s kind of unclear.

The second scenario: We have a transport attacking one territory and then lightning assaulting to a different territory and are wondering if - on the second attack - we can bring in planes that did not participate in the first battle. And also if a battleship waiting in the harbor of the second attack can bombard for that second assault.

Thanks!

Here’s another Triplea question… How do you find players and start a game in the Triplea “lobby”?  Thanks.

Short Version:

If all 4 units to be moved are still in EUS at the start of the US move, then the Algeria amphib can be done using only 1 TRN and the 2 units it can carry, the other INF and the AA would have to be moved in NCM (assuming the US won the amphib)

1.  No, this includes land, air, and sea units placed in any adjacent seazones.

2. No, territories can only be claimed by land units.

3. It has to be in an IC.

4. Only for anti-aircraft.  Submarines opening fire is for their attack value (2 or 3 with super subs technology), and the battleships bombardment hits on a 4.

5. Yes, the bomber can land in brazil, as it is friendly territory.  The 3 IPCs from Brazil are already included in the USA’s production, so theres no need to add them in.

Once again, only land units can capture territory.

@ncscswitch:

It would also skew the hell out of Europe.

Imagine Germany’s 6 FIGs and BOM backed up by a large stack of INF…  Throw in an ARM or seven…

Can you say “steamroll” anyone?

I prefer baked rolls.

How long ago was that IL?  I ordered mine about 5 months ago, and they DID send me 1 set of INF…  They initially back-ordered them, but about a week later the INF showed up, and the refund check for the single INF set not sent about 3 days later.

i think this rule is needlessly confusing because it’s not that beneficial or realistic for going through the added hassle of keeping enemy units on the board as prisoners. i also think this topic should be moved to house rules forum.
