Errata and FAQ

Ok
US turn 2
Japan isn’t at war with anyone, except China.
Japan has a transport in SZ 6, with no warships
The US moves their sub into this sea zone

Japan turn 3, they declare war
Does the US sub get to shoot immediately?
Does it get to shoot, if Japan attempts to move the transport?
Can Japan move a surface warship into the sea zone, stop the attack, then load and move the transport?

you can do like the rest of us and pay $90 for the alpha copy they shipped with the game :)

Well we definitely agree that neutrals should reply as a state or “entity” etc.  rather than disjointed tribes.

(Wow I just spent way too long with 50x errors!!)
Anyway, I was thinking some UK player might to trigger a Japanese DOW.

…and just trying to proof the FAQ. Bad habit’s die hard.

You can’t trigger war or make someone else trigger war. War is declared at the start of your movement phase.

If the UK and Japan aren’t at war, the UK is free to move unescorted transports through sea zones containing Japanese subs.

Granted.
I was just trying to point things out tactfully.

I use the US fleet to build up in Hawaii (and position two DD’s in front of HAW seazone to prevent an all out attack) or Alaska.  Then Japan needs the larger part of its fleet to defend Carolines and other islands. By this time ANZAC has build enough subs to disrupt all southern islands.

Im a little disapointed I bought a game that needs “corrections”
Ill kick, ill beg, and ill get 50 points of negitive karma to voice my opinion that these corrections come down from the heavens differently

However. When they do, I will abide by them. Because thats why there are rules.

pg 16

Combat  step 2 : attacking subs fire and hit units are placed behind casualty strip ?  I assume this is an error as in the next paragraph the defending subs casualties are removed from play before proceeding to step 3

No, this is not an error.  The units are placed behind the casualty strip because defending subs that are chosen as casualties will return fire.  You will notice that the last thing that happens in step 2 is that these casualties are removed.

That line was the source of my confusion.  So subs chosen as casualties return fire; other unit casualties are removed prior to this.
