What does “when playing TR” mean in this forum?

Are there any restrictions to travel past Gibralter or Danish straights with subs or surface ships?Also,does sz12 (just west of gibralter)touch Gibralter?

This game has no mechs,pripet marshes or Italy player.I suspect you’re discussing the 42 version of Global.

Historically,the German invasion of Belgium brought the UK into the war as I recall.

did’nt see this anywhere so I’ll ask.Does sz6 connect to sz2?

If japan is not at war with UK the UK ships can be ignored I think.Alternatively ,If japan is not at war with USA,the UK ships can be attacked.The US planes can’t scramble(no amphibious attack in this case)

I 'd like to see them move 3 and be able to non-combat move after combat (like aircraft)

There’s so much Italy could do if only it did’nt have such a pitiful starting income.I think the mistake I make is that usually scramble against taranto and I buy inf/art to counter possible UK/US landings.

I love to get the allies into Greece,but its so far away from US.If Us takes Greece ,they’ll need to re-enforce with UK and or Russians.Last game I played I picked up French inf from Africa rather than send my tts back to EUS.In Greece you 'll likely cut-off axis from activating a pro-axis Turkey.(if you’ve attacked Spain).
  Another good aspect is that your fleet is convoying axis from sz97 while parked off balkans.

Unless you lose your capital before your 1st turn……FRANCE…(I’ve seen Rome lost rd 1,but that was just stupid)

You should check out Young Grasshoppers videos for global(you’ll see all the units on the Europe map at start-up)
  Sometimes I find units do sort of spill over into nearby zones.In our last game we had a lot of units parked in Romania.We parked aaa guns and air units in the black sea and just announced that they’re all in Romania.Point the noses of the planes at the territory you want them to be in so there’s less chance of confusion.

So  Italys 1st buy should be 1tank 1 mech and perhaps I need to commit Italys airforce to can opening?

I read alot about Italian “can openers” on the east front.Which units do you use?There are’nt many fast units available and where do they typically start can opening?If I’m Germany I don’t want to have to wait till rd 3 or 4 for enough Italian units to get up to the front line.

YES! Liberate Scotland from the English jackboot.Re-enforce with Italian fighters,build MIC and march down the M1 to London town.

Has there been an official ruling on this?Seems to me,conducting a naval blockade is a choice much like scrambling or intercepting.

In the games I play ,we only count original axis or pro axis neutrals that have an ipc value.So Ethiopia ,Iraq,Libya yes.Sardinia ,tobruk,It Somaliland etc no.

the only spread sheet I see was last updated aug 2012.Am I missing something? :

Where do you like to send the 2nd bmbr?
And keep in mind the sub that starts in sz117 can only reach 106 or 109

If you really want to keep your options open build a naval base in central america.A fleet parked in sz 64 can reach Gib,New Zealand,Alaska,Hawaii,Nova scotia.You don’t need to be at war to do this.

As USA,if I could use cruisers as troop transports in the pacific I might not ever buy tts.
