So, when I was putting the rules back last night, I discovered another document: Rules Clarifications from General M. Bradley, Supreme GameMaster. It’s dated 1991; the game manual was dated 1986. Note that the rules are second edition and says that both transport and amphibious assault rules have changed (presumably since the first edition). So it’s possible that the OP was using First edition rules? To be honest I’ve never seen those, although now I’m curious…

So in the rules clarifications, there’s no specific clarity on whether a transport can load in a hostile or enemy-occupied sea zone. But it does say that bridging is as the OP said: you can bridge with a transport after it moves. So I was wrong on that front.

But, it does say again that for an amphibious assault the zone must be cleared before a transport can unload units. It doesn’t say or load and then unload units.

There does seem to be some evolution of thought from the 2nd edition rules to the rules clarification. In the 2nd edition rules, there is an example of units moving from Japan to Manchuria and the transport could do so “without ever leaving the sea zone”, which suggests that it would have started the move there, because in the paragraph before, it states in bold caps that a transport’s move is over once it unloads. But then in the clarification, it says that the transport can move before bridging.

Also, in the 2nd edition rules, under the section “how they fight”, for amphibious assaults, it says:

“If you are launching such an attack and the sea zone adjacent to the target area is enemy-occupied, then your naval force including your cargo-laden transports must engage in in combat before the amphibious assault can occur”.

To me this suggests that the transports had to have been loaded prior to the battle, not after, and such a move has to be done in a friendly sea zone, not an enemy-occupied one.

Anyways, hope I’m not putting anyone to sleep - I just find this issue really interesting!

This is a really interesting discussion! I dug out my old A&A Classic Second Edition rule book and I’ve been looking through it. Like the OP, I’ve been playing A&A since the original game. I started a long explanation with citations, but I’m not sure anyone wants to read it. So the Cole’s notes version is this:

• in original A&A, a unit could never begin its turn in an enemy-occupied or enemy-controlled (hostile) territory or sea zone.

• the combat part of the action sequence is “Combat Movement”, and the section of the rules is littered with detail about how to move your units into combat. It’s a fundamental concept, particularly in a new game being introduced to the public: first you move your units to create the combat, and then later you would actually resolve (roll) the combat.

• for transports, the explanation starts out by saying how transports move. they can move 1 or 2 spaces, pick up, drop, and the rules show many examples.

• after this, it describes “bridging”. To me, this section is redundant unless it’s emphasizing that combat loading and unloading doesn’t require the transport to move at all. Otherwise, it’s covered under the preceding paragraph where it says that cargo can be picked up before, during, or after the transport moves. The explanation offered (bridging can be after a transport moves) is already covered - cargo can be picked up after a transport moves.

• So what happens when a transport moves into an enemy-occupied sea zone? It must conduct combat. It says this clearly in the rules, even though it doesn’t have an attack value. If it survives and has cargo, it can unload. And under battleships it once again says that in an amphibious assault, for an adjacent enemy-occupied sea zone, combat must ensue and the enemy units must be defeated before transports can unload units. It doesn’t say that transports can then unload or load and unload.

• It says the same thing in the transports section on how they fight. The rules say, for amphibious assaults, that cargo-laden transports must engage in combat before the amphibious assault can occur if the adjacent sea zone is enemy-occupied. After combat, it says that the transport can unload assaulting land units if the sea zone is cleared. Notably, it doesn’t also say it can load and unload. And if the sea zone isn’t cleared, you must retreat.

So to me, it’s clear that bridging was intended to just cover the fact that a transport is the only unit in the game that can be involved in the combat movement phase without actually moving (again, other than anti-aircraft guns). And it’s also clear that you could only load in a friendly sea zone, since the very moment you enter an enemy-controlled sea zone, you have to conduct combat, and then the only options for the transport are either a) retreat, or b) unload.

Regarding the evolution of the game, there have been other changes to movement related to hostile sea zones: subs can move through hostile sea zones, or even end their turn in hostile sea zones. And you can build in a sea zone containing enemy naval units and make it a hostile sea zone. Interestingly, I couldn’t find the notion of a “hostile sea zone” in the A&A Classic Second Edition rules because, to me, the concept didn’t exist. A territory or sea-zone was either friendly-occupied, friendly-controlled, enemy-occupied, or enemy-controlled. I think the notion of a hostile sea zone emerged because sea zones aren’t really ‘controlled’ if they’re empty, and, as said earlier, in the original game there was no allowance for units of opposing sides to end a turn in the same sea zone or territory. Once this could happen, we needed a way to characterize these sea zones, and calling them hostile made the most sense.

And as it was already pointed out, the Global 1940 exception for allowing transports to load on the turn that war is declared is evidence that, in any other case, this move is not allowed.

To end, I’ll add that i also think it’s odd that a single dd can disrupt an amphibious assault. Odd, but not unfair, illogical, or contrary to the original spirit of the game. So to me, the original rules and those that follow are pretty consistent about bridging, and when and how transports load units for amphibious assaults.

@trulpen Thanks for the reply. So am I correct in saying that I should still (as the losing player) post the result of a single game in the League Results forum?

Just want to clarify when a result from a league game should be posted. I saw that games should be played as best of 3s or 5s, etc. does that mean I should only post results of the series? Cause I see many people posting single game results. Is it that all results are posted, but the games only count for points in the league if they’re part of a series with the same player? Thanks!

@Odonis yep, full scramble and I’ll take OOL based on strongest defense.

@cyanight I definitely didn’t expect that attack! I made a lot of mistakes too. But it was still loads of fun!

@cyanight that’s the last time I devise a move while driving lol. I think in my head I had calculated putting more fighters in TJ, rather than with the navy, as a way to protect that stack. Oh well, that’s A&A!

@cyanight I surrender. You have the 8 European VCs and I can’t get any of them back. Well played!

@cyanight nope

and I think I opened that by accident in play by forum so if you got some dice rolls, just ignore them :)

@freh @cyanight oops posted twice by mistake.

OOL in TJ: Bombers, just go in order of defense, USA stuff then UK,
inf, mech, art, tanks, tac, french ftrs before US and UK

If I missed anything just use your judgment lol.
