Got it.  So how does it calculate convoy disruption?  I don’t see it drop the IPCs when I put enemy ships in the waer.

Gwlachmai,

Just finished report cards - I’m good for another go if you want to try w/o bid.

That was only 1 example were there was a substitution available.  I was thinking of other situation preventing hits on other areas.

Ruh roh…outfoxer or outfoxie?

Neither, as we just played past it.  But now we know for the future that block with another ally won’t work.

Thanks for the quick response, Krieg!  That was all I needed.

Cheers

I didn’t mean you were upset with krieg but you seemed to be upset with others because they told how they interpretted.

Understood

You’ve also gotta realize Krieg has stuff to do besides living in a forum so it might take awhile

At what point did I get upset that Krieg hasn’t answered a question I asked only a couple days ago?  I haven’t said a single thing negative about him, and only wait his answer.  I don’t care if it takes a while, because as you said, he has a life, as do I.

Accuse me of being a rules lawyer if you wish.  I play to win, and have fun while I’m at it.  But to win, the rules must absolutely be clear on what can and cannot be done.  This is no different in a tournament.  And the rules ruling needs to come from someone that is official and recorded as such.

Remember sub stalling from Europe and Pacific?  I do.  The designer of the games who even wrote the rules (Mike was it?) said no to sub stalling, but Avalon hiLL ignored it, and eventually acknoledged that it was indeed legal.

We need more rules lawyers to flush these things out.

That is the core of my question … when is war declared by US, or UK/AN (whichever is NOT attacked by Japan), now that Japan can select which ally to declare war on.  Is it instantly, or on thier turn.  And this has everything to do with blocking, but not just teh american DD.

The FAQ says Japan can declare war on any or all allies.  It is clear, and I quoted it.

Can we wait for Krieghund rather than think we know the answer?

Krieg, here is what the official FAQ from Larry’s site says:

At the beginning of the game, Japan is only at war with China. Japan considers movement of units into China by any other power as an act of war against it. Japan may declare war on any or all Allied powers at the beginning of the Combat Move phase of any of its turns. Japan may attack Dutch territories only if a state of war exists between it and the United Kingdom and ANZAC. Japan may attack French territories at any time, requiring no declaration of war against any Allied power before doing so.

If I don’t declare war on the US, only UK - as the wording allows me to - does US need to wait until their own turn to declare war on me?  Japan needs to wait until its turn to declare war, according to the above statement, so I assume this to be the same for the allies?

Doom makes his own rules!

Respectfully, that is not what the FAQ says.

Again, I’m waiting for Krieghund

That is what I’m asking, yes.

To give you the scenario, I want to declare war on UK and invade India amphibiously.  There is a US DD in Malaya - does he block me?

That is what I need Krieghund to clarify, as it seems fuzzy as to when the States declares war - especially how it is now written in the Harris website FAQ.

Cheers

That’s not the wording.

I mean no offense, Oztea, but I need Krieghund to clarify this.

Krieghund,

The official FAQ states that:

Japan may declare war on any or all allied powers…

Does this mean that if I declare war on UK only (I assume that ANZAC is instantly at war) that Japan ignores US units.  US is not at war until thier turn?

Cheers

Kamikaze attacks are during the Japanese combat turn, and only on surface combat ships, right?  These atacks can be in any Kamikaze zone?

Does this mean by the rules I can Kamikaze in the Philipines sea zone even if teh US controls the Philipines?  Can I do this at the start of the game?

Cheers

New question

Can the allies benefit from each others ports while neutral?

I’ll take that challenge.  Hawaii can be taken, and the US Fleet destroyed the turn after.  You will then be rushing to build to kick me out of Hawaii.

Tried it.  Only works if japan doesn’t chase your navy down.
