Can you refresh the link please? Much appreciated

@theveteran hopefully there’s a little more clarity in v4

@insanehoshi interesting. Thanks for the insight!

@insanehoshi I think I get it lol. Would the British fleet have to stop in the sea zone with the Italian ships when the declaration of war is made?

Another thought, if the British are making a combat move through the sea zone of the neutral Italians, but the Italians end up declaring war, wouldn’t the move of the British into that sea zone now be considered a combat move since the ships are entering a hostile sea zone?

@insanehoshi Ahh ok, that’s what I was looking for. So let’s say my original scenario is taking part in the combat phase rather than the non-combat phase. Does this rule apply as well or would combat actually occur?

@trig yah that makes sense. Thanks for the reply

Let’s say on Britain’s non-combat move they move ships through a sea zone with Italian ships already present. Italy decides to declare war at the moment. Does combat occur even though it’s a non-combat move? If so, is Italy the attacker or the defender? I wasn’t able to find anything in the rules regarding this.

Thanks!

@chris_henry for sure! One of the many reasons I enjoy this game so much

@didier_de_dax thanks, he sees the light finally.

Using Kiev as an example- can the Germans, in the same move, strat bomb the airbase, blitz and surround the city with a small portion of their force, then attack the city itself with remaining forces giving the city defenders the -1 penalty? I would imagine so since the attacker gets to choose the order of his battles. My opponent disagrees. Thoughts?

@noneshallpass thank you!

Can a tank combat move into an adjacent empty enemy territory and then use its blitz capability to then proceed into a friendly territory? I would assume no since that would be combining combat and non-combat movements, what would you guys say?

@insanehoshi cool, thank you. Wasn’t sure if there were similar parameters to maritime air patrol where you have to come off patrol then next turn can attack or whatnot.

Howdy,

Can a ship that’s on escort duty to start a turn come off escort duty and then either:

1. engage in combat in another seazone that same turn?

2. Move to another seazone and start a new escort duty that same turn?

Thank you!

@generalhandgrenade good call, I’ll try that. Thanks for the input

@mark-the-shark that’s good advice. I envisioned modifying the game similar to axis and allies Europe 1940 since that’s what he’s most familiar with. I’ve found it difficult to balance income increase and such. Maybe just going for it is the way to go.

Hi all. Has anyone tried playing only one theater of the game similar to AAA pacific/Europe 1940? I’m trying to teach my dad the ropes and the full global experience is a bit daunting to him. Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated.

@sjelso that was kind of my thought. Useful for gaps in the convoy lines and cornering subs.

Do you guys find seaplanes useful or worth the 7ipp price tag?

@wartorn are these flight stands still available for purchase?
