1. The transport is lost, as subs remain with no opposition.

2. Assuming that United Kingdom and Scotland are still held by the UK, the transport should be moving in noncombat movement, so this question is moot. However, if this were an amphibious assault, the transport, being an attacker, would be able to retreat if it survived the first round of combat. Note that if all of the defending subs either submerge or are destroyed, there would be nothing to retreat from.

3. Nothing, as the battle is over (assuming the transport itself was not hit during the battle).

@ksmckay said in Ksmckay (Axis) vs Amon-Sul (Allies +17) BM3:

@Krieghund Can Russia move into UK pac territories if UK pac hasnt declared war on Japan? (Japan and Russia are at war).

Yes. The USSR’s state of war with Japan lifts the restrictions of neutral powers from it on the Pacific map. UK is at war with Germany and Italy in Europe, so it is not neutral either. Since neither the USSR nor UK is neutral, USSR may move units into UK territories and vice versa, but only on the Pacific map. Per it’s specific and unique rules, USSR remains neutral on the Europe map, so they may not do so there. No power other than the USSR has separate neutrality on the two maps, so this does not affect UK other than in its interactions with USSR.

@the_good_captain Yes. From page 16 of the Rulebook:

During this step, Axis land units move and patrolling Allied fighters react. Each fighter in a region rolls to strafe each Axis unit moving into or out of that zone, including reinforcements. The Axis player indicates all units that are moving, then the Allies fire one at a time against target units.

@shadowhawk said in Know The Rules: How Boats Can Move 4 Spaces:

@Krieghund

The rules for retreat do not require that the move is legal. Only that the SZ you retreat to is friendly and that at least 1 sea unit came from there.

By that logic, you can ignore the rules for canals and narrow straits when making a combat move or a noncombat move, or when moving using a naval base, as none of these rules mention them either. The fact is that the rules for canals and narrow straits apply to all movement of sea units, as they say they do.

Same as that units cannot move more then their max speed but when retreating you also violate this movement rule by retreating to the other side.

This is an entirely different case, as retreat movement is an explicitly-stated rules exception. You can actually violate the maximum movement of units by retreating in any direction. Infantry that move 1 space into combat and then retreat back where they came from have moved 2 spaces, even though they ended up back where they came from. The only difference is that since they return to where they came from, we don’t perceive that they have actually moved, so we accept it.

Thanks a lot Krieg.

So if the European axis are not at war with Russia, Russia cant enter Burma? (assuming UK Pacific and, Japan are not at, war, and, Russia and Japan are)

No, that’s incorrect. The only thing that keeps one power from entering another powers territory on the same side (other than restrictions specific to one or both of them) is neutrality (being at war with no one). The USSR is the only power that can be neutral on one map and not neutral on the other (all others are either neutral or not). The only condition that the USSR needs to meet in order to move into allied territories on the Pacific map is to be at war with Japan, and the only condition that the USSR needs to meet in order to move into allied territories on the Europe map is to be at war with Germany and/or Italy.

@The_Good_Captain They do not carry over, and are treated normally in the next turn.

@SeaYa Another key sentence is in the first paragraph quoted above:

Chinese territories on the game board have a Nationalist Chinese emblem on them.

Kwangtung does not have one, therefore it is not a Chinese territory. An industrial complex there would not be removed if China gains control, and China cannot mobilize new units there.

It’s hard to piece together exactly what the question is here from the conversation, but I think the question is whether or not a transport can load in a sea zone containing an enemy sub and then move to another sea zone to make an amphibious assault if other units are attacking the sub. The answer to that question is “yes”. Attacking the sub does not make the sea zone hostile, so it does not impede the movement of the transport.

@The_Good_Captain The Axis units defend (see page 10 of the Rulebook), and combat occurs in all zones where combat situations exist (see page 17 of the Rulebook).

@SeaYa said in Need help determining the fate of manufacturing in Kwangtung:

That’s an interesting point! The rules often refer to “originally controlled” territories, to which the national emblem markers are referenced, regardless of current occupation. I wondered if the phrase “Chinese territory”, without the explicit “original” verbiage allowed for a Chinese occupied territory to be considered Chinese.

The sentence I quoted above seems pretty airtight, especially in the context of the rest of the section.

I think it is a moot point in this case, as I believe the Chinese are restricted from building factories anyway, but an interesting point to consider: is a (insert power) territory only restricted to original territories when referenced in the rules, or, without the word “original” explicitly stated, does it also expand to include occupied albiet not original?

I don’t believe there are any other such instances in the rules. In any case, I would say not, as the rules often also refer to “X-controlled” territories.

@Arthur-Bomber-Harris said in L22 OOB FINAL LL Myygames (X) VS ABH (L+50):

@Krieghund so what is your recommendation of a fair way to proceed in this match?

Looks like you guys have sorted it out.

@The_Good_Captain @SuperbattleshipYamato Sorry, I missed the word “Fortune” in the original post. That makes quite a difference!

Combat occurs only in the zones selected by the Allies. The Axis can’t defend in a zone if there’s no attack there.

@SuperbattleshipYamato The Caspian Sea is a sea zone. See page 8 of the Rulebook. I’m not sure why it doesn’t have a number. Perhaps it’s because it’s not connected to the other sea zones.

This has nothing to do with the Caspian Sea Group.

@Arthur-Bomber-Harris A sub is a warship (though not a surface warship), so the presence of a sub allows enemy subs to be ignored for an amphibious assault.

@The_Good_Captain Also, from page 9:

Axis & Allies: D-Day is played in a series of turns. A turn consists of one pass through the sixteen order cards, and then a check for victory.

Since victory is checked at the end of each turn, the Allies must hold the required zones until the end of turn 10.

@FranceNeedsMorePower In Global 1942, all powers begin the game at war with all powers on the other side.

@gamerman01 is correct.

@The_Good_Captain Yes, it can move into a zone with Allied land units, just not through one.

You roll separately whenever units that can’t hit other units are involved. Rolling together and assigning the rolls to the units of your choice violates the principle that the owner of the hit units chooses casualties.

@barnee While the Soviet Union is not at war with Japan, it must abide by the restrictions of a neutral power on the Pacific map. This means, among other things, that it may not enter territories on that map that are controlled by another power. See pages 15, 36, and 37 of the Europe Rulebook.

@surfer Korea is not part of China. See page 10 of the Pacific Rulebook.
