Ah okay, thanks very much again for the answers.

I didn’t even know there was a Star Trek Catan! Can you tell us any more about it mate?

I can’t see anywhere on the product details where it mentions a german Campaign. Soviet Campaign, yes. So I’m gutted about that!!  :-(

Hi Wittmann,
Thanks for that mate, I know what you mean now. I have still to get this 2nd Edition version, but hopefully won’t leave it too long…

Excellent, thank you Krieg!  :-)

A couple of queries with the FAQ if I may…

Can you plesae elucidate on the sentence: However, the sea zone can’t be cleared of defending combat units, so the amphibious assault can’t proceed. on the 2nd question in the Kamikaze Strikes and Scrambling section? I’m not sure I understood the logic here as the question made no mention of defending Japanese warships… so I don’t understand why the amphibious assault cannot go ahead…

Regarding the United Kingdom player getting the War Bonds tech in the Global game: surely only the United Kingdom gets the bonus IPCs? I didn’t think powers could share tech? Please clarify on this…

Thank you very much.

Yes! Thank you Krieg.  :-)

Moderators, can this topic please be moved to a more relevant section of the forum? Thanks.

Did anyone bid on this yet?

What cool new toys? I don’t have it yet…

Okay thanks, and so I take it then that the funny looking sprites go with that skin? I would like to use the skin but not the sprites, if that’s possible?

I love the rotated map! Can’t wait to buy!  :-)

Guys, are the sprites shown in the screenshot that Veqryn posted optional or have they now replaced the normal/exisiting ones? Thank you.

I own ‘War! Age Of Imperialism’ by Eagle Games, and it is excellent.  :-)

Wow, thanks Veqryn. I will be updating my TripleA soon. I love the new map skin but I’m not too keen on those sprites - are they from Battlemap? I prefer the normal TripleA ones.

I fear that if Jeremy had any good news for us then we would have had it by now. He was normally very excited about sharing the latest (in spite of being burned) and I just think that anything to do with Germany combat units being near completion/shipping we would have heard by now. Sorry but I fear the worst.

It most certainly does, my friend.  :-)

Each to their own opinion.

Thanks, Veqryn.

That’s fantastic, kcdzim - thank you again. And you are indeed, most certainly, the man.  :-)

Okay guys, a few more Pacific 1940 S.E. questions please:

1 - Pages 8 & 9 of the rulebook seem to have conflicting or even contradictory rules regarding when Japan may attack Dutch territories. Under ‘The Political Situation’ guidelines for Japan on page 8 it says: “Japan may attack Dutch territories only if a state of war exists between it and the UK and ANZAC.” However, on page 9 under the guidelines for the UK and ANZAC it says: “Additionally, the UK & ANZAC consider attacks against any Dutch territories to be acts of war against them directly.” Well, which is it to be? Some clarification is much needed here.

2a - On page 2 of the rulebook it states: “On Turn 3… the United States will declare war on Japan.” The operative words here being will declare war. However, on page 9 it states: “… if the US is still not at war with Japan by the Collect Income phase of its third turn, it may declare war on Japan at the beginning of that phase.” The operative words here being may declare war. So, which is it? Is the US declaration of war on Japan automatic & compulsory, or is the US player truly free to not declare war? And if the latter is true, then what happens to the US economy from the Collect Income phase of its third turn onwards? i.e. Does the US still stay at 17 IPCs until it declares war (on a subsequent Combat Move phase)?

2b - Also, if Japan obeys all of the rules regarding its restrictions/obligations toward the Allies & the US during peacetime, and then the US elects to declare war against Japan on its 3rd turn, would that not be an unprovoked declaration of war? What would the implications of this be?

3 - ‘Declaring War’ on page 11 is a little unclear. If a power declares war on an opposing power, then is it true that that opposing power does not also have to declare war back on its next turn? This seems obvious but the wording in the rulebook is a little vague to me.

4 - Is it true that French Indo China will initially stay French unless it is captured and controlled by Japan? And then subsequently, let’s suppose it is liberated by the UK - Does the UK then take control (adjust IPC chart) of it instead? Also, is F.I.C. treated in the same way as Dutch territories in that the UK & ANZAC may move land units into it during their Noncombat Move phase, in order to take guardianship of it and thereby control it (again, adjust IPC chart)?

To confirm, these questions are purely for the Pacific 1940 S.E. game and have no bearing at all on Global.

Thank you all very much.
