According to the Europe1940.2 rulebook (page 11)
“Strict neutrals are treated in exactly the same way as unfriendly neutrals, …”

And in that section we have: “Air units can’t fly over an unfriendly neutral
unless they are attacking it.”

All combat movement is considered to take place at the same time.
So “a particular plane” cannot fly over Turkey to attack Iraq.
The above (second) quote does not refer to an attacking power but to the air unit itself.

So in your case every air unit needs to attack Turkey to be allowed to fly over Turkey.

@Private-Panic As I already mentioned in your game thread the problem is caused by the space in your username. Please see the follow-up postings in https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/32464/triplea-new-stable-release-working-with-the-forum, especially
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/1237061

Please ask in case you need further assistance. :smile:

@barnee You are correct, of course. Page 31 of the rulebook:
“A transport can load and offload units without moving from the friendly sea zone it is in (this is known as “bridging”). Each
such transport is still limited to its cargo capacity. It can offload in only one territory, and once it offloads, it cannot move,
load, or offload again that turn.”

@pacifiersboard
@AndrewAAGamer

Just for completeness:

Current prints of the rulebooks have slightly changed the wording to:

“In the event that you inadvertently purchased more units than
you can actually mobilize due to production limitations, you
must return the over-purchased units to the box (your choice
on which units), and the cost of the units is reimbursed to you.”

The only difference is the introduction of the word “inadvertently”.
This implies that you are not allowed to intentionally ‘overbuy’.

@Moller A submarine is a sea unit with an attack value and a defense value. What makes it special are its “Special Abilities”/unit characteristics as described by the rulebook(s) and (partly) outlined by @WindowWasher above.
Those are:

• Surprise Strike (X)
• Submersible (X)
• On Station
• Treat Hostile Sea Zones as Friendly (X)
• Doesn’t Block Enemy Movement
• Can’t Hit Air Units
• Can’t Be Hit by Air Units (X)

An enemy destroyer cancels those unit characteristics marked with an (X).

@Moller said in Battleship/cruiser with destroyer vs submarine:

I tought without a destroyer you can’t detect a submarine so you can’t attacked the submarine.

This is not part of the rules, sorry.

@CrazyIvan I have moved your issue to the TripleA support forum.

What system do you have TripleA running on? How much RAM does it have? Which Java version do you have installed? Are you using TripleA 1.9.0.0.13066?

@Adam514 said in League General Discussion Thread:

If a nation that lost its cap plunders a cap, can they use the plundered money?

No, as the player skips all but the Combat Move, Conduct Combat, and Noncombat Move phases until the capital is liberated.

Do they keep the money or is it destroyed?

You collect these IPCs even if your own capital is in enemy hands.

@barnee No, submarines do not have to submerge. It is one of the glitches of TripleA just in order to keep them out of the battle.
We have a Github issue addressing this:
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/6101

As air units (without friendly destroyer) cannnot hit subs and subs cannot hit air units there is no need to submerge.

In your case the CA is the only unit that can be hit by the enemy air units. So your subs may only watch the scenery.

@CrazyIvan Great. Now enjoy gaming. In case you experience any issues or need help, just ask. :slightly_smiling_face:

@ All

Please use the TripleA support category

I just wanted to inform the league players about the new version and did not intend to distract from league topics.

Thank you.

@fasthard

Yes, see page 11 of the 1940.2 Europe Rulebook:

“If the attack upon the formerly neutral territory is
unsuccessful (the territory is not captured), any remaining
defending units stay in the territory but can’t move. The
territory remains uncontrolled (place a national control
marker on it face down to indicate its new status) but is
considered friendly to powers on the side it’s now allied
with. Units belonging to those powers can move into it and
take control of it and its remaining units in the same way as
if it were a friendly neutral.”

So with the German attack on Yugoslavia, the territory Yugoslavia immediately became friendly to the Allies. Yugoslavia is part of the Alliance.
So UK can land there.

Note that Yugoslavia, after the attack, is no longer considered (pro) neutral, but Allied, just not controlled by any power.

See https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/20494, too.

I have added a paragraph to the initital posting to inform about the current situation.

@Stucifer said in League General Discussion Thread:

With Edit mode enabled for smoother resolution of naval battles with subs involved, it would not prompt for Retreat and just goes immediately to the next round of rolling dice.

This appears to be the culprit here: Edit Mode has never been supposed to be active during gameplay. In the past there have always been warnings about using Edit Mode even during phases. Edit Mode should be activated (and after action deactivated) at the very beginning or at the very end of a phase.
And likely never during conduct combat phase.

FWIW I cannot reproduce the issue either.

@G40NEWB said in Tank blitzing through newly conquered territory:

Is Germany able to blitz tanks through a territory it just conquered that turn? For example, using a few tanks to attack blocker infantry in Eastern Poland then attacking Western Ukraine through that newly captured territory? Please give me an example from the rule book that makes this move illegal or legal, can’t seem to find anything that specifically deals with this situation.

All combat moves occur during Combat Move Phase. Additional combat moves - once the Conduct Combat Phase has started - are not allowed.

Also the term of “blitzing” is used only for one single situation that occurs during Combat Move Phase:
“A tank can “blitz” by moving through an unoccupied hostile territory as the first part of a move that can end in a friendly or hostile territory…”.
(Rulebook Europe 1940SE, page 15.)

So your case/question is not a case of “blitzing”.

Welcome to the forum.

@dawgoneit said in 2.6 is not letting me access my games:

@Panther ok. I’ll try to explain the best I can. I can’t screen shot any thing it says because of the way it pops up and disapiers rite away.

When i push on the game thread this little box pops up and disapiers very fast so i can’t see what it says. its something about the maps. iv’e tried a bunch of times to try to see what it says.
then when the black page shows up it looks normal. the area just above where you can choose your map is where it shows who just did they’re turn and how many times its been downloaded. all that only stays up for about 5 seconds and that to disapears and the emails also. i type in our emails and the game ID and it always takes me back to the start of the game. not to where the game is at.
I dont no if it has anything to do with it but i have to go back and forth between 2.5 and 2.6 to play all my games.
but i haven’t played a single turn with the 2.614615 because of this.

While waiting for someone to assist you on your PC let uns try something else.
From your words I understand that you use a quite uncommon (at least to me) way to launch TripleA.

Did I understand correctly that you

• klick on the savegame right in the topic of your game thread?
• this initiates the start of TripleA and the (somehow failing) load of your game (or not)?

In case this is correct - that can’t work when you have more than one TripleA installations.

So please try as follows:

Please download the savegame file from the game thread, that means rightclick on the file and save it on your hard drive at a place where you will find it (maybe directly to your desktop or a special download folder in case you have one).

Then first move to the TripleA 2.5 installation folder. Inside this folder find the TripleA.exe and doubleclick on it. In case an error message opens, ignore it and close it. Now on the left side of the panel find “Open Saved Game”. Load the game you saved before and open it. What happens?

After that move to the TripleA 2.6 installation folder. Inside this folder find the TripleA.exe and doubleclick on it. In case an error message opens, ignore it and close it. Now on the left side of the panel find “Open Saved Game”. Load the game you saved before and open it. What happens?

Please tell us what happens in both cases.

Good luck.

@barnee said in How does chat work?:

I hit space for a paragraph break and the msg has already paper airplaned out. : )

For a paragraph break hit “Shift + Enter”.
This will start a new line/paragraph instead of immediately send out the text when only hitting “Enter”.

@largowin Yes, that is the latest official FAQ. You still can download it from WotC/Avalon Hills, despite the game is now sold by Renegade.

@VictoryFirst said in JPN DOW:

@barnee

No, if Japan declares war on UK and ANZAC, it drags the US into the war also, making the US ships enemies.

Sorry, this is not correct. It just allows USA to declare war on any/all Axis power(s).
Rulebook Pac. 1940.2, page 37:

“Japan may declare war on the United Kingdom, ANZAC, the United States, France, or the Soviet Union at the beginning of the Combat Move phase of any of its turns. A declaration of war by Japan against either the United Kingdom or ANZAC will immediately result in a state of war between Japan and both of those powers.”

“The United States may not declare war on any Axis power unless an Axis power either declares war on it first or captures London or any territory in North America, or Japan makes an unprovoked declaration of war against the UK or ANZAC, after which it may declare war on any or all Axis powers on its following turn.”
