Thanks for answering my questions! I’ve got a few more.

1. Japan Turn 1 - from my understanding, its only on this turn that they get their ‘special’ attack bonus. Any territory that Japan Attacks on Turn 1 only defends on a ‘1’ even if they normally defend on a ‘2’ or ‘3’ or ‘4’. If this is correct, does this also apply to Japan attacking China on Turn 1?

2. Scrambling - planes can only scramble from an airfield, correct? Can they scramble into a neighboring land province that is under attack (and then act as defenders through the course of the combat) or can they only scramble into a neighboring sea province? I am looking at some of the German starting areas that are land-based with airfields.

3. An Aircraft Carrier that takes a hit during combat can not land its planes correct? Do the planes get to use their movement values to find a safe landing area?

EDIT: 4. USA - USA can DOW on any of the Axis on its money-collection phase of USA Turn 3, correct? If Japan attacks USA on Turn 1, but not ANZAC/UK, then the US still has to wait to DOW Germany/Italy until that same point in Turn 3? But if ANZAC/UK gets warred on my Japan prior to Turn 3, the USA can DOW the rest of the Axis?

Also - does attacking FIC also allow USA to DOW the rest of the Axis if it is prior to their Turn 3?

Brand new player here - first played this past weekend - yet somehow found myself in the role of GM between my friends who were playing (also their first time). I (we) have a few questions that could not be found in the rulebooks or we are confused on. I apologize in advance if these are either stupid questions or answered in the rulebook etc.

1. If an attacking unit engages in combat, does it get to move at all during the non-combat-movement phase? Specifically, if an attacking Battleship or Carrier takes a hit of damage and needs to repair, can it move to a friendly base (within 2 movement spaces of it) during the non-combat-movement phase, or does it have to wait for that countries next turn?

2. Does repairing a unit in a naval yard expend all its movement points for that turn?

3. Aircraft flying between islands - if a small island (think in the pacific) is entirely surrounded by a single sea zone, does it coast 1-movement for that aircraft to leave the island and enter the sea zone?

4. All attacks per-country must be announced at the same time during the beginning of the combat phase?

5. In a land battle involving aircraft, does a defending AAA-Gun get one shot to shoot at the attacking aircraft?

6. Submarines - these I am confused on. If an attacking submarine attacks a fleet with no destroyers, it gets a surprise attack. Anything it hits during that surprise attack is immediately sunk and removed from combat. The remaining ships then get to fire back at the submarine, correct?

What happens if a Destroyer is present, negating the surprise attack, but it gets sunk. Does the submarine gain the surprise attack at the beginning of the next round of attacks since the destroyer is removed from gameplay?

If aircraft are attacking submarines with a destroyer present (to allow them to attack the submarines) do they lose their ability to hit the submarine if the Destroyer is sunk?

7. Can Fighters all by themselves attack land-units in a province, simply to eliminate the troops there? Do they need Tactical/Strategic Bombers with them in order to do so? I am assuming that since Aircraft can attack Naval Units by themselves they can do the same on land.

8. If Japan attacks the Dutch Islands, does that automatically put them at war with the UK and ANZAC?

9. Can UK-purchased units deployed to India be transferred - either by walking or using transports - to the European part of the map?

Sorry for the plethora of questions! I am sure I can come up with more!
