In theory Russia can build ships there… which is funny, if memory serves correctly, its the only naval territory that Russia has a bordering factory on at start and (by default rules) Russia can’t build any more factories, so they can only build a land-locked fleet and could never threaten Japan.  I know, its unlikely Russia would try and threaten Japan directly, but the setup is still funny.

@tsaa:

but japan only have 4 ipc and only an industry in japan, can they only build 4 armies per turn…?

Indeed, only four units per turn in Japan. If you want to buy and place more units you need to conquer another Industrial Complex.

Hi tsaa
You can play triplea solo or online

I installed the game on laptop with win10, the games starts incredible fast and the flags are moving so fast in the wind I can almost not see the animation… but after 10-15 minutes, the game slows down more and more so I cannot barely not scroll the map or see the animations of exloding units… what can be wrong?

is starts perfectly fine and then slows down so I have to restart every 15 minutes.
and I�m not sure of you guys, but for me it takes more than 15 min to beat the axis so I have to restart quite many times… Smiley

has this occured to anyone else and what can I do to solve this?
many thanks in advance

@tsaa:

1:can a battle ship bombard landtroops?

No, offshore bombardment is not part of the 1941 ruleset.

@tsaa:

2:can ships pass between ireland & nothern island? it seems to be a small passage there…

Yes, the seazones 6 and 8 are adjacent.

@tsaa:

3 how do you know where it is allowed to out ships you build? For Russia, can they only put their ships in the north? Germany- can they put new built ships in the meditaranian?

Ships can be placed only in seazones adjacent to territories containing an eligible Industrial Complex. At the beginning of the game Germany for example can place ships only in SZ 6. Russia has no adjacent seazone. SZ 18 next to Caucasus is pointless because you can’t move ships out there.

@tsaa:

4: in sea battle, is it correct the transports only can be destroyed when there is nothing else to “put behind the casualty zone” in other words transport will always be killed last?

Correct. Transports can be chosen as casualties only if there are no other eligible units.

@tsaa:

6: is a destroyer needed to attack a sub only when there is a plane attacking? or can any naval unit attack a sub without the presence of a destroyer?

Planes can hit submarines only when there is a destroyer belonging to the same nation as the plane joining the attack.
Naval units with an attack value don’t need a supporting destroyer.

@tsaa:

7: does subs attack with surprise attack in every round?? I thought it was only before the battle in other words only 1 time…

The surprise strike takes place in every round of combat.

@tsaa:

8: in south amierca, can all ships pass through the canal or only the side that controls the country (is it mexico?)

The side that controls Central America (from the beginning of the turn) may pass through the canal.

HTH :-)

@Krieghund:

There is no battleship bombardment in this game, so sea units can never attack land units.

Yeah, my mistake. I sometimes just jump in and start reading random forums. I forgot which one I was in.
