Is a Destroyer allowed to ignore Subs?

Nah, not really. But doesn’t really matter. Looks like I understood something wrong. Thanks anyway.

Ok, But wasn’t there more? There was something with the US where shipping between Philippines and Hawaii was the only exception…

In NCM you can load a Trans and slowly ship the units around the world without ever having to unload them. But in CM you have to load and unload units in the same turn. Correct?

Can units that were hit by shore bombardment fire back?

And: I remember there was a rule concerning loaded transports… Something about that you can’t have them after combat move? I can’t remember correctly, can somebody help?
Thanks.

I’m a little confused…

Landing in DEI is a non combat move for UK and ANZAC right? They don’t need a Warship escort.

Do you always need an escort for an amphibious assault? Or only if there is an enemy Sub blocking?

Question concerning coastal bombardment: if I would attack with 4 loaded transports and 10 cruisers, how many dice would I get to roll? 4 because I have 4 Units amph. assaulting the TT, or 2 because 2 transports?
Thanks.

The built in AA of IC’s can fire once at each Bomber, right? No matter how many? They are not limited to the three shots max.

How do you guys defend the atlantic wall? Until now I used to have a large stack of Inf and art in France to push any invaders right back out of Normandy, but i wonder if someone has a better strategy…

Are the following moves allowed?
Japan has its fleet in 36, attacks the blocker in 37 with a few ships and then during NC moves the rest to 38 including loaded transports.

Can you NCM planes over a SZ in which you will build a Carrier, so that they will be on the Carrier at the End of your turn?

Is Japan allowed to sit there with loaded transports?

SZ 39 is bordering India.
So basically Japan could move its entire fleet right in front of india and then declare war and attack?

Hi all,
Quick question: Is Japan allowed to move their fleet during NC phase to SZ 39?
Thanks

I was thinking the goal is to get rid of Britain’s Destroyers to negate a counterattack on your subs…

Like: U103 and U117 to SZ 106, U108 and U118 to SZ 109 (+1 Holland Fig, 1 W.G. Fig and 2 Tacs W.G.) and U124 to SZ 111 (+1 W.G. Fig, 1 Tac W.G., 1 Tac Ger. and the Bomber)
Fleet + Norwegian fighter to SZ 112 ( Fighter then to S. Italy + the Slovenia Fighter)

The battle in SZ 111 might get a little risky.

That should give you at least 6 IPC in CRD for 2 Rounds. Maybe more.
Btw. 3 Subs in 109 do 8 damage to the Brits, right?

As for the Land Battles I’m not sure yet. But I think i wouldn’t attack Yugo since i want my men at the Front for a G2 attack on Russia.

For my G1 buy, i will probably stay with the carrier, since it makes the fleet somewhat viable, could be useful if you have an opportunity to get to the Med. The transports i might change to a mIC in Romania or land units.

Hey Jenn, may I ask what you attack G1 with your U-boats?

After a closer review I too think that the changes in Alpha+.3 may not be too bad.

I’d be content with everything if there would be a balancing benefit  for the Axis against the Mongol rule.

Since I understand Larry is content with making the Med a very important scene, I suggest that some kind of neutral rule for Spain should be developed. Say Spain joins the Axis when all Italian No’s are fulfilled…? IMO this would provoke some serious action of all involved powers. Britain is in a good position to put up a fight there and Germany would have an alternative goal for the first rounds instead of SL, which would benefit them greatly in the later game. (Access to Gibraltar)

For example: G1 sink the Brit fleet, G2 and G3 help Italy to gain their NO’s and prepare for Barbarossa, G4 go east.

Any opinions?

Is the Italian NO for Caucasus gone?

Thanks Gamerman01, thats what I thought too.
Whatever, guess we’ll have to test it.

I don’t necessarily need Krieg or Larry, if you can explain it to me…
I just don’t get the point.

Carrier Vessel?

But I agree with you those BB, CV, etc. confuse me too.

After a closer review of the possibilities I’m more eager to playtest Alpha+.3.
Nevertheless I don’t understand the Mongolia rule. As I understand it the Russians can attack Japan R4 any time and still Japan cannot attack Amur from Korea\Manchuria? But when Russia pulls back, Japan could land with a Transport there and NCM everything up? Or they could attack from Siberia without provoking the Mogols? And what about the Planes? Are only the ones in Man\Kor not allowed to attack?
I’d really wish for a clarification from Krieghund and\or Larry.

I also don’t understand why the Caucasus oil is now nothing worth for Italy, and I take the loss of the German Tac for a mistake.

IMO the Italian DD and TT in 96 is a free gift for the Brits since they can perfectly hide under their scramblers on Malta and now can even easily take out the Tobruk or Libya  forces.
The AA rule is interesting even thou I don’t like that Sealion is no longer an option. This changes the G1 purchases since the Brits no longer need to be really afraid of a G2\G3 landing.
