@insanehoshi InsaneHoshi is the best! He’s much better at explaining than I am! :smile:

@plasticknight It may make more sense to you if you rethink one part. The UK navy CAN attack the subs. The difference is the subs MAY submerge before the UK navy gets to fire. So, they aren’t moving into an empty zone, or doing a non-combat move. They are attacking…just likely to fail in their attack, as the subs are likely to submerge. But it’s still an attack. The subs might fight! Take on the whole navy! They have target select. Maybe they risk it all for a shot at a loaded transport, damaged battleship, etc.
There is also a note in the combat movement section that says, “Note that combat may not always occur as sometimes one or both players will be given the choice to engage in combat or not.” You may combat move anywhere combat MAY occur…no matter how unlikely.
PS. Shameless plug, but this confusion would all be eliminated if there was only one movement phase, rather than both a combat and non-combat movement phase.

Does the CCP declaring war on Japan first, mean Japan can attack China without triggering any peacetime income?
-
If Partisans form into a Militia and either attack or capture a land zone while its controlling power is neutral. Is that a declaration of war by that controlling power?
-
Can Commanders board a ship or submarine during the combat movement phase and participate in naval combat on the same turn?
-
Are CCP Partisans generated outside Chinese Home Country (i.e. Korea, French Annam-Tonkin, and Cochin China), allowed to move?

If you review the China CCP National Reference Sheet, you will see that in order for the CCP to declare war, they must have evolved to a Major Power. Are you referring to a situation where the CCP has evolved to a Major Power, or does that answer your question?

@hbg-gw-enthusiast Close. I’m referring more to “or if that nation has units in Chinese Home Country”, part of the CCP reference sheet. Japan has units in Chinese Home Country at the start of the game (i.e. Manchuria). Which means the CCP can declare war at any time.

@mike141500 I’m braindead! 8 ) Ok, now what specific peacetime income are you talking about? Are you wondering if CCP DoW’s Japan, does Japan attacking into land zones on a turn lower their oil trade income? It does. Are you wondering if France’s peacetime income increases +1 for this, it does not because the +1 is triggered here for Japan DoWing China, not the reverse.

@hbg-gw-enthusiast im sure he is mostly referencing the $5 US income increase. to which i believe has been discussed that Japan will cause that increase only if they declare on KMT since they will already be at war with the CCP.

@hbg-gw-enthusiast this… the discord actually has the lead developer quite involved : his name is Morten and he is very helpful with rules clarifications and FAQ updates.
