Tanks blitzing and returning in the same turn

Say Anglo-Egyptian Sudan is controlled by Italy but empty and the British have a tank in Egypt.

On the British turn, can the tank move into Anglo-Egyptian Sudan (blitzing) then return to Egypt on the same turn?

Egypt is a “friendly” territory.

Huh. I always thought the opposite. Thanks for letting me know.

@bfreestone2002
Repairs take place during “Phase 1: Purchase & Repair Units”. It does not affect movement of the repaired unit in later combat and noncombat move phases in any way.

@Luxor:

Can scrambled planes choose not to return to the territory they scrambled from? (Assuming there’s place for them on friendly carriers in the seazone they scrambled to)

No, as long as the territory they have scrambled from has not been taken by the enemy, the planes have to return there:

@rulebook:

After all combat is completed, each surviving scrambled air unit must return to the territory from which it was scrambled. If
the enemy has captured that territory, the unit can move 1 space to land in a friendly territory or on a friendly aircraft carrier.
If no such landing space is available, the unit is lost. Surviving scrambled air units land during that turn’s Noncombat Move
phase, before the attacker makes any movements.

I’d only just discovered these rules like a day before this thread popped up. My buddy and I started a game on AAA a while ago to prep for our FtF this weekend:

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=41587.0

This would seem to be a counterpoint to the UK/ANZAC 2 DoW. I was doing some goofy stuff in Europe but basically a G4 Sealion is coming. I’ve got a US Atlantic Navy ready for London Calling which would have moved to sz102 but now there’s an interesting conundrum.

If my buddy does a J3 DoW that lets my US forces retake Gibraltar and to stage my UK fighters and STB there. If he doesn’t J3 that’s another whole turn where he isn’t taking Money Islands or India (he’s been content to take SFE and China but I suspect an ANZAC crush coming on – he likes to do them).

So not doing the DoW I think I’m in a slightly better position (although still horrible position overall).

There’s two basic allied responses to holding France G1.
Run away and allow Italy to clean up. Bulk up France with UK so Italy can’t take it.
In case (2), I say surrender, even though it may cost the allies the entire RAF. In case (1), you may be able to keep playing. I’ve got a game going now where Paris did fail, I think I should have deferred the DOW on USSR until G4 and played Japan as normal. This does allow a few allied actions like USA reaching the med or Norway. However, it is better than letting the Soviets push back all over the shop and get communism objectives for Scandinavia etc. I suppose this is a bigger deal in balanced mod because as soon as you DOW, you release the increased NOs for USSR. Also, all the money from being at war allowed the Soviets to buy enough planes to stop me from being able to effectively strat bomb Moscow.

Right, during Noncombat Move the unescorted transport may offload into a friendly territory - ignoring an enemy submarine.

Thank you :-)

@JimmyHat:

best counter is an easy Sealion.

Agreed, if you built a Carrier with Germany on round 1, and the UK either buys units in S Africa or builds an IC somewhere, the Germans need to go all in on Sea Lion. As Germany, launch your attack on London on G3 and you should win with acceptable losses. Situations like these are what Sea Lion is all about :)

This is a good idea, especially if you want a speedy game, or cooperative efforts.

I will have to try this out :)

In terms of turn order, you just keep per the standard with your adjustment. IE Germany, Japan, Italy. Russia, Uk, Anzac, USA, China France this sets in stone attack orders ncm’s etc.

The other issue is that Japan in the global game has nothing to do until turn 3 either, so this could seriously backfire.

The Japanese player simply has to say “if you declare war on me it’s gonna cost you Siberia” and the Japanese make a serious push into Russia with all his planes and Russia is screwed. Buys the Pacific allies some time but may cost you Russia.
