The game rules regarding submarines not making a sea zone hostile do not seem to reflect the realities of what submarines did in WW II. The Allies developed anti-submarine forces and the convoy system to fight the German submarine threat in the Atlantic theater and were, after a time, able to virtually eliminate the submarine threat from this “hostile sea zone”. On the other hand, the Japanese never bothered with anti-submarine forces or the convoy system and, by the end of the war, Allied submarines had essentially run out of targets to sink.
Transports
-
It has always been that way. Also, if my memory serves me correct, AA guns can only be moved during non combat.
-
Once a transport offloads, it’s done for the turn. It can’t do anything else. It may only offload into one territory.
As I read the rules, AA-guns can only move during non-combat, so in this case the tranny offloads one infantry during amphibious assault, and then have to wait until next turn to offload the AA-gun, right ?
-
No, because the amphibious is a combat and AA gun cannot move during combat movement, non combat only. Krieg, can you clarify that for us.
-
The AA Gun can move with a transport during a combat move, if it was loaded on a previous turn. (page 25)
-
Yes, absolutely, if it was loaded on the previous turn.
-
Yes, but it still can only unload during noncombat movement.
-
Could it unload during the noncombat move of the same turn?
-
Could it unload during the noncombat move of the same turn?
Once a transport offloads, it’s done for the turn. It can’t do anything else. …
If it moved in the combat move phase, it can’t move in the non-combat phase.
-
Even if the player wants to offload during noncombat into the same space?
-
Once a transport offloads, it’s done for the turn. It can’t do anything else.
-
Once a transport offloads, it’s done for the turn. It can’t do anything else.
So if the tranny offloads an infantry in combat, then it is done for the turn, and the AA-gun is stuck on the tranny until next turn, right ?
-
Yes.
-
What? That’s dumb.
-
no way
