Can air units fly through the Dardanelles like they could in AA50?

[Krieghund]

Yes.

Question:
In Global 1940, if on turn 1 the UK or ANZAC move land units into DEI, does UK or ANZAC collect the income from those islands? Japan is at war with China only and the US and USSR are neutral.
I think it does, but I just want to confirm.

Thanks.

Yes, UK and ANZAC can take control of these, and will collect the IPCs.

If Germany goes Sealion and invades Britain on G3, does this make Russia automatically declare war?

If not, does Germany collect its 5 IPC “Wheat and Oil” NO at the end of its turn after a successful Sealion invasion?

Finally, if Russia enters China, does this provoke war with Japan?

Cheers.

Kreig-
I’ve been told that you previously ruled that infantry from England can move directly to Ireland without transport.  Is this true?

No.

@HerbNBrew:

Yes, if it’s still not at war with the USSR.

@HerbNBrew:

The Soviet Union may not move units into China unless it’s at war with Japan.

No.  They may move from Scotland to Eire without a transport.

Double checking if I recapture my capital on my turn, I collect income during the collect income phase, correct?

If you recapture the capital with that power (like Moscow with Russia, or Berlin with Germany).  Yes you collect income (and you have no choice) in the same turn you liberate because combat takes place before collect income phase.

This is precisely why there are times that one chooses not to liberate their capitol, even if they have the statistical probability of attempting to liberate their capitol successfully.  For, there may be opportunity, with high statistical odds, that your opponent could recapture the territory and gain more through the reconquering than lost in units and position on the board.

I noticed that Abattlemap is not calculating convoy damage against China (Kwa from SZ36), is China immune from convoy damage?

[jsp4563]

Under Alpha2 rules, If London is captured and UK captures additonal territories on the European map, does that Income go to Calcutta?  What about liberating territories on the European map by UK forces, who get’s that income?

No.

No one, until London is liberated.

Does a Sub in SZ125 negate the Russian NO or does it have to be a surface warship?

[gamerman01]

@Emperor:

Warship.  Not surface warship.  Subs stop the NO.
I know my answer’s not good enough for you, but Krieghund will confirm if you insist.

[jsp4563]

If air units scramble against an invading US fleet, and there are naval\air units from the UK present in that seazone, do the scrambling units have to engage both US\UK units?

[Krieghund]

The UK units are not involved in the attack, as it is not UK’s turn.

[keplar]

Can someone tell me what sea zones connect in the global game? I don’t have a rule book in front of me. thanks…

VOLUNTARY DESTRUCTION OF ASSETS…SCORCHED EARTH POLICY.

I would like a ruling on whether a player may opt to voluntarily destroy friendly airbases/ports/factories rather than allow them to fall into enemy hands. Seems perfectly legitimate to me if done in the owing players turn.  Retreating forces in WW2 rarely left anything intact for enemy to use and this is especially true of ports and airfields (which generally had to be rebuilt by the advancing forces) and in regard to factories, those that couldn’t be moved (underground by the Germans) or by the Russians were destroyed by friendly forces.  Official ruling please and thanks in advance.

[Krieghund]

No.
