Just to be 100% sure, this question probably been asked a few times already but…
U.S.A. enter war at the collect income phase of the 3rd turn? That mean that all restriction apply for all the previous phase of the 3rd turn?
And also. When a territory that belong to a country that has it’s capital under control of the enemy is captured by one of his ally. (Exemple : Uk captured Normandy from the Germans while Paris is controlled by them, they put a UK Marker on the zone? And what happen when France is rescued, they get all their original country back?
Edit : Also, one thing happened in our game tonight. UK Fleet in the Mediterean Sea attacked 50% of the Italian Fleet and destroyed it. On Italia Turn, the other 50% of the fleet attacked, UK Player choosed to take one hit on his carrier as a casualty. Italia retreated after that, and Germans aircraft attacked the UK Fleet on their next turn. Just to be sure, the aircraft on a damaged carrier can’t defend right?. So it was an easy victory for the Germans. Was this played correctly?

Yes.

(Exemple : Uk captured Normandy from the Germans while Paris is controlled by them, they put a UK Marker on the zone? And what happen when France is rescued, they get all their original country back?
Yes, UK takes control of the territory, and France gets it back immediately when Paris is liberated.
UK Fleet in the Mediterean Sea attacked 50% of the Italian Fleet and destroyed it. On Italia Turn, the other 50% of the fleet attacked, UK Player choosed to take one hit on his carrier as a casualty.

Almost. Since UK took a hit on its carrier when Italy attacked, the planes would be unable to land after the battle. They would have one space to move after the Italians retreated to find a place to land. If a place could not be found, the planes would be lost. So, when Germany attacked, there would be no planes on the carrier.
Since planes are almost always in the air, it’s very unusual for one to be trapped on a damaged carrier. The only way it can happen is if the carrier is damaged while attacking with a friendly plane on board (a US fighter on a UK carrier, for example). In such a case, the plane is considered cargo and does not leave the carrier.

We had a battle the other day where a plane used all it moves to make it to the sz but a carrier from another sz was also participating in the battle so it was demonstrated that the plane had a place to land. The question was can you lose the carrier in the battle before the plane? My opponent called that a suicide attack, but to me I had demonstrated a place for the plane to land no matter how unlikely. Does this demonstration of landing occur once or after every round of rolling dice? Thanks!

It occurs only during movement. The rule that you can’t send a plane to its death only applies to movement. You are free to lose carriers first, and if you win with planes left over with no place to land, then they splash.
What you can’t do, is move a plane into a battle that can’t possibly land anywhere afterwards.
Even if it involves sending 1 sub to its death against a huge Armada, since there’s a chance the sub could win, allowing a carrier to go through that zone held by the Armada to go pick up the plane, sending the 1 sub in makes it legal.

My gaming group and I thanks you very much gamerman! Thanks also for the detailed explanation, I had never thought of a scenario you posed with the sub. Its gonna be real interesting next time we play!

I believe you have to land your plane after combat if there is a legal landing area, even if that means moving a carrier to retrieve the plane. Unless that is no longer true.
-
It’s still true.
-
Good point, Jenn. Forgot to mention that.
In the case of the lone sub against the Armada, when the sub fails the carrier cannot go pick up the fighter, so the fighter splashes (after sinking 10 transports :-D) and the carrier can sail off in the opposite direction if it wants.
majikforce, I recommend sharing your findings with your group before using it on them…. Although it might be fun to surprise them… :evil:
-
More fun to surprise, faster game to explain first. Also, if you explain first, you might not lose a friend when you sink his 10 transports.

Is Kiangsu an original territory of Japans? I want to build a major IC there first round. During what phase are the US minor ICs upgraded when at war, and when can the majors be used? Thanks.
-
@Trisdin:

No.
@Trisdin:

They are upgraded immediately when the US enters a state of war, no matter when or why that occurs. They are available for immediate use.
-
Can Japan still build a minor IC on Kiangsu or does the “building ICs only on original territories” apply to both majors and minors?
-
@Trisdin:

Only applies to majors. Anyone can build a minor anywhere they controlled at the beginning of the turn that has an IPC value of 2 or more and is not an island (Australia is not an island) This would include on a territory that started the game as a neutral or even a true neutral.

Regarding Alpha 2 new scramble rules:
N. Italy has an Italian fighter and tac plus a German fighter. S. Italy has 1 Italian fighter and 2 German ones.
SZ95/97 is attacked by the UK1. How many Axis air units can scramble to defend the Italian fleet? 3? 6?I’m having my first game of Global tonight :)
-
There does not exist an airbase in North Italy. Therefore, no fighters may scramble from there on England 1 to defend.
If Italy later purchases an airbase for North Italy, any future attacks can be defended by both North and South Italy and each territory may send up to 3 defending aircraft (fighter/tactical) for a total of 6.
If you put an Airbase in N. Italy, Yugoslavia, Albania and Greece you will have 5 airbases defending that sea zone for a grand total of 15 defending axis aircraft + any located on carriers!

Thanks for the clarification. Somehow I had on my mind that there was a 2nd airbase on N. Italy and forgot to recheck.

Say Russia has lost it’s capital and then captures Italy’s capital, what happens to Italy’s money? Does Russia get, Italy get to keep it, or does Uncle Obama claim it (i.e. nobody get’s it). What if Russia recaptures its capital the same turn it captures Italy’s capital.
-
The USSR gets Italy’s IPCs.
-
The USSR gets Italy’s IPCs.
Even if they have no capital? Can they use it if their capital is still captured?

@Emperor:

No, they hang onto it in the event that their capital gets liberated.
