I know I saw this question asked here before, but can’t remember the answer, and the search function is beyond useless.
Is Sicily connected to Italy or do you need a transport?Generally, speaking, I think it’s a moot issue since you also have Sardinia.
i do not understand why this is a “moot point” because of sardinia? that does not change the fact that you need a trns to travel from sicily to sit

The only reason to go to Sicily is to deny the enemy a landing zone for any attacking fighters, but since Sardinia is an island in the same sea zone, to accomplish this you would need Sardinia AND Sicily.
Quick question: If I take Columbia, South America during the USA combat move; can I then non combat Mech and Armor from Panama (which should be one zone) into Brazil, thus gaining the 3 men and the 2 IPCs?
Rather than transport to Brazil turn 4 I can get Brazil by land if this is correct.
From Brazil, I should be able to wage war against the other South American holdouts that fail to see the just cause that fighting socialism represents.
Edit: (Response to Post Below) Yes it would give the axis men, around the globe, if they can reach them. It would be part of a combined plan to land in Spain the same turn as a shortcut to Berlin, France, or Rome. I figured I could use my starting fast movers and a bomber to clear up S. America while I focus allied waves on Spain each round to enter Europe with only 1 US defensive fleet and a naval base at Gibraltar or neutral touching sz 91. This would give USA + 11 IPCs for S.America/Iberian Peninsula.

Yes this is legal in the order which you describe. This would make all other true neutrals turn pro axis, meaning Spain/Sweden/Turkey will go to the Axis.:(

Their status changes to Pro-Axis, but they do not “go to the Axis” until the Axis gets ground units there during their own non-coms.

Yeah, it wasn’t rules questions, but it wasn’t “mindless chatter”.
Gamerman, where do you think would be a good place to post the topic in question?
Um, I’d go with General Discussion, since it’s not about a specific version of A&A.
Hey Jimmy most of us appreciate your sentiments - that you don’t want other stuff cluttering up the FAQ thread. Just ask a moderator to go through the thread and delete posts that have nothing to do with answering FAQ questions. It can be cleaned up by a moderator, and then all of us don’t have to be super careful to never post anything non-FAQ related.
I will do so upon the request of both Krieghund and Gamerman as they are the main respondants of the thread.
Sorry to keep kicking this dead horse, but I keep seeing posts in the main Forum of people saying things like, I checked the FAQ but couldn’t find the answer in 120 pages. I think waiting for Krieghund and Gamerman to request a cleanup is wrong, you should be looking for that request from the newbies–The people who don’t know the rules so well and want to use the FAQ as a resource. These people it seems have spoken, whether it be here or on the forum at large, this FAQ is too cluttered!
Seriously, how many times have your read in a new post that people can’t find the answer they’re looking for in the FAQ thread? It must happen at least once a week. Is this not reason enough? Also I will again offer my time to go through and clean it up if it is too daunting for the Moderators.
Question about moving spaces with an Airplane (figther) in A2
In the manual it states:
At page 27 of the Rules (Europe)and 26 (Pacific) it states … to determine range…when moving over water from a coastal territory or island group count the first sea zone entered as one space. When flying to an Island group, count the surrounding sea zone and Island group itself as one space each.
What is than the allowed route. Red or Green?
Well its a bit strange, with route Green3 is travel the whole seazone 49 using 1 movement point. (so got more distance than in Red3) but I still not 2 movement points to travel seazone 49 and land according to the rules. (see the picture to explain it

I´m Germany . If i make a startegic bombin raid on the airbase in London , and the same combat move a combat in SZ 110. can the fighters from london scramble to the see fight if it get 3 hit`s? when did we see if scramble is possible? in the moment where see fight is occured? Or when?
all combat occurs at the same time, and since the UK decides whether or not to scramble before combat begins, he would get to scramble(or choose to intercept) regardless of the outcome of the SBR. :-D
I agree, Jimmy. No need to wait for some kind of OK from certain posters… Somebody please start working on cleaning up this whole thread, for the good of everyone. With the search function no longer working, it is important. Jenn? Can you, or is there some way to let Jimmy lend his services to help clean up?

I would like that as well.
The Russian NO for Archangel and SZ125 can be denied by a German Sub, right?

Exactly right. There is a subtle difference in the rules. Sometimes, it mentions “surface warship” which is destroyer, cruiser, carrier, battleship. Other places (like for Z125), it’s “warship”, which includes submarines. Tricky.
can bombardments ever occur when there is a surface warship in the Sz you amphibious assault from? for instance, If there is one enemy destroyer defending the Sz, and you have a whole fleet, can some of your ships attack the destroyer and your other ships do a bombardment along with the troop landing?

No. 1 Destroyer stops 100 battleships accompanying 50 loaded transports from launching a single salvo.
You cannot attack some things in a sea zone with some ships, and other things with other ships. The only division like this that you can do, is that you may (in the absence of a sea battle) launch supporting shots at multiple territories from the same sea zone simultaneously.
Can I move into a neutral during noncombat take ownership of it (although not able to land there), and also fly planes over that zone to land elsewhere in the same turn?
Example, Land units from Persia take East Persia, can UK fly planes over east persia during that same noncombat move, to land in west india or india?
you can fly over any territory, except true neutrals. so you can get to your destination no matter what

I don’t think they can fly over in the same turn they’re taken, but am only 95% sure. Wait for confirm from Krieg on this one.
Onekid, you are incorrect, you cannot fly over ANY neutrals (or the pripet marshes or the sahara……)
Page 10 of the Europe manual, under “Friendly neutrals”:
2nd paragraph
Friendly neutrals may not be attacked, and air units may not fly over them.
Please, people, do not post answers to this thread as if you know for sure, when it conflicts directly with a very plain and simple rule in the rulebook. If you’re not even reading the rulebook, do not post answers on this thread.
It took me less than 2 minutes to find this in the rulebook (see timestamps for proof)
im sorry Gamerman, i didnt have the rulebook in front of me, thank you for correcting me, as the way i was playing was flawed.
