@genken Might be cool to have a house rule that 1) 1, 2 or 3 the ship is damaged in a way that it moves at half but attacks full or 2) 4, 5, or 6 it is damaged in a what that it moves 2 spaces but attacks with a hit on 1 or 2 vs 4 normally.

I just want to make this clear and to be rid of any doubt. Controling Norway has NOTHING to do with controling the danish straits right? You need to have friendly control of just denmark at the beginning of your turn in order to move through it right? I’ve heard some people talk about allies contesting Norway every turn to lock the german navy in the baltic.

You’re right. It’s only control of Denmark, just like it’s control of Gibraltar for that strait. I believe the only place you need two territories is for the Suez canal.

At what phase of the turn are new units placed upon taking a Pro-Axis or Pro-Allied move?
Are those new units eligible for NCM moves?

You can place the units immediately, but they can’t move in that same turn. They can move next turn.
For example, Germany can take over Bulgaria and Finland on G1. The units can be converted (placed) as German units immediately (during non-combat movement), but they cannot move until G2 (because they are now German units).

You do realize in Alpha2 or 3 that Russia can’t move into any neutrals on the Europe map until at war with Italy or Germany? -
Can planes fly over true neutrals, friendly neutrals (not taken over by a pro-ally), the Sahara Dessert and/or the Himalayas? I believe that this is prohibited, but I have seen some strategies where players are flying fighters from Calcutta to Moscow and from Calcutta to Jordan (turn 1). Is this possible? To fly from Calcutta to Moscow, a fighter would have to go over the Himalayas or Afghanistan. To fly from Calcutta to Jordan, a fighter has to go through Iraq or Saudi Arabia. I feel that I am missing something…

No to all. You cannot fly over impassable territories, and you cannot fly over neutrals (pro-axis, pro-allies or strict, no matter what, until they’ve been attacked or controlled by any player power at which time they’re no longer neutral)
-
Those moves are not allowed; you’re not missing anything.
Unless planes are attacking those neutrals during combat move - which would be very silly, especially without ground accompaniment - they can’t fly past them in non-combat.
Impassables like the Sahara and the Himalayas can never be flown over.

Good points.
Note that you can’t attack something that’s not there, so if a neutral has no standing army you couldn’t attack them with planes.
However, it is possible that a player may want to attack a neutral (esp. pro-the other side) for one round in order to get planes to the other side of the neutral. Very rare, but possible. Looking over the map, there are very few non-strict neutrals that would shorten flight paths by flying over…… -
Could you use the Dardanelles strait to fly air through even while Turkey is a strict neutral?
-
Yes.

No to both

I was recently informed that in Pacfic40, declaring the intention to convoy is a condition for convoy damage.
Does convoy damage work this way in Global? Can I choose not to convoy my opponents even if they want to lose IPC to convoy damage?

No intention necessary. If you’re at war and you’re in their convoy zone, there is convoy damage - it’s not an option for either side.
Page 22 of Europe manual (is same for Pacific) “A review of the map, specifically looking for such situations, is the reponsibility of all players. This is a step in this phase of the turn. All players should be on the lookout for such convoy attack situations and point them out”Krieghund has confirmed this before, too

Question regarding SBR, it has not come up before for us.
When sending bombers for SBR and the interceptor combat is concluded, are bombers required to choose a target to bomb or may they decline acting as “escorts” for the bombers that do decide to bomb.
Alpha 2 and Alpha 3 how does this apply.
Situation:
We want to send 15 bombers to bomb a MIC and it has 1 fighter in space, but we only want to use one bomber to bomb and let the other 14 bombers act as “escorts”. -

Tactical Bombers do not act as “escorts”. Only fighters can be used as “escorts” Tactical Bombers can be taken as casualties to fire from interceptors, the same as Strategic Bombers can, and generally will be selected first, but that doesn’t make them “escorts” and it confuses forum readers when they’re called that. It is a known loophole that tactical bombers can shield strategic bombers in certain circumstances, but only fighters are used as “escorts”
Now that that’s clear, when interceptor combat is finished, tactical bombers (and strategic bombers) CANNOT choose to disengage. If you send tactical bombers on a strategic bombing mission, they MUST have a legal target to bomb (a naval base or air base MUST be in the territory, though you don’t need to declare which you’ll hit) and they MUST continue on after interceptor/escort/defensive fire to a naval or air base (selected at this point, and then the installation fires AA at the tactical bombers).
