In a current game, the USA has a lone sub sitting in the seazone by Japan. Japan places a new destroyer in the same zone as the USA sub during its turn. Does the USA have to move its sub during its combat phase or can the sub just sit there with the DD and do nothing?

Hi Der Kuenstler.
The US must attack the DD or else move out of the SZ in the Combat Move Phase.

@CWO:

In Anniversary and in Europe 1940 1st edition, the Italian equipment pieces are a darker shade of brown than the Italian infantry pieces.Â In Europe 1940 2nd edition, the equipment pieces are lighter and match the shade of the Italian troops.

I agree

As Soviet Union I prefer to buy something like 2 mechs and a tank for my forward ICs and set up for an quick strike into Finland/Norway and Iraq on Turns 4/5. Those NO IPCs come in handy, but it has to be a hasty retreat thereafter. Sometimes, if the German army is split I can pull off one or two successful attacks against the rising tide, but only if I don’t leave myself vulnerable to the counterattack. Of course, if Germany attacks prior to Turn 4 then the Soviet invasion of Scandinavia/Iraq must be abandoned.

I like buying a carrier first round with Germany. If UK builds a factory in cairo then he also has to kill the fleet in 97. If he does both of these then London is very light and I would probably build 9 transports with Germany to take UK. Once Uk is gone on T3, which is almost a 100% if UK attacked 97, 96, and bought the IC first turn, then Italy is free to take Cairo and get the IC in Egypt. Italy for the rest of the game would be making 30+. All you have to do is make sure you leave enough Units on Uk that US can’t liberate. Yes, Russia will be making a lot of money at this point, but only for a turn or two. Then you get her back down into the 35 range. Italy will soon be pressuring russia the Caucus region, and US won’t have many places that he can go besides norway. I think if Germany builds navy it is safer to wait till R2 to build the factory in Egypt. I also build a factory in persia R2 with UK. Use transport off egypt to pick man up and take persia R1.

Question regarding loading allied land units onto allied transports

@P@nther:

This is covered in the rulebook:

@Rulebook:

Multinational Forces: Transports belonging to a friendly power can load and offload your land units. This is a three-step process:
1. You load your land units aboard the friendly transport on your turn.
2. The transport’s controller moves it (or not) on that player’s turn.
3. You offload your land units on your next turn.

Unloading in an enemy territory occurs in your scenario in US’ combat move phase, followed by the battle.
Unloading in a friendly territory occurs in US’ NCM phase.

Thanks, sorry I missed that.

I love buying subs as germany. I think its the best cost efficient way to slow down US and put a stranglehold on UK economy. Having a lot of subs and weakening UKs economy will make the UK think twice about buying naval units. I find that attacking USSR on G2 has worked best for me. I will also buy at least 3 subs per turn and have at least 12 subs in the atlantic by the time the US comes over. The US cannot be stopped only delayed a round or two which will be huge.

@Ruanek:

I could have sworn the UK could occupy French Indo-China to get its 2 IPCs. And occupying territories controlled by powers whose capital is taken is similar in the concept for occupying the Dutch East Indies.

Nope. Dutch territories are a special case.

@Ruanek:

In any case, what’s the logic behind not being able to occupy friendly territories whose capital is taken but being able to do it after liberating it from the enemy?

What Gargantua said. Also, it’s not nice to kick your friends when they’re down and plunder their territories. Besides, what if there are still units belonging to your ally in the territory? Will they just let you walk in and take over?
