Thanks!

I just wanted to make sure!

Welcome to the boards, Aaron - feel free to ask your rules questions here any time you have any doubts or wonderings.

Thanks Gamerman,

I have been a long time reader - but I just recently signed up. I’m glad to be here. Everyone I have encountered so far has been very helpful.  :-D

Great to hear.

This may have been asked, but would like clarification on kamikaze rules. It was my understanding that an amphibious assault IN one of the designated sea zones could trigger an attack IF there were eligible unit involved in an attack on units in that zone or an amphibious assault was occurring IN that sea zone.  Using tripleA, noticed that sending a transport from z35 to another zone for an amphibious assault (Only a transport) it triggered the kamikaze attack on the remaining ships in z35.

I feel this is inaccurate, but wanted clarification.

Thank you.

[gamerman01]

You’re right.
Kamikazes can only target surface warships, so if there are no surface warships then kamikazes cannot be used.

Been away from the game for some time and just recently bought the second editions.  Convoy Disruption Question:  Am I reading this right? The rule book states, “The sea zone must be adjacent to one or more of YOUR controlled territories.” Is this in the pretense of me being attacked or myself the aggressor, because why would you disrupt a convoy adjacent to your own territory? Just reads unassumingly. Also, “At least one warship belonging to a power you are at war with must be in the sea zone.” Can you no longer disrupt convoy sea zones that are devoid of enemy ships? Also if there were enemy ships in the convoy wouldn’t a battle engagement precede the convoy disruption?

[gamerman01]

Same as OOB you just check convoy zones for enemy ships in the Collect Income phase.

On YOUR turn, you might lose income if ENEMY ships (and carrier based planes and tacs) are in convoy zones adjacent to YOUR territories.

It is independent of conventional naval combat.  If an enemy ship is in your convoy zone after your combat phase (because it’s in the collect income phase at the end of your turn), you might lose income (depends on dice)

Thanks Gamer, that’s what I thought, just read a little funny to me from the rule book.

No problem

That did answer all your convoy questions, then?

[tloger]

Yes,thanks

Hi kilroynothere ,
in which version of TripleA the error occurs?
Please send a PM or maybe the savefile with a notice to Veqryn and his team, so they can fix it in the next TripleA version!

I need clarity on the Allies landing planes in Dutch territories…

1. Can an Allied plane land in Dutch territory on Non-Com movement if not yet taken by a land unit from either Axis or Allies (still orange)

2. Can an Allied plane land on Non-Com movement in a newly “converted” Dutch territory. (just converted fronm Orange on the same non-com turn.

Again, the rule book does not clearly state, but says: [British/Anz] may, however, move units into Dutch territories as a noncombat movement at any time, as long as those territories have not been captured by an Axis power.

@kcdzim:

Dutch territories are treated exactly the same as any other territory that is

a) friendly
b) lost their capitol.

The only difference between Dutch territories and say, French territories after Paris has been lost, is that the UK/Anzac have a special relationship that allows them to take control of them before they’ve been captured by moving a ground unit into it.  Typically you need to capture - this is the one of the two instances where control of a friendly territory passes to a friendly power.  The other instance is a neutral that has been attacked but not captured.

So when you’re confused about things, ask yourself how you’d treat normandy if it were still french.

Can you UK/Anzac/US/Russia land a plane there?  Yes, as long as it started the turn friendly and they’re not neutral.  Exactly the same as any other friendly territory.

The US is not barred from being in a dutch territory - they must be at war first, but then they’re allowed to move into it just like any other friendly territory.

In the 2E Europe rulebook on page 39, under global’s “Additional Rules” I notice the United States starts with three minor industrial complexes that get upgrade when the US enters the war.

This is the final version of that rule from Alpha, correct? I remember it being changed back and forth a couple of times.

I have started a game with my son, can I build a major IC in Manchuria for Japan even though it has a China symbol on it?  I know Japan starts with Manchuria.
