Scenario B would be correct. The rules specifically say that while it is legal to onload troops onto friendly transports, they must onload on your turn, and may only be offloaded on your next turn. The U.K may not offload the troops for you or you may not hop scotch using a transport.

Right, you’re right, Russia can’t go into a pro-Allied neutral (NW Persia) until at war with Euro-Axis

Thanks guys!

New to the forum because my gaming buddy and I have a question:
If I attack a seazone and eliminate all hostile units in the seazone, can i move naval vessels that have not moved in combat through that sea zone in non-combat? My theory is that the sea zone in non-combat is now friendly and see units can move freely through…
Thanks in advance!

-
Yes you can AtW.
To tie that answer into the preceding thread - you can make a non combat move through or into that sea zone as it is no longer hostile.
-
Thanks!

If another player asks me how much money I have in the bank do I have to tell that player?

@master4709:

Yes, IPC’s on hand is supposed to be totally open
You have no obligation to give him your routing and account numbers, however :wink:

Noticed that triple-A only allows an opportunity to not kill an undefended transport if the attacker is a sub. Perhaps that behaviour is correct according to the rules? It only allows a submerge, not a retreat so could be kosher.
Has this point ever been clarified? Seems like a hard reading of the rules would show that the current behaviour is correct albeit a little counter intuitive.
-
Pretty sure if you make a combat move with a sub into a sea zone with an undefended enemy transport, that transport would be sunk according to the rules.
If you don’t want to attack and sink the transport, you move the sub in the noncombat movement phase
Never trust Triple A to follow the rulebook exactly. It wasn’t designed that way. That’s why they give you the big notice - players are expected to know the rulebook
-
I’m thinking like a programmer. There are a few other cases, mostly with the sub starting in that same SZ. Perhaps the TT moved there on that power’s NCM either suiciding or planning for an ally to sink the TT.
I guess under the defenseless transport rule, you shouldn’t get an option to submerge.
Be nice if we could get rid of as many unnecessary prompts as possible.
-
Ok, I’m satisfied that the defenseless transport applies even if the attacker is a sub and could normally submerge.
The reason for this post is a First Edition of 1940 question. I’ve noticed that in the XML for SBR fighters attack on a 1 but defend on a 2. Is that a mistake? I can’t find a copy of the rule book.
BTW, still looking for Kreighund’s answer for this question:
@simon33:In fact, the formerly noted “bug” about 2nd rockets being able to be targetted after the 1st rocket is rolled appears to be not a bug unless there is some previous answer making it a bug.
-
No, it’s right. I own a first edition rulebook and I just verified that fighters attack on a 1 and defend on a 2 in the original out of the box game.
Defenseless transport rule is only that you don’t have to actually roll the dice when only transports are left (in the conduct combat phase).
From the blue box: “In a sea battle, if the defender has only transports remaining and the attacker still has units capable of attacking, the defending transports are all destroyed.”This is in the rules for “Phase 3: Conduct Combat”
The defenseless transport rule does not come into play in the movement phases
-
Hmm, is it the same rule as v5 (aka 1942.2) where the attacking units get a first strike on the defenders and remaining defenders then fire on a 2? This rule is not emulated in Triple-A.
Re: defenseless transports, from that rule I read that there is no option for a sub to submerge instead of firing at a defenseless transport. If you don’t want to attack it at all you will still get the prompt “attack transports in X Sea Zone”

There is no reason why you would need to declare all rocket targets before rolling for any rockets.
-
Ok, thanks.
A lot of people have seen it differently BTW. Goes against the Zen of Axis and Allies which is you can’t change your attacks after you see the results of another attack, other than retreating.
I might see if I can convince the developers to add an option. Easy enough to do, hard to convince them!

Ok
Can USA take control of celeb (celeb is not activated by any power yet) when at war (with Japan)?
-
No Oystello. Only Uk or Anzac can do that, if still Dutch.
-
However, it can still land air or land units on those territories while they remain Dutch. And if UK or ANZAC activate the territories, the units survive, I’m sure.

If an AA gun fires a rocket, does that constitute a combat action depriving the AA gun of a non-combat move?

I think I found the answer, and it is no, right?
