Hi ANZAC. For the HBG 1939 map, think of a 4x8 sheet of plywood. Its is HUGE and awesome. You need a big room for that size table plus room to walk around on all 4 sides. I only played the 1939 game one time and I can say it is definitely superior in a hundred different ways, but playing it is an order of magnitude more complex than global 1940. Global 1940 seems like the kiddie game next to it, which is nuts because global 1940 is not an easy game by any means. I’d say your best bet is to get the global 1940 if only for the pieces, and then blow the extra money for the 1939 map and elite pieces if and when you and your crew outgrow it. Another option is to play 1940 on this site with triplea.

It’s not legal to move to Hawaii before being at war with the USA. There is a rule that says you can’t move ships within 2 seazones of the Continental US and Alaska
Eh, now I can’t remember how the 2 zones are counted. But even if Hawaii is legal, it’s a pretty crappy spot because you can’t use the naval base so can’t get back to Caro or Japan in 1 move
-
Ah that’s right. Cool.
-
So yeah, like you said. I almost entirely agree with your posts

During combat movement can an Italian unit load on a German transport and unload during the same turn if the transport does not have to move?

No.
@Pac:
Transporting Multinational Forces:
Transports belonging to a friendly
power can load and offload your land
units, as long as both powers are at
war. 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. -
In G40 can the US unload a transport with one inf and claim Brazil while still NEUTRAL? As I read the rules the US cannot leave original US territories with a transport on the Atlantic size and also a neutral country cannot move into other neutral countries, but a guy I play with asked Wizards for the answer and was told he could?
Grant T. Game Wrangler Customer Service Specialist from Wizards of the Coast said “As long as America doesn’t declare war or attack another nation it should be able to move and unload to friendly countries.”
With that logic then the US can drop off troops in New South Wales or London while still neutral which is not correct. Can I get Krieg to rule in on this one?
-
Unfortunately, Wizards gave your friend an incorrect answer. No neutral power may move units into or through neutral territories or territories belonging to another power. See page 15 of the Europe Rulebook.
-
I knew they did, that is why I posted here. Thanks for the quick response.
-
It is not the first time Wizards has made mistakes. This is the best place for answers, Cond1024, as I am sure you know.

sub transport with 2 inf dropping on island, island defended by 1 sub. Does the sub deny my landing? Do we fight it out (he can submerge thus my landing goes or fight it out and win/lose thus possibly deny landing? How does t his work?
-
The sub allows you to land with the transport during the combat movement phase
A warship (sub qualifies) escorting the transport allows the transport to work over the enemy subNo combat takes place unless you declare that you are attacking the sub. Then the defender could choose to fight or submerge

I buy naval units including a carrier to place them into a hostile sea zone. May I ncm existing planes there knowing that they can land?

@V.:

Welcome to the forum, V. Manstein.
Yes, you may do that:
@rulebook:
A fighter or tactical bomber can land in a sea zone (even a
hostile one) that is adjacent to an industrial complex you own
if you will be mobilizing an aircraft carrier that you previously
purchased in that zone during the Mobilize New Units phase.HTH :-)

Germany Dows Russia, can germany load on to transports with cruiser contesting the water?
-
I am sure I can load and offload the round I dow, but if I start doing J2 or J3 dows again for whatever reason, I need the link for new players to show or a quote with page number for rules.
-
@Cow:

Page 12, Europe rulebook, in the Declaring War box:
“During your Combat Move phase in which you entered into a state of war, your transports that are already in sea zones that have just become hostile may be loaded in those sea zones (but not in other hostile sea zones). In effect, transports may be loaded in their initial sea zones for amphibious assaults before war is declared, while the sea zone is still friendly.” -
There is no reason for ANZAC to DOW on Japan other than to exploit this loophole. Therefore, I submit that removing ANZAC’s ability to DOW on Japan would be perfectly reasonable and remove a loophole.
Spent a few hours driving today and realised all you need to do is remove the link when ANZAC DOWs to the UK. i.e. if ANZAC DOWs, the UK is not at war with Japan. There are reasons why you might want to keep the link if Japan does a DOW - if there’s a mixed fleet. It matters little if you keep or remove the link for the UK.
-
Yeah there is a reason for the link. Basically all politics of the UK and ANZAC are linked, so it’s simple that way (no exceptions to track).
You could always house rule that if one declares war on Japan unprovoked that that is an exception to the link, if you hate the loophole possibility

Can a tactical bomber be sent on a SBR when it cannot do any damage?
Does it participate in the dogfight?
Is it exposed to the AAA?Context: Japan keeps sending 1 tactical bomber + 1 strategic bomber to India, which is defended by 2 fighters. Every time the strategic bomber bombs the factory and the tactical bomber bombs the airport/harbour (the TAC is sent along in the SBR to provide an escort during the dogfight). At some point, the airport&harbour both have 6 damage. Can the tactical bomber still be sent to India?
-

Yes, technically it bombs the ruins but the additional damage cannot be assigned.
Does it participate in the dogfight?
Yes, as an attacking bomber (not as “escort”, only fighters can escort).
Is it exposed to the AAA?
Yes, every attacking bomber surviving the dogfight is subject to the AA-fire of the facility it attacks (other than fighter escorts).
The self-defense antiaircraft ability of the facility is not affected by damage.Context: Japan keeps sending 1 tactical bomber + 1 strategic bomber to India, which is defended by 2 fighters. Every time the strategic bomber bombs the factory and the tactical bomber bombs the airport/harbour (the TAC is sent along in the SBR to provide an escort during the dogfight). At some point, the airport&harbour both have 6 damage. Can the tactical bomber still be sent to India?
Yes. There is nothing in the rules that prevents bombers from bombing damaged (to whatever extent) facilities … but damage exceeding the limits is not applied.
HTH :-)
