Yes! Thank you Krieg. :-)
-
That is good.

Wish I had come here sooner to learn that! We noticed that UK had 31 IPC on the map and gave it that since the Allies always needed more help than that anywya.

I have a question.
During an amphibious assault must transports have a warship with it even in a non hostile (Clear) seazone to offload into a hostile land territory. If so, why? Reason for the question, is because I dont believe you do, and a buddy of mine believes you do. And there is nothing in the rule book that saids you can or cant.
-
No, they do not. You are right.
Your friend might be thinking of an amphibious assault by an unescorted Transport into a SZ occupied by an enemy Sub. That would require a Transport to be escorted, despite the friendly SZ. -
Thank you. I have one more question. In the rule book it saids during an amphibious assault if there is only an enemy sub and or transport, you the attaker have the choice to attack or ignore. Does that mean i still can go in Unescorted or would i have to be escorted. Also if i did go in with a destroyer doesn’t that Voids the option to ignore? Just wondering for myself. Thanks again

This is related to my first question. About the amphibious assault/ transport. Does that apply to all AAA games or does the rule change depending on the game?

If there is an enemy sub in that sea zone your transport must be escorted with a warship (not sure if this can be a sub or has to be a surface ship). You now have the choice whether to attack the sub or ignore it. You cannot bring only a transport into a sea zone with an enemy sub and offload.
-
I thought so. Thanks

No. The only thing that voids the option to ignore enemy transports and/or subs is if the defender scrambles air units to the sea zone.
Does that apply to all AAA games or does the rule change depending on the game?
It applies to all of the current versions (1914, 1941, 1942 2nd edition, 1940 2nd edition), but not to earlier ones.

It can be a sub.
@IKE:
You cannot bring only a transport into a sea zone with an enemy sub and offload. Â
This applies only to amphibious assaults, not to noncombat movement.

One Germany open they hit the sea zone off east us I destroy US fleet , Germany has one sub left. On USA turn they purchas 2 destroyers and drop them in that Seazone . On Germany’s turn during combat can I move my sub out of that sea zone or will destroyes prevent this
-
Afternoon General Kenobi.
Yes, the German player can move out of the SZ.
A Destroyer stops movement into the SZ, not out. -
The problem is that wherever they go, the US destroyer can follow :)
They’ve done their job though and maybe even get lucky and score a 1 on defense. -
No. The only thing that voids the option to ignore enemy transports and/or subs is if the defender scrambles air units to the sea zone.
Did Axis & Allies 1942 2nd Edition introduce “scramble” rules?
And hi. -
Hi tekkyy. No it has not.
Most guys here have all the games, so Krieg was probably just pointing that out to us for 1940. -
The official FAQ has been updated per September 3, 2014.
