Convoy question

@thrumpskin:

Do ipc’s “roll over” like phone phone minutes?

Yes, but more like a bank account.

thanks! you rock!  :-D

@Rammstein:

Does this mean that ANZAC can “take” the territory with Fighters? Or it can simply land them there for defense and the territory remains Dutch? For that matter, must UK and ANZAC be at war with Japan in order to “take” the Dutch territories at all?

They must use land units to take the territory and they don’t have to be at war to do so

The sea zone is hostile.  The transport must leave the sea zone in combat movement, unless other US units attack the destroyers.  In any case, no units may be loaded there.

Thanks, that makes perfect sense.  The wording in the rulebook was confusing me :-D

i agree with u…im sure Krieghund will add that to the eratta

+1 to u sir

No.

I think the best way to deal with convoys is to have a zone like in AAP and AAE. It is a convoy route for a selected country. If it becomes occupied by an enemy then that country loses income for every turn thereafter until that evemy ship leaves the zone or it is destroyed. If the enemy ship leaves then the route opens again, it should not stay closed if the enemy then leaves! You should not have to have a friendly warship there to keep it open, only to defend it. To sum up what I said: if the zone has nothing there then the convoy is open and adding to the income of the country, if it is closed by and enemy ship then it won’t add to the income of the country any more.

So from my understanding if a convoy route is captured why are we losing money already collected? How does that make sense, the ships delivering IPCs already got to us, thus the collect income phase at the end of the turn. For every turn after then the income should be docked, but why immediately?
