Tank blitzing through newly conquered territory

Wow thanks I wish the rulebook stated it that way

You have to wait a turn.

Blitzing is a combat move, where you blitz through an unoccupied territory and take it, either to engage in combat in an adjecent territory or to move (or return) to an adjecent friendly territory.

In your case your combat movement phase has ended, since you have already resolved combat in China. You can not take Sinkiang in this turn then, since it would be a combat move.

Thanks much appreciated. I wondered why Russia seemed very weak.

To clarify, land units must end their combat movement upon entering a hostile territory (blitzing tanks being the exception), sea units must end their combat movement upon entering a hostile sea zone (subs being the exception, if there are no enemy destroyers), and air units may move freely through hostile spaces.

All units must end their combat movement either under the above restrictions or in a space in which combat will occur (which may or may not be the same thing).  Of course, there are various exceptions to this, such as transports conducting an amphibious assault from a friendly sea zone and sea units moving from a hostile sea zone to escape combat.

Neither land nor sea units may move in noncombat movement if they either moved in combat movement or participated in combat.  However, air units may (and possibly must) move in both phases, as they must return to a safe landing space after combat, and this is done in the noncombat movement phase.

@Artaxiad:

How many territories can a unit take over in one move?I.e. Can a bomber take over 6 because it can move 6?Or is it that a unit can only capture 1 territory a turn?

Air units cannot capture a territory (They must land in a territory owned by you at the start of the turn as well)

Tanks can “blitz” through an unnoccupied enemy territory and move on to a 2nd territory and thus capture both in the same turn.

All other ground units only move one space per turn anyway, so obviously One for them.

@Krieghund:

Loading onto and/or unloading from transports is definitely considered to be movement for land units, as they are moving from one space to another.

Yeah, true, what I meant was that the sea zones the transport moves through do not count as spaces for the land units, only the territories where they’re being loaded and offloaded do.

Thanks!

good deal, that’s the way we played it, but the way the printing actually worked out overlapping it coulda helped the German defense of the Med, as would have that UK sz3 thing to protect Karelia.
thanks Krieg.
