Now that’s classic!!

I can see a troll at the booth now, $5 buddy, and answer 3 questions.

Three questions? Here we go (Monty P style):
-what is your name
*admiral so and so
-what is your quest
*to sink german navy
-what is your favorite color
*red

OK u can pass :-D

I played my first game this weekend.  I am not the owner of the games, so I don’t have the rules or board to look at and I am going off memory for this question….

In our game, UK Pacific started to march troops west to get the troops and income in pro-Allied Persia. Persia is located on the European board though.  Who gets this income?  Also, a question on the UK NO’s.  While it didn’t state it in the rule book, we agreed that the NO regarding all German subs cleared from the board should go to UK Europe.  How about the other NO.  It requires the UK (and I think ANZAC) to own all original territories.  Is it my choice to split that NO income as I see fit?  This can matter since UK Europe and UK Pacific income is kept separate.  If I can choose, could I split it, say, three ipc to Europe and two to Pacific?

Thanks for replying in advance.

@calvinhobbesliker:

Is the US allowed to move trough sea zones touching Europe into a sea zone that doesn’t(eg. from Z118-Z124) when not at war?

So is Iceland considered part of Europe (for game play)? The rules specifically call out England and Scotland, but not Iceland. I thought sz123 was legal. Sorry if this was answered already.

From page 34 of the Rulebook: “The United Kingdom’s objective is “The British Empire”—to retain control of
its old centers of power.  To reflect this objective, the United Kingdom Europe economy (see Global United Kingdom Rules, pg. 32) collects bonus IPC income during each of its Collect Income phases in the following situations.”

Yes, Iceland is part of Europe.

Ok thanks for clearing that up, are you adding it to the FAQ?

By the way any idea when the FAQ may be ready?

Thank you for the answer.  I have a couple more questions and I would like to apologize in advance if these are in the rule book (I don’t have it), but my game group missed it if it is.

India is split in two between the Europe and Pacific board.  W. India (I think that is what it is called) is on the Europe board but counts for the UK Pacific income, correct?

Italy and Russia both have NOs that talk about warships in the Med. or sz 125 respectively.  What exactly is the definition of a warship?  Does this include subs or transports?

If UK Europe falls, can UK Pacific “liberate” any of the territories on the Europe board and then collect that income?  I mean if the US liberates a UK Europe territory while London is captured, it gets the income.  I would think UK Pacific should be able to ‘liberate’ and collect UK Europe income too.

Thank you

a No
b ussr any warship–- anything but a transport
  italy— any surface warship (transports and subs do not count)
c  ALL pacific income is only on the pacific board the same for atlantic.  If london falls then the only income is the pacific income to calcutta

@gsh34:

No.  All of the territories on the Europe board count for Europe income, and all of the territories on the Pacific board count for Pacific income.

@gsh34:

A warship is any sea unit that has either an attack or defense value, in other words anything but a transport.

No.  There is no such thing as “UK Europe units” or “UK Pacific units”.  They’re all just UK units.  If they liberate a territory, its control goes back to its original economy, even if its capital is held by the enemy.

Thank you for the answers and clarity.

Great Job everybody!  The wealth of knowledge here is amazing.  I am getting ready to have my first global game this Saturday and had a couple questions.  I can’t waste any more time at work looking to see if they have been asked yet so i apologize if i am redundant.

1.  Are convoy disruption considered an act of war?  ex. can Japan have ships hanging out by borneo without having to be at war with UK.

2.  If a fighter uses all of its movement to participate in a sea battle with the intention of landing on a participating carrier can it then retreat with the carrier to another sz?  What if the carrier does not fight in the battle, can it retreat to the carrier?

3.  For the ANZAC one time NO for occupying an originally controlled Japanese territory does the chinese territories that japan starts with count? (i guess this is an AAP40 question sorry)

Thanks alot!  hopefully the answers to these will help prevent fisticuffs i mean issues Sat night.

If a fighter uses all of its movement points to get to a sea battle and then retreats, it will have no place to land and crash because it can’t go anywhere.

1. You either declare war or are at war by someone declaring on you(i.e. already at war). Convoy raiding only occurs if at war. Regardless of if you had a chance to fight yet. (Meaning they declare war or actually attack your units, and during their collect income phase your subs destroy IPCs. Even if you have not had a turn yet.)

2. If the fighter lives, it won’t have any movement and the carrier will be required to move there for it to land. If the carrier does not move in (unable to) then the fighter crashes, hopefully you can assign a hit to destroy the fighter if you do not want to move it there. During retreats, land and sea units move to a friendly/non-hostile territory they came from. Air units have always remained and landing normally during non combat. Therefor, I believe the plane would crash during non combat as it has no additional movement and there is no landing space if the carrier is not there to “catch” it. The only example of planes receiving 1 extra movement are defending planes who have their carrier destroyed, they have 1 movement space to land or crash.

3. Yes the Chinese territories shaded orange on the board (i.e. Japan’s starting territory color) are “originally” controlled by Japan. (Manchuria, Jehol, Shantung, Kiangsu, Kiangsi, and Kwangsi) the other eligible territories are (Siam, Korea, Japan, Okinawa, Formosa, Hainan, Iwo Jima, Marianas, Marshall Islands, and Paulau). Remember the allies can control it first, you get the once per game income when an Anzac unit lands either during combat or non combat.

This is not official, but it is the way we play it in my group. Krieghund is the user name of the guy that writes the axis rules. His replies are axis “gospel”.

Edit: Krieghund answered while I was typing this up….bad timing on my part.
