• @Krieghund:

    Yes.

    But only if Russia is flying over territories on the Pacific side - essentially India via China, correct?  Otherwise that would be passing thru territories on the neutral side of the board, and I thought that was not permitted.

  • Official Q&A

    True.  The only territories on the Europe map that could be flown over en route are Soviet ones.

    My gaming group has some questions about attacking subs and transports.  I think I have the rules understood. I just need some clarification to pass on to my group.  
    1.) It is my understanding that during the combat move phase subs and transports do not block naval movement?

    2.) In addition you can choose to move some forces through a sea zone containing either a sub or a transport as well as allocating some of those forces to attack said transport or sub?

    3.) An enemy sub or transport in a sz does not prevent loading or offloading of your transports?  (Unless your transport is unloading and not accompanied by warships and there is an enemy sub present)

    4.) If you attack a transport or sub in a sz it does negate any offshore bombardments if there is an amphibious assault taking place?

    Please let me know what I have right and wrong and anything you can think of that I may have missed so I can clearly and finally settle a nagging part of the gameplay that slows us down alot.  Thanks everybody!

    Assuming Alpha 3:

    1.) Correct, and also during noncombat movement.  There is one exception, however (see 3, below).

    2.) Correct.

    3.) Correct, however transports can offload in the presence of enemy subs in noncombat movement without an escort.

    4.) Correct.

    Can the Chinese land their fighter in Burma?


  • Yes - Burma or Kwangtung (Hong Kong)

  • If UK pacific units take Persia and Iraq, does the income add to UK Pacific or Atlantic?


  • The units don’t have nationality once they are on the board. If the territory taken (in your case, on the Europe board) is on either board, the income goes to that side. So no, income from Persia or Iraq goes to Europe.

    Does not matter which units take it - all UK units are the same and work together.
    Unless Alpha3 rules changed this (don’t think they did, but still need to read them….) West Canada goes to Europe and West India goes to Pacific, but otherwise the UK territories go by what boards they’re on.

    Nope, no change from Alpha +2 to Alpha +3 in regards to the English units or what territories go to what treasury.


  • Thanks
    One of these days I need to go read the Alpha 3 rules
    I saw that you’re already having fun with Alpha 4, Jenn  :-)  I don’t blame you.  I like the idea of starting with historically accurate techs, too


  • If the UK and Anzac have declared war on Japan and no state of war exists between Japan and the US, can ftrs/bmrs from the UK or Anzac land in the Philipines? If so, can Japan attack the planes that land in the Philipines without provoking the US into a state of war with Japan?

    No they can’t land on the Phillipines because the USA is still neutral.


  • Thanks Gamer!


  • You’re welcome, but I just realized something……

    If for some reason the USA is at war with Germany or Italy, then the USA would not be neutral (even though they are not at war with Japan) and then the Phillipines would be available to their Allies.  But normally the USA is always at war with none or all of the Axis at once, right?

    So I was assuming the USA was neutral towards all Axis…

    No they can’t land on the Phillipines because the USA is still neutral.

    However, the Pacific allies may land planes on Dutch islands even if they remain in Dutch control.
