@calvinhobbesliker:
So for all intents and purposes, it is a sea zone. If so, why is it not numbered?
Probably has to do with the Caspian Sea has been a part of the map since Classic and on Classic the SZs weren’t numbered.
Sort of. On all past maps the Caspian Sea has only touched two territories that also touch each other, so it has not needed to be a game space. On this map, it touches more than two territories, so it does need to be a game space. It was simply missed when the sea zone numbers were assigned because we’re not used to it needing a number.
@Mistergreen:
One further hostile sea zone question:
Can I leave a hostile sea zone with one or more naval units and still conduct combat in that sea zone with units I leave or move into the same sea zone?
Yes. In fact, you must conduct combat if any of your units are in the sea zone after combat movement is completed.
