Thanks Jen and Krieghund. I thought so but since we were on the subject, I thought I would ask to make sure.
It’s funny, you don’t really think of these little things then suddenly they come up in a game and it’s like “I’m not sure about that”. This just came up for me last night. Japan had transports by Japanese controlled Philippines, men and artillery on Java and they wanted to get them to British occupied Sumatra. There were 2 ANZAC subs in the sea zone around Java. So my transports could have moved from the naval base at Manila, picked up the troops from Java and went on to Sumatra all the while ignoring the ANZAC subs. There were no warships to escort the transports by the way.
Well, I ended up going another route with other troops and took Sumatra anyway. I will have to remember this for the future.
By the way, this is off topic, but has anyone gotten a truly outstanding roll of the dice? Last night, Germany was attacking Russia and in one battle, among other units, they had 5 infantry NOT supported by artillery (so they only attacked at a “1”). Germany rolled 5 combat dice and believe it or not rolled 5 "1"s. I was astounded. I have seen 3 out of 5, or 4 out of 6 or 7 before, but NEVER 5 out of 5. Needless to say that was a very good battle for Germany.
