Noncombat move phase

If your playing a smart player, who does not “Pearl Harbor” with Japan and uses the Navy to take India which is basically Impossible to stop.  Do not buy Industrial complex turn 1.  Wait and see if the Japan player does “Pearl Harbor” or not if he does then you should be safe but i would wait until turn 2 or 3.  Don’t forget about the 2 infantry and transport in Australia they help defend India very well, Also the transport can move Infantry from Africa to India (after Germany has been removed from Africa).  My favorite UK strategy is to fly fighters from India to Russia “Moscow”. Creates a brick wall of infantry and fighters to setup a long game to use the Allied 3 turn advantage to win.  Its hilarious to watch Germany throw tanks and infantry trying to wear down Russia and the 10+ UK fighters and Russian Infantry  just obliterate them.

Varn, you’re turning into a guru/master.  I’ve followed your games with Flip, you remind me of the borg with your ability to adapt, well done.  Hopefully once the drywall dust and paint settles from the home renovation and the insurance company has their fill with sending me to be poked and prodded by doctors I will get on tripleA and face your wrath!  Merry Christmas!

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.

Just to clarify….the OP is referring to the AE gambit in low luck.  So he’s not really risking much by taking one less fig to UKR…he will still take it 100% but just with higher than av. losses.

It’s difficult to judge the efficacy of the gambit because whether it works or not depends on dice and the German player’s reaction.  If Germany ends up skipping SZ2…then it worked.  Or if Germany fails to actually take Egy, it worked.  The main risk is if Germany goes to both 2 and Egy and succeeds…  On the other hand, sometimes Germany will go to both 2 and Egy and get diced up…even 2 is not a sure thing in low luck because of the Russian sub.

No. Your one movement is the loading onto the transport. Any land unit on a transport can be loaded and offloaded on a single turn but it takes up all their movement.
