Global 2nd edition Q+A ( AAG40.2)

Can a Soviet Mech Infantry in Caucasus activate both North West Persia and Persia in the same move?
Can a Tank?

You can’t Blitz a neutral and you have to end your move there.

See Page 10, A&A Europe 1940 rule book.

china can’t attack french indo china with a fighter can he?

The China rules state that their fighter is under the same restrictions as their land units.
The fighter cannot move into territories that China is not allowed to move into.
Not even for an attack that’s intended for the fighter to land into Chinese territory afterward.

I only now became aware of the existence of this thread!  Would have been nice if you had posted something to that effect in the previous FAQ thread, IL.

Just checked through the whole thread and I saw a question similar to this, but not quite answered.

If either Germany or Italy, but not both, declares war on the USSR and on the next Russian turn, the Russians have the ability to attack a territory owned by the power they are at war with, but is occupied with units belonging to both Germany and Italy, are they allowed to make the attack?  If so, do both the Axis players defend, which allows the Russians to kill units belonging to a power they are not at war with?  These cases are covered pretty well for situations at sea, but not on land.  I’m not interested in why this situation would be allowed to occur (clearly the Russians would just solve everything by issuing a DoW on the other power), just do the rules allow for this to be possible and if so, what happens.

The only attacks where units belonging to a potential defending power are going to be in naval combat as seazones aren’t controlled, only occupied.  That’s why units at war with each other can occupy the same seazone under various instances.

Territory combat is different: all units defend in a territory, and you cannot attack a territory that contains a unit belonging to a power that you’re not at war with, even if there are other units there that you are at war with.

I don’t see anything in the rules that says this would be the case.  A hostile territory is defined as being owned by a power with which you are at war.  The definition of combat movement says I can move into any hostile territory.  I can’t find any exceptions for hostile territory being co-occupied by neutral powers, which is why I am asking.

Axis and Allies Pacific page 18 sidebar.

2nd edition Europe manual page 15 sidebar, first sentence under “combat”
“a power can’t attack a territory controlled by or containing units belonging to a power with which it is not at war.”

It is also on page 15 of the “1st edition” Europe manual.

Does that include SBR?  For instance, if Japan is not at war with UK, can they SBR moscow if there is a British fighter there or must they declare war first?

Well, an SBR is an attack…

OK thought so, just checking

Can i clear a SZ with planes (there is a TT and a DD in the SZ) and NCM my fleet through this SZ to another one?

I saw this in a Tripple A match i followed on the forum.

Is this a legal move? Tripple A will let you do this.

Yes, it’s legal. As long as the attacked SZ is cleared (or only has submarines and/or transports ) ships that didn’t move during combat movement can NCM into and/or through this SZ.

Yes absolutely.  You are always allowed to move ground or sea units (that weren’t moved or used in the combat phase) through or into newly conquered territories or nonhostile seazones (subs and transports don’t make a seazone hostile) during the noncombat phase.

Ground units too? So i can move a tank trough a newly conquered territory? Of fortify a territory i just conquered?

absolutely.  Which can be used very strategically, for example holding holding mech or tanks back from attacking so that they can drive through to reach another newly conquered territory that they couldn’t reach before.  This is a common move in A&A50 with Germany’s first turn, leaving tanks out of the combat in poland so that they can drive thru the baltic states to reinforce a newly captured karelia during the noncom of G1.

Yeah, I was surprised when I found that out, too, orania (couple years ago on this site)
They’re telling you right
