@Imperious-Leader Indeed, that is an official boardgame rule. Page 13:
“A tank can “blitz” by moving through an unoccupied hostile territory as the first part of a move that can end in a friendly
or hostile territory. The complete move must occur during the Combat Move phase. The tank establishes control of the first territory before it moves to the next. Place your control marker on the first territory and adjust the national production levels asyou blitz. A tank that encounters enemy units, including antiaircraft artillery units or an industrial complex, in the first territory it enters must stop there.”
Can ships move 1 space then attack or do they have to start their turn adjacent?

I know land units have to start adjacent to their assault target before they attack (with the exception of air units and blitzing tanks); are attacking ships the same way or not? For example can a battleship start nonadjacent to it’s target, move 1 which makes it adjacent and then attack?
Similarly, during an amphibious assault can a loaded transport move 1 (or even 2) spaced uncontested into the coastal sea zone it’ll unload from and then proceed to unload/assault?
I’m a beginner and I’m playing Spring 1942 and it’s awesome…thanks!

You may be confused on where combat occurs. During the combat Move Phase units that end their move IN an enemy territory with enemy units conduct a combat in that territory. In your case, in the Combat Move Phase, sea units can move up to 2 spaces and end their turn in a sea region with enemy ships. This is the only way to conduct combat. You cannot attack from an adjacent space, you have to move INTO a space containing enemy units to conduct combat.
Hope this helps.

It has, thanks! But to clarify a bit further, for amphibious assaults, does the unloading into hostile coastal territory count as one of the transport’s 2 moves or no because the transport technically ‘stops at the border’ and can’t end it’s turn on land? ,……after this last question get’s clarified i’m a pro in this area of the game lol

Hi Jaxrealm. Unloading a Transport ends its turn.
It can, of course, move up to two Sea Zones prior to unloading.
Hope that helps.
Have fun. -
And the transport never ends up on a territory. Just in the seazone adjacent to the territory you’re dumping units into.
