Subs and scramble at amphibious

@barnee Thank you very much Barnee. This is the first time this situation has come up, so we wanted to do it right.

Awesome.  Thanks for the quick reply.

A transport can load units while in any friendly sea zone along its route, including the sea zone it started in. If a transport loads
land units during the Combat Move phase, it must offload those units to attack a hostile territory as part of an amphibious
assault during the Conduct Combat phase, or it must retreat during the sea combat step of the amphibious assault sequence
while attempting to do so. A transport that is part of an amphibious assault must end its movement in a friendly sea zone (or
one that could become friendly as result of sea combat) from which it can conduct the assault. However, a transport is not
allowed to offload land units for an amphibious assault in a sea zone containing 1 or more ignored enemy submarines unless at
least 1 warship belonging to the attacking power is also present in the sea zone at the end of the Combat Move phase.

Page 16, AA Pacific 1940 Rulebook

Battleships, aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and transports move, attack, and defend in sea zones. They
can’t move into territories. For the sake of these rules, the following are surface warships: battleships, carriers, cruisers, and
destroyers. Transports are not warships. Submarines are warships, but they are not surface warships.

This might help clarify.

The rules specifically state on page 34 that UK NO IPCs go to the Europe economy, and there is no provision in the rules for any IPCs to be transferred between the two economies under any circumstances.

Thanks and no they dont complain about scrambling for defence of their own sz. Scrambling has taken some getting used to. They didnt like when I used German fighters in combat and noncombat and landed them in Italy, Then when U.K.attacked Italy in sz 97 I wanted to scramble the German fighters and this what caused confusion. The aircraftcarrier is a good example.

the uk had a mass of ships comming from canada and the uk player slyly hidd 2 transports among them i thought they were just renforcments w/ out transportys. other wise i would have prepared

Oh! So true, I just read rules again… obviously I misread it (and misplayed it) with my boardgames for quite a while

Thank you for the added answer! :)

@SalothSar:

@calvinhobbesliker:

Let’s see, Krieghund has deputized me to clarify rules questions while he was gone. I don’t think he did the same for you.

Salothsar, my posts are more adult-like than yours.

Sure he has

I could ask either Krieghund or gamerman01(who was also deputized) to confirm. Additionally, you can look at the G40 FAQ thread to see how many rules questions I have answered.
