That US IPC question (15 or 17) and IPC trackers

Thanks Midnight_Reaper this clears up the question. (Sorry I didn’t get back sooner, but I actually forgot that I had posted this question.)

Can’t wait!

Personally, I’ m more interested in WW II scenarios, so I don’t know other ‘physical’ WW I-boardgames.
But there is a map called “Great War” covering WW I to be played using the TripleA software.
If interested, learn more about TripleA in the software subforum:

@Private:

And just to clarify yet further - the sub is not flying either! :-D

You obviously didn’t roll as well as I did during the Research phase…

@tsaa:

1:can a battle ship bombard landtroops?

No, offshore bombardment is not part of the 1941 ruleset.

@tsaa:

2:can ships pass between ireland & nothern island? it seems to be a small passage there…

Yes, the seazones 6 and 8 are adjacent.

@tsaa:

3 how do you know where it is allowed to out ships you build? For Russia, can they only put their ships in the north? Germany- can they put new built ships in the meditaranian?

Ships can be placed only in seazones adjacent to territories containing an eligible Industrial Complex. At the beginning of the game Germany for example can place ships only in SZ 6. Russia has no adjacent seazone. SZ 18 next to Caucasus is pointless because you can’t move ships out there.

@tsaa:

4: in sea battle, is it correct the transports only can be destroyed when there is nothing else to “put behind the casualty zone” in other words transport will always be killed last?

Correct. Transports can be chosen as casualties only if there are no other eligible units.

@tsaa:

6: is a destroyer needed to attack a sub only when there is a plane attacking? or can any naval unit attack a sub without the presence of a destroyer?

Planes can hit submarines only when there is a destroyer belonging to the same nation as the plane joining the attack.
Naval units with an attack value don’t need a supporting destroyer.

@tsaa:

7: does subs attack with surprise attack in every round?? I thought it was only before the battle in other words only 1 time…

The surprise strike takes place in every round of combat.

@tsaa:

8: in south amierca, can all ships pass through the canal or only the side that controls the country (is it mexico?)

The side that controls Central America (from the beginning of the turn) may pass through the canal.

HTH :-)

Great, that resolves a long disputed aspect with my gaming group. Thanks for the prompt and helpful reply.

That’s what I thought, but I was hoping I was wrong so I could pick up 3 IPCs in one move.

Thanks!
