SHort Question

Thank you for the clarification. :)

@calvinhobbesliker:

@Mysterious:

Are Cruisers able to bombard without the presence of a Battleship?

Yes

thanks, the Rule book makes it confusing; it implies you have to use the buddy system with its ridiculous examples.

@gMonty:

Do air unit moves include from island/coastal territory to neighbouring sea zone? Or is this a +0 move?

It costs one movement point to cross any boundary, including from an island to its surrounding sea zone or vice versa.

@gMonty:

Can land units (with move 1) load onto and off a transport in a single movement phase?
i.e. does loading and unloading count as a move?

Yes.  Loading and/or unloading uses a land unit’s entire movement, whether it can move one or two spaces normally.  It can load, unload, or both, but it can’t move before or after doing so.

This is my first post in this very excellent forum.

My question is :
Is the kamikaze attack a defensive attack ?
As far as I read the rules the attack must be announced right after the Allies have moved surface ships ( not transports ) into a seazone with a kamikaze symbol.

One of my friends thinks it has to happen on japans turn since it is an attack.

If I am right does this mean that u can use the japanese kamikaze attack in a navalbattle where you are attacked ?

kamikaze is a result allied movement into one of the marked kamikaze zones.  it takes place on the allies turn.  as long as the criteria is met……

In case of an allies capital being captured: (Correct me if I’m wrong)
Say The Gilbert Isles are in Jap hands, along with India (UK capital). If the US liberates Gilbert, then on the US next turn (If India has not been liberated) the US can place an AB/NB there. Gilbert would (temporarily) belong to the US. If India (UK capital) is liberated, Gilbert and its new base would go back to UK. It would be the same for tt that are eligible for IC’s (say Kwangtung).

i agree with u…im sure Krieghund will add that to the eratta

+1 to u sir

Does that mean it’s thinkable (I know it’s not logical, smart, wise and/or strategic at all) that UK & ANZAC are not going to war during the hole game?? When USA attacks, Japan can retaliate without provoking UK & ANZAC . Correct?
