As Simon says you can’t move any of your ships in that sea zone on NCM. There is a provision that allows you to move them to flee the sea zone on the Combat Movement phase without taking them into combat. The real purpose of the move though is to prevent any transports in the sea zone from loading ground units in that sea zone. You can still move to another sea zone on Combat Move and load ground units as long as it is a friendly sea zone. If you haven’t seen the video it explains everything;

Couple games I’ve played the AI on trip A I’ve loaded up the French inf from London and Egypt onto UK/US transports and brought them to Europe so they could liberate Paris.

I’d be lying if I haven’t watched an unhealthy amount of GHG and YG videos by the way.
I dunno, it seems like some sort of evil plot for Canada to take-over the entire Axis and Allies community… I think they’re still upset about Dieppe and trying to get revenge or something.

We’re insidious. We lure you in with our soothing voices and sick ability to play with little plastic army men on the internet. Then we break your now defenceless hearts by leaving you for a sweet talking woman with a tricked out Trivial Pursuit board that yields more questions than answers. I can’t speak for YG, but I can hardly look at myself in the mirror.

Canada? Is that on the map too? I can remedy that.

If you go back far enough you can rename it British North America.

Real Geography;
Minnesota AKA “Lower Canada”
Upper Peninsula Michigan AKA “Oldfoundland”
Oklahoma AKA “North Texas”
Texas AKA “North Mexico”

Actually back when it was British North America, Quebec was known as Lower Canada. Ontario was Upper Canada because they were further up the St. Lawrence River. That was back when we were burning down your capital. Fun fact; the reason it is the “White House” is because you couldn’t afford paint after we burned down the original building so all you did was whitewash the new one. The name White House stuck after that. Due to the ominous nature of the Rhode Island Navy we would never be able to pull that off now. You could paint it pretty much whatever colour you want now and there’s nothing we could do about it.

On a more serious note, maybe the most pissed, dramatic long-range naval move I’ve seen was a bounce of the entire US Pac fleet from dispersal position in the PAC, to Hawaii to Gib via a harbor in Panama.
Now that isn’t a globe trotting movement, but in terms of force position, it’s an eye opener.
Also, one of my favorites, the German stack in pursuit of the Allies after fall of Moscow does a left turn and takes out India.
Otherwise, there are all sorts of little units that zip around the board to little consequence. French fighter from UK in Australia? Who cares… 8-)

Had a game one time with some early bloodshed in the Middle East that allowed an Anzac infantry to walk into Iraq or Persia. I begged my opponent to build an IC there.

Soviets taking French Indo China has happened a few times.

The ANZAC fleet sometimes does crazy things like head to S. America, followed by a journey to Africa, heading up to the Middle East, and then concluding the backwards-Magellan ~9 round expedition in Queensland.

Heck, I’ve seen the little ANZAC fellas penetrate deep into the USSR, as in Timguska deep.

Haha waiting for the obligatory “Totally had Japanese infantry in Iceland one time online.”
“And the game wasn’t over yet?”

Wish I had something.

French infantries liberating China! :-D
Not one of my games, but I think I’ve seen that on the forum.

One of the funnier things I’ve seen in a game is Japan controlling Paris along with Italy controlling London. As for Germany… It had pushed into China and had about half of it.
We didn’t know what happened, but it was funny.
A few other things I’ve seen
- Germany had Sydney
- Italy had Washington DC without Africa
- Japanese Sub by the West Indies
- US Marine unit made it to Paris by going through Russia(He walked there)
- Russian sub Circumnavigated the Globe and returned to SZ 127

I once had a game where ANZAC forces managed to take Greece and Yugoslavia from the Germans. That was a weird game. The US Navy had sunk all the Japanese Navy and had Japan cornered on their island. However, Japan was still really strong on the mainland. Calcutta was in Japanese hands as was all of China. However, all the islands were in Allied hands.
UK and France, which had been liberated and had a fairly strong army, were putting pressure on Germany, Italy was out of the game but had a couple of planes and a few men in Berlin, while the Germans were pressuring Russia. Moscow had held out but barely since most of their territory outside of Moscow was in Axis hands.
If I remember right, the Allies finally won when the US put together an invasion force and took Denmark, allowing a UK invasion force to slip in and take Germany. France attacked the strong German force in West Germany and while they didn’t win, they weakened it enough that it couldn’t retake Berlin.
All those tanks in Russia couldn’t get back to Germany in time and Moscow got a break. After that, the Allies finished off the Germans and went around Asia mopping up the Japanese forces. Between convoy raids and SBRs, Japan wasn’t making nearly as much as they should have been with all that Asian territory so they couldn’t keep up with the steadily increasing Allied wall that marched across the board. -
How long did that game last knp7765? Sounds like about a 6-week game with that description! lolz
