Bridging question

@panther

Thank you for responding! Sorry.

Bridging works just the same as any other transport move. The only difference is that the transports do not leave the seazone.

So for transports in a turn you can on either the combat or non-combat movement phase:

A) all units are from the same power:

Optional: move your transport load 1 or 2 units (out which at least 1 is an INF) from 1 or more adjacent land areas in a friendly SZ Optional: move your transport Optional: in case in step 2 you loaded only 1 unit, load a second unit (again if you have 2 units at least 1 needs to be an INF) in a friendly SZ Optional: move your transport (end in friendly SZ) Optional: unload units into 1 hostile area (amphibious assault) or 1 friendly area (non-combat reinforcement).
Note in all the movements the transport can not exceed the maximum number of movements it has (so standard 2, when departing from a friendly harbor 3).

Note the transport movement is completely optional so bridging occurs when you don’t move the transports at all.
You can only use a transport once per turn, so you can’t do an amphibious landing and in the same turn reinforce the land area using the same transport. Obviously you can reinforce it using a different transport.

B) When the transport belongs to a different power:

On your turn load the units into the transport _Optional_On the other powers turn move the transport On your next turn unload into an area.

Note you will always have to wait one turn when loading and unloading using a different powers transports. So even when the transports don’t move you can not load and unload on the same turn using a different powers transports.

No, you can’t do that.

@rulebook:

…
If your side (but not necessarily your power) controlled a canal or narrow strait at the start of your turn, you may move
sea units through it (you can’t use it in the same turn that you capture it).
…

HTH :-)

You can ignore the subs, but if Japan scrambles a fighter the subs can fight in the sea battle.

Ah, I recognize that philosophy:  “There are few submarine problems that can’t be resolved with a suitable application of depth charges”.

No, unless it must attack Allied units to do so.

House rule:  Submarines fire at 2 on defense if there is no enemy destroyer present…?

Thanks, thats what i thought. Although i had some daughts about Yugoslavia.
