Sea unit non combat move into SZ with hostiles

@smallprint76 said in Is Northern Ireland considered connected to Sea Zone 9?:

@panther

Thanks for your response.

I was kind of coming to the conclusion that Northern Ireland was not connected to SS9 on my own but good to get clarification. Makes sense, due to the way the map is drawn and the fact that you can’t go through neutral territories (Ireland).

Yes, indeed.

Follow on question would then be are N.Ireland and UK considered same game space.

Yes

On board they look like they are almost touching. But assume you can take a ship through Irish straits.

Yes, sea zones 6 and 8 are adjacent.

So do you have to move troops to Northern Ireland using a transport?

No, Northern Ireland is not a separate territory.

And if someone attacked UK would NI units be considered part of battle?

Yes, Northern Ireland is not a separate territory.

@lumeng:

in addition, the size of the units is the same between the 1941,1942 and 1940 versions?

The units in 1941, 1942, and 1940 are all roughly the same size between editions:

US Sherman tank in 1942 and 1940 are the exact same size. US IS-1 tank in 1941 is a little bigger than the US Sherman from 1942 or 1940. All of the US Infantry between 1941, 1942, and 1940 are the same size.

Does this answer your question?

Thank you for the quick info on this. I thought you could, but i just wanted to make sure.

Welcome to the forum, Guitarboo88.

You are right - and your cousin is wrong:

@rulebook:

Air Units
Each air unit that moves in the Combat Move phase must generally reserve
part of its Move value for the Noncombat Move phase, when it must return
to a safe landing place using its remaining movement. See page 23 for
examples.
An air unit’s movement in any complete turn is limited to its total Move
value. For example, a bomber has Move 6, but it cannot move 6 spaces to
end its movement in a hostile space. It must save enough movement points
to get to a friendly territory where it can land. A fighter can move up to its
full Move value of 4 to attack in a sea zone, but only if a carrier could be
there for it to land on by the end of the Mobilize New Units phase.

HTH :-)

Correct, SZ 8 is obviously adjacent to SZ 6. So on G1 - if you want - you can move the German fleet from SZ 5 to SZ 8.

I think “highly prized” will become “quickly forgotten”.

This should be stickied… had to dig to find this, since it’s different than a lot of places say the units are.

Bah just plop some Aircraft carriers with fighters on them and use them as an impregnable fighter base that can only be attacked by other air units.
