French Navy restricted movement?

Ah yes I was stuck on 9.23, forgot that it is covered specifically. Thanks.

@theveteran
Good additions 👍🏼

@theveteran I wasn’t sure in the rules if it meant just Asian territories or all of them when it becomes Vichy

@theveteran No problem.

Ok, now back to mountainous borders. I’m not saying terrain is magically flat if it is friendly. The way you can be certain that I don’t believe that is to scroll back and read where I said if the armor were in Northern Italy and moving through a friendly Southern France, it would not be allowed to continue on to Aquitaine the same turn.

I’m saying that when a land zone is friendly, then border terrain doesn’t start affecting you until the moment you cross the border. And the river rules give a hint that my perspective may be the correct one.

Sidenote on Game Design: There are two ways game designers can approach movement costs: walls or quicksand. With the walls approach, you are not permitted to move unless you have sufficient movement. If I understand Global War’s system, it is a quicksand one. You are allowed to go in, but then get penalized and stuck. This is the way I conceptualize it. I may be wrong, but I know Morten’s approach in general is to give the player choices with consequences. Other game designers forbid players from doing things.

@fdr said in Combat movement question?:

do they have the ability to leave that sea zone without any combat occurring or does England stop them in combat?

Yes, as per .5

Or is there a way that Germany with the intention of war, can avoid that navy yet strike with that same force on the same turn?

Apparently You combat move out of the zone, then declare war.

@noneshallpass Thanks for the quick response!

Oh no, not confusing at all. Was truly just an assumption made haha. But you are right that there are very specific movement rules from A&A Global. I’m sure that at least in part colored my assumptions.

I can’t disagree with what your argument here. You could make a case for just about every single unit on the board that it shouldn’t be allowed until a certain date. However, to make the game playable without having to refer to a reference sheet or rule book with every single move you make, it has been simplified somewhat for ease of play.

A number of units have been singled out and for the most part separated from the regular units and put on the tech chart. Tanks were also singled out and had a date affixed for the obvious reason that they are so powerful with their ability to blitz. Players are welcome to create house rules to make it more complicated or less complicated to match their liking.
