IMPORTANT QUESTION!! READ HERE!!!

The answer to both questions is “no”.

@LT04:

Hi Guys long time no type.  It’s been a wile since I have played this one so I’m knocking out the cobwebs.  You will also have to forgive me since I don’t have the board in front of me.

Let’s say I’m Germany and this is a few turns into the game.  I have my Med. transport and battleship in that inlet by the Caucuses.

The UK has their Destroyer in the SZ adjacent to Italy.  I have my battleship and some fighters based in Italy take out the UK Destroyer.

(Here’s my question)  Can I have my transport pick up troops in the Balkans or Caucuses and land them in North Africa (Germany controlled of course) where the sea battle just took place?

Thanks,

LT

Yes, in non-combat.

A typical situation for this would be Japan trying to bombard the west coast, you have to bring the troops via trn, but you dont want to send more than one inf a turn, assuming you want to do this for multiple turns, you have to load the trn (e.g. with troops from hawai) in the NCM of the turn before you start your attack…

Nice spoof on the windows help feature

It happened a lot in Classic, but in Revised there’s almost always at least two ways to get where you want, usually 3 or 4.  (I think the only stumblers are Egypt/Trans-Jordan and Sinkiang/China.)

One thing to keep in mind about IC.  You normally will want to build an IC for 1 of 2 reasons.

1.  Your income exceeds your build capacity.  This is very common for Japan, they have only 1 IC with a build limit of 8.

2.  Your current IC’s are far from battlefield.  Also very common for Japan as they move farther west in Asia.  This also applies to the US & UK to a lesser degree.  Many US/UK players will place an IC in Sinkiang (US) and/or India (UK) in an effort to slow down Japan’s western advance.

Actually, this was teh thread that started teh whole thing that led to LHTR 1.3.  It was about using friendly ships that were already in an enemy occupied sea zone as fodder for your attack on those enemy ships.

Under the new LHTR that came out of this, the Allies can NOT use those US ships that are already in SZ59 as fodder for a UK attack on the Japan ships in SZ59.

This became the “Multinational Forces on Attack” thread.

no sir, it would only fire if the planes are attacking teh island. it does not protect taskeforces on the open sea =[
