    Combat Hit Differential Summary :


  • @GeneralDisarray I didn’t look at your ANZAC moves until now, and I think we’re going to need to have a rules conversation. Are you under the impression that I am not allowed to move my units if Japan declares on ANZAC? Somewhat similar to a sneaky Karl?

    I’m not entirely sure as to what the rule is, and I’ve been trying to find an answer and I found this in an old sneaky karl thread: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/34014/the-sneaky-carl/19

    " Once a state of war is entered into, all
    territories and sea zones controlled by or containing
    units belonging to the power or powers on which you
    declared war instantly become hostile to your units,
    and the normal restrictions of moving into or through
    hostile spaces apply, with one exception. During
    your Combat Move phase in which you entered into
    a state of war, your transports that are already in sea
    zones that have just become hostile may be loaded in
    those sea zones (but not in other hostile sea zones).
    In effect, transports may be loaded in their initial
    sea zones for amphibious assaults before war is
    declared, while the sea zone is still friendly."

    The Pripet Martian asks:
    Just to clarify, does this mean that:

    A) Transports can load, leave the sea zone in combat movement to avoid participation in the attack, end their movement in a friendly sea zone and offload.
    B) Transports leaving a sea zone in combat movement to avoid participation in the attack cannot load.
    C) Transports leaving a sea zone in combat movement to avoid participation in the attack may load first, but may only offload in an amphibious assault.
    D) Another possible scenario I’ve overlooked?

    Panther’s answers to the above:
    A: No. Loading a transport during Combat Move Phase is only possible when it prepares an amphibious assault during that same turn.
    B: No, They can load, but only for an amphibious assault during the same turn.
    C : Almost. In case they load they must offload for an amphibious assault.
    D : They can leave unloaded, too, and in that case can end their movement in a friendly sea zone.

    So if I am understanding this correctly (feel free to correct me, or bring in a rules expert to help us) I am allowed to load, my TT’s, and move them for an amphib assault elsewhere. What do you think?

    I will most certainly allow you to edit your anzac turn if this is the case.

    @Daaras This is a rule I was told that stands in the 20 years I have been playing because of the wording in the rules. And not because some player says otherwise. You cannot participate in an amphibious assault after creating and leaving a hostile sea zone. Now you can pick up and drop if you do not leave the sea zone. But because my boats are there and you declare war it becomes a hostile sea zone. Even you read the rule out in your message. Can’t tell how many time I’ve been stumped by this rule. If you wish to move your units differently not being at war beside with France then you are welcome to. I am welcome to hear gammerman’s opinion on this not some random players.


  • @GeneralDisarray I’ll tag him and ask. I don’t really care what the rule is, I just want to get it correct.

    @gamerman01 can you help up with this rules situation?

  • Hi guys, thanks for bringing me in,

    Panther is an official Q&A man, too, and his answers A, B, C, D all look correct to me.

    My goal is to answer the rulebook questions you have, so I may not explain every angle unless you ask follow up questions.
    I need to say I am not sure what GeneralDisarray meant, at times, like with the phrase “creating and leaving a hostile zone”, so I am not really responding to everything you each have said but I think my answers will take care of your needs.


    I am using the Europe 2nd edition rulebook and I think Daaras posted 2nd edition Pacific which is fine, same rules, but my page number won’t coincide.


    The end of page 13 and beginning of page 14 covers “sea units starting in enemy-occupied sea zones”.

    The page 12 blue box explains how to apply this rule when you first declare war.

    I’ll just try to clearly apply these rules to your situation here, and if you have additional questions I’d be happy to help.

    I see GeneralDisarray moved an ANZ cruiser to New Hebrides and a destroyer to Paulau/Carolines. In each of these zones, Japan has ground units on islands and none on transports.

    This creates issues for Japan.
    Of course if Japan does not declare war J2, then the ANZ ships are neutral, not at war, and have no effect.

    But of course the question is if Japan declares war against UK/ANZAC on J2, what are the effects of these ANZ ships.

    The Page 12 rules apply since Japan is declaring war. “During your Combat Move phase in which you entered into a state of war, your transports that are already in sea zones that have just become hostile may be loaded in those sea zones (but not in other hostile sea zones). In effect, transports may be loaded in their initial sea zones for amphibious assaults before war is declared, while the sea zone is friendly.”

    So, the rule page that Daaras posted.

    Cruisers act as transports in PtV.

    So in each of the sea zones ANZ intruded upon, you have the same situation for Japan if Japan declares war on UK/ANZ

    (Bullet points on page 14) These are Japan’s choices:

    1. Stay in the zone and conduct combat
    2. Leave zone, load units if desired, conduct combat elsewhere
    3. Leave zone, to load units or to establish a retreat route, return to zone and conduct combat
    4. Leave zone and don’t conduct combat

    Then you add in the rule for a new DOW,
    Japan can load ground units in the zone, which is normally not allowed, but only for amphibious assaults.
    The other 4 bullet points of page 14 still apply.


  • I should mention that “evil sneaky Karl move” is most likely the notorious loophole in the rules.
    This does NOT apply in your situation here.

    Because the political status of UK is married to ANZ, then there is the loophole that the UK could sail a surface warship into a Japanese fleet that is clearly looking to load up a huge army onto multiple transports and go take over lots of territory. Then ANZ does the unprovoked declaration of war on Japan, so when we get to poor Japan’s turn, she is not allowed to use the page 12 rule of loading transports for amphibious assault when you’ve just declared war on a power, because she can’t declare war on the UK. Thanks to ANZ, the UK/ANZ was already at war with Japan when we came to Japan’s turn, so Japan can’t declare war on UK/ANZ and the page 12 rule won’t apply.
    It is unfortunate, but if both players understand this rule, it can be dealt with. #1 There are serious ramifications to an unprovoked DOW on Japan, especially early.
    #2 Japan could leave some ground units on the tranports.

    Again, I only mention this “loophole” in case it is contributing at all to the confusion.
    There was no UK involvement like this and no ANZ DOW in your game

    Lastly, because I think it may help and possibly be appreciated, I’ll state it in a negative way.

    What harm did the cold, calculating veteran GeneralDisarray cause?

    IF Japan declares war on UK/ANZ, then

    1. Japan can’t noncombat move any of the ground units on Carolines or New Hebrides. To get the marine off New Hebrides this turn, Japan has to amphibiously assault some other enemy island
    2. Japan can’t use transports to noncombat move OTHER ground units, for example, Japan can’t transport any ground from Japan to Korea, Manchuria, or any of the other friendly territories up there
    3. Japan has to move all ships in the enemy zones to destination zones without seeing combat results (where destination could include the starting, hostile, zone)

    But…
    Japan can still fully load up all 3 transports with Carolines army and go take Allied territories.

    Any remaining questions, please give me a chance to clear them up, have fun guys


  • @gamerman01 Alright, thank you sir!

    I’m going to let him make some edits, because his moves clearly show the intent of not letting my amphibious assault elsewhere. I don’t want to pillage Sydney because of a silly rule like this.

    @Daaras Its my fault for not knowing the rules I suppose. I have been stopped a few times like this and it’s frustrating. Not knowing this rule I would have done America differently as well. You can take this game as well for that as it would seemingly be too much to unwind. Gg glad I learned something. I’ll post it up soon.


  • @GeneralDisarray I don’t mind if you want to edit back to USA1. I like to play the game, not have things like this ruin it. I’d also be fine if you wanted to post it and unwind from usa1. I’m not malicious, lets just have some fun.


  • @GeneralDisarray I hope you’ll reconsider giving up the game, and go back to US1


  • @gamerman01 Both generous so I will continue. That said if you did not know the rules and asked to stay loaded up on your tt instead I am not sure I would have extended the courtesy nor has it ever been extended to me. Fight on appreciate the pass.


  • @GeneralDisarray @gamerman01 This is something I wish the League would be better about. We don’t need to be so brutal and cutthroat.

    I am very in favor, of what I would call “Obvious Edits”. Your moves clearly indicated that you were under the impression that I couldn’t move. If I’m going to win, I want it to be from better strategy/tactics. Not a misunderstood rule, or a simple oversight. i.e. missing a blocker or getting a capital killed when you can easily prevent it, etc
