Yes.
Rules question: help needed!
-
Just had a game A&AP today and the following question came up:
First quote from the rulebook:
“A transport that starts a turn with enemy ships in the same sea zone may not load or unload in that sea zone, UNLESS AN AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT IS BEING MADE.”What exactly does this mean?
Situation 1:
Lets assume the US sub in SZ38 survived the Japanese first round combat by submerging; Phillipines itself are conquered by Japan. The US player decided to stay in SZ38 with the sub. Is the Japanese player allowed to load 2 troops in SZ38 from Phillipines to make an Ampibious Assault -for example - in SZ44 against Borneo (different sea zone!)?Situation 2:
Lets assume there is an UK sub in SZ27 amongst some Japanese ships including transports. New Britain is occupied by Japan, but New Guinea is still Dutch. Are the Japanese transports allowed to pick up some troops from New Britain and unload them in New Guinea (the same sea zone!) to make an Amphibious Assault there? -
Situation 1: No, transports may never load in the same sea zone as an enemy unit. The rule book should be read to mean that units can only unload from a transport if an amphibious assault is occuring and only if the naval battle preceding the amphibious assault is won by the attacking force.
Situation 2: No. Again, a transport can never load while in the same sea zone as an enemy unit.

Ah got it…thx.
The phrase “may not load” does not refer to the part with “unless…”! Thx, Saburo Sakai!!
