Capitol Capturing Confusion

@Krieghund Thanks! (For completeness, I should have been more clear in that Germany controlled Persia at the beginning of its turn in this example. i.e. there was/is a legal landing zone for the fighter)

Thanks Panther, for pointing out the rule’s clarification doc.

Thanks for the response!

There is a house rule somewhere that claims,

Pay 10 IPC to gain a tech that another nation already has developed

Ah, honest mistake, wasn’t looking carefully at the question.

@Anonymous:

So if the battleship moves in to a country

BBs move in sea zones(aka SZs)

that has troops ,but no naval at it, then the battleship can just chill at the shore.

CORRECT

But then if they have an industrial complex there and they buy a new battleship or sub, and they have to place it, are those 2 in immediate battle? Or is it immediate battle once it’s my turn again? Or is there no battle until someone initiates it?

IT DEPENDS ON WHICH RULES VERSION YOU PLAY BY AND/OR WHAT VARIATIONS THE PLAYERS HAVE AGREED TO USE. THE MOST COMMONLY USED RULES(3rd edition) GIVE YOU THE CHOICE(ON YOUR TURN) TO EITHER ENGAGE THE ENEMY OR RETREAT.

What i meant before (to help clarify) was that with the planes you move 2 / attack / then fall back 2. Does a battleship move and do the ‘single shot’ attack and then fall back again? Or does it stay right next to the island it attacked?

YES,HOWEVER, REMEMBER THAT A BB CAN ONLY FIRE ON LAND UNITS WHEN SUPPORTING AN AMPHIBIOUS INVASION (TRANSPORT [TRN] DROPPING OFF INFANTRY[INF] OR ARMOR[ARM].

Key word is the Allied Navy. Now granted that you can pull all available troops in Europe and hit Karelia with a super stack, you still have a good chance of winning even against 18 inf, 3 ARM, 2 ftrs. However, there’s no way that the surviving force can poke through Russia on G2, especially if the Russians have reinforced entirely with inf. This is where the Allied Navy comes in, when you busy building ARM for an invasion force and have to wait for supplementary inf to arrive on time, chances are that UK and USA will be hitting you in Western Europe or Worst Yet(!) Germany itself – game over.

Like japan against russia in normal A&A.
Or Germany against anyone but russia.
