Thanks, I’ll have to read the instructions again.  Now that I have played a little bit they may make more sense to me.

Hi Guys,
I’m new to the game having been introduced to it by my two sons.  They love kicking the old guy around.  Fun game, we are really looking forward to AA40Europe.
Here is my question, my youngest is Japan and on j1 he saturated the sea zone (sz) around Hawaii and Midway with his navy.  I suspect he wants to move this force to the U.S. west coast on j2 and then declare war and attack.  I have a ship in the same sz that he now currently occupies.  Can he move his forces out of their current location and then attack or does he have to declare first, duke it out with my lonely destroyer and then move to the mainland on j3?
Hope this isn’t too convoluted.
Thanks
