ah i noticed something also…  Don’t know if its worth mentioning. But ALL US NO’s apply when its at war. Now it looks like only the uppermost NO applies when at war.

Sorry :/ Btw you are awsome :p

Awsome dude! very VERY much appreciated!!! :-D

question of my own concerning firststrike subs:

It states in the europe manual that:

attacking subs roll and if hit defending player places sea casualties behind casualty strip.

Then each defendingsub conducts surprise strike. attacker chooses 1 sea unit for each hit and removes it from game.

The last step is that each casualty is then removed from play.

So… Does this mean then that the defender while rolling for 1’s with the dice does have one advantage… namely that a defending sub which was HIT and put behind the casualty strip may FIRE a surprise attack back before its put out of play?

To illustrate using the rules observerd in the manual:

attacker: 2 subs, 1 cruiser

defender 1 sub, 1 cruiser

attacker declares both subs use surprise strike. Defender declares surprise strike.

attacker rolls: 1 and a 3
defender moves sub behind casualty strip
defending “hit” sub rolls a 1
attacker removes 1 sub out of play and then the last step all players remove casualties out of play (the remaining defending sub).

now normal combat starts between the cruisers (they both miss) and next combat turn the last sub utilizes its first strike killing the cruiser. no defendingsubs annymore so casualties are removed.

Is this correct?

No that is not legal.

It can only scramble against an attacking fleet in SZ6 or it can scramble against an amphibious assualt on japan and/or korea.

The UK on the other hand is adjacent/adjoining to 2 seazones.

Your the best  :-D My first game of Global will commence tommorow at noon and I will be playing by the latest freaking official rulings most likely to be definitive ruling!!! All because of you! thanks!

Now to score some laminating thingies.

@nimitz1:

Allied Factories in Asia?.  Where in eastern Asia can the Allies build a factory?  I ask since my understanding of the rules is that if the US/UK/Anzac forces “liberate” a Japanese held chinese territory (especially one with a japanese factory), that territory reverts back to China (right?).  So how can the allies take advantage of “chinese” land territories where japanese factories exist?  and if they cant, can they opt to destroy the factory if there is a risk of the territory being taken back by the japanese?  Thanks.

Asia is not just merely China. As I understand it: Any factories on japanese occupied china territories that contain a factory (build by japan)  get destroyed when it gets liberated by the allies. Since china territory reverts automatically back to chinese control (since they don’t have a capital) no factories can ever be build on chinese lands by the allies. just naval bases and airbases edit: and these only by the japanese i think they just won’t be destroyed after liberated.

@Sime:

Could someone explain the scrambling rule to me in regard to amphibious assaults?

Does UK now have to assign part of his fleet to battle the fighters and part of his fleet to conduct bombardment (for instance: 1 battleship and 1 cruiser will take on the fighters and 1 battleship will bombard the territory), or do all of the naval ships battle the fighters and any ships remaining after the battle get to bombard, or is it something totally different?

I understand the other part of the scramble rule where it’s fleet on fleet, but I’m a bit confused by the amphibious side of it.

@Krieghund:

As with any sea battle preceding an amphibious assault, all of the ships must battle the fighters.  None may bombard.

Just to avoid any nitpicking. does it matter if the defending player deliberiatly waits to see if the attacker will shore bombard and THEN declares he’s scrambling? Declaring bombardmarmetn is that part of the combat move phase or conduct combat phase?

I can think of people saying: yeah but if you scramble I wouldnt have bombarderd or vice versa. so just to ask does the defender have final say after attacker has declared everything? as it should be i think…

Hehe hey mate. Alpha+2 is finalized. Any chance you can make this one as well before the weekend? :evil: WOULD BE SO FREAKING AWSOME :)

Dude THANKS!

Thanks TwistedAries! For planning to have the alpha+1 made also by tommorow :)

Thats very helpful for my very first global session this saturday. I’ll just print them out and when someday the alpha+2 comes out i’ll make something fancy with them with foam board and stuff :)

THANKS!
