This scenario does not include any destroyers for either side:

I attacked two Japanese Sea Zones. The sea zones were next to one another with one in front of the other. A lone submarine supported by air planes moved through the first enemy occupied sea zone to attack the sea zone behind it and adjacent to it. Other units attacked the front sea zone. The front sea zone battle ended with all enemy units destroyed. The back sea zone battle ended when I decided to retreat my sub and supporting planes.

The question is can the sub retreat or is it stuck in the sea zone where the battle occurred?

From what I read in the rule book (Pacific 1940, Second Edition, page 20, Condition B) it cannot retreat the way it came because the sea zone was not friendly at the beginning of the turn. This indicates that the sub must remain in the sea zone where the battle occurred and has no retreat option (except submerging which does not accomplish the goal of saving the sub from counter attack).

Thanks to all who respond!

I have a question about Russia’s two theatres of war and how they interact.

My scenario is that Russia is not at war with Germany or Italy at the end of Russian turn one.  Then on Japan’s turn one, Japan declares war on UK-Anzac-US-France but not Russia.  Let us move ahead to Russian turn 2.  Germany and Italy still have not DOW’d on Russia, so Russia is still neutral in the European theatre.  Russia on turn two now declares war on Japan.  So on US turn 2, I believe it would be okay for the US to send units to Russia on the Pacific side. They would be in range to fly aircraft to Russian territory.  How far westward can these US units go while Russia is neutral on the Europe side?

Thanks for responses.

I apologize if this subject is answered elsewhere.  If it has been, please point me to those posts.

Thanks Gamer.

Yes I meant 125.  It makes sense that Russia should be able to DOW after being attacked.

Thanks

Well the reason this came up is following Italy’s declaration on Russia and invasion of Russia, Germany did not declare on Russia, but moved forces into formerly Russian territory.  Should Germany get the peacetime NO in that scenario?

Yes germany double dips here.  They get the no for peace but their sub blocks the Russian no.

I am experiencing the above scenario in a game that is on hold till later after Turkey Day.  I am playing Germany and Italy.  I was able to DOW Russia on IT turn 2.  I blitzed a tank from Romania through Eastern Poland and into Baltic States (both countries were void of any Russian unit). On German Turn 3 I am not going to DOW Russia.  I am going to put a warship in SZ 124.  I will move units into Baltic States and Eastern Poland.  I will transport a load of two units into Baltic states from SZ 115 and be able to ignore the Russian cruiser and sub there because Germany is not at war with Russia.  So Germany will get the bonus for not being at War with Russia and Russia will not get a bonus because of an Axis Warship in SZ 124.

In addition on Russia turn three they cannot attack Italian controlled Eastern Poland or Baltic States or the transport in SZ 115 because they cannot DOW Germany until Turn 4.  So does all this ring true?  If so it seems rather odd.  But I would really enjoy being able to give this experience as a present to my Russia opponent.

Thank you for any replies.
