Just played a game where the axis attacked turn 1.  It was great for Japan.  But attacking Russia first didn’t work out well.  The weak point was actually Italy.  The US just crushed them.  I think they need a couple turns to get established.  Plus Germany gives up that NO $,  it really made a difference in our game.  Now the German player made a couple tactical errors and with some tweaking might clean up the strategy a little bit but in my opinion it seems like attacking Russia turn 1 is a mistake

I actually think it would be a disadvantage for China to build at a factory.  They can place units on any of their territories anyway.  Why lock yourself into building at a certain territory, just makes it a stable target for Japan.  Plus if it is a major IC they will never build 10 units there and if they do Japan is in some serious trouble and you might as well concede!!

Can Chinese units non combat move into Burma and Kwangtung? And is this considered an act of war allowing Japan to attack UK?

Question about fighters landing on a carrier.  We had a sea battle where the attacker had 4 planes attacking some naval ships.  1 of the planes had enough movement to land back on an island while the other 3 planes had one move left.  The attacker could non combat move a carrier to an adjacent sz.  The dispute arose when one person argued that each plane technically had a place to land not taking into account the capacity of a carrier.  Now i assume the attacker was planning on losing one of the planes in the battle thus not needing a extra space on the carrier, which the defender called a kamikaze attack.  Who was right?

In a game i am playing right now i opted to let Italy take Normandy, so they can build navy directly in the Atlantic.  Makes quite a nice 1-2 punch against allied navy.  Of course you have to seal the Med and take Egypt.  Not sure i would do this with a more experienced US player though.  Playing with a first timer as the US in Global.

If you upgrade a minor IC can you build 10 units at it that turn?

Thanks Calvin that’s how we played it.  For future reference can the transport unload after it retreats from an attempted amphibious assault?

Quick question on amphibious assaults.  UK enters sz 109 with trn dd fig.  German sub is present.  dd and fig miss.  sub hits.  does the trn retreat from the amphibious assault or is it destroyed by the sub.  Thanks!

Thanks for the answer Krieg!  I guess the best solution would be for the UK player to stop whining and build some Navy and kill the Italian fleet!

Quick question about convoy disruptions.  I played a game over the weekend and the UK player was very upset that he got convoy disrupted on newly captured territories.  He was trading control of Egypt with Italy and since Italy’s navy was on the opposite side of the canal in the disruption zone every time he took Egypt he lost 3 IPC’s instead of gaining the 2 for Egypt.  First, were we correct in being able to convoy disrupt the newly captured territory and second what is the reasoning behind that.  Thanks!

Great Job everybody!  The wealth of knowledge here is amazing.  I am getting ready to have my first global game this Saturday and had a couple questions.  I can’t waste any more time at work looking to see if they have been asked yet so i apologize if i am redundant.

1.  Are convoy disruption considered an act of war?  ex. can Japan have ships hanging out by borneo without having to be at war with UK.

2.  If a fighter uses all of its movement to participate in a sea battle with the intention of landing on a participating carrier can it then retreat with the carrier to another sz?  What if the carrier does not fight in the battle, can it retreat to the carrier?

3.  For the ANZAC one time NO for occupying an originally controlled Japanese territory does the chinese territories that japan starts with count? (i guess this is an AAP40 question sorry)

Thanks alot!  hopefully the answers to these will help prevent fisticuffs i mean issues Sat night.
