India is split in two between the Europe and Pacific board.  W. India (I think that is what it is called) is on the Europe board but counts for the UK Pacific income, correct?

No.  All of the territories on the Europe board count for Europe income, and all of the territories on the Pacific board count for Pacific income.

Italy and Russia both have NOs that talk about warships in the Med. or sz 125 respectively.  What exactly is the definition of a warship?  Does this include subs or transports?

A warship is any sea unit that has either an attack or defense value, in other words anything but a transport.

If UK Europe falls, can UK Pacific "liberate" any of the territories on the Europe board and then collect that income?  I mean if the US liberates a UK Europe territory while London is captured, it gets the income.  I would think UK Pacific should be able to 'liberate' and collect UK Europe income too.

No.  There is no such thing as "UK Europe units" or "UK Pacific units".  They're all just UK units.  If they liberate a territory, its control goes back to its original economy, even if its capital is held by the enemy.

I found that if I advanced along a broad front in Bulge, I only needed to get to the middle of the board and I had my 24 points before the allies started using their planes.

Maybe I didn't give the game enough of a chance.

I'd give it another chance, as this is a great game.  The Allies have a bit of a learning curve.

Pacific over at Days of Infamy was bid w/ Victory points, not money.  They were bidding b/n 26 and 27 VPs, if I remember right.

Eventually this was changed to a fixed victory condition of 24 VPs for Japan and an IPC bid for the Allies, which generally went to India.

question 1- when a submarine gets a hit on its surprise strike..does the defender still get there casualty shot?

Only if it's a sub and the attacker has no destroyer.

part2-can sea units(not destroyers)attack getting at least one shot on a sub before it submerges?

No.

question2 -can UK collect the ten ipc bonus income for both europe's side and pacific's side?(as long as they meet requrements)? 

NO IPCs go to the UK's Europe economy.

The official setup is still the one in the FAQ.  I don't think you'll have any trouble playing a global game with it, as conditions in the global game are different than in the Pacific game.  However, if you want to play with Larry's latest playtest setup, it can be found at the bottom of this thread.  If you try it, come on over to Larry's site and let us know how it went.

Welcome, Madmaxtiger!

You must declare war before making any combat movments.  If you don't declare war, you may move your transports to sea zone 36 (in noncombat movement).  As Trackmagic pointed out, powers not at war may share a sea zone.  However, if you do declare war, you can't move the transports there by themselves.  You can't move transports alone into a combat situation, as they have no attack value.

By the way any idea when the FAQ may be ready?

Not yet.

[Europe]

In our game, UK Pacific started to march troops west to get the troops and income in pro-Allied Persia. Persia is located on the European board though.  Who gets this income?

Europe.

Also, a question on the UK NO's.  While it didn't state it in the rule book, we agreed that the NO regarding all German subs cleared from the board should go to UK Europe.  How about the other NO.  It requires the UK (and I think ANZAC) to own all original territories.  Is it my choice to split that NO income as I see fit?  This can matter since UK Europe and UK Pacific income is kept separate.  If I can choose, could I split it, say, three ipc to Europe and two to Pacific? 

From page 34 of the Rulebook: "The United Kingdom’s objective is “The British Empire”—to retain control of
its old centers of power.  To reflect this objective, the United Kingdom Europe economy (see Global United Kingdom Rules, pg. 32) collects bonus IPC income during each of its Collect Income phases in the following situations."

So is Iceland considered part of Europe (for game play)? The rules specifically call out England and Scotland, but not Iceland. I thought sz123 was legal. Sorry if this was answered already.  

Yes, Iceland is part of Europe.

Keplar galvin is correct.

Arminius Germanicus is correct.  Pro-Allies neutral is still neutral.

[Official]

I was under the impression that there was an Official revision which included some altering of Naval Bases and ICs in NZ/Australia... Is this accurate? If so can you please list them here when you have the time.

Add an airbase and a naval base to the Philippines, remove the minor industrial complex from New Zealand, and replace the major industrial complex in New South Wales with a minor one.

The FAQ set up you are referring to is the one for AAP40, correct?

Yes.

Global seems balanced with the FAQ setup at this time.

No.

It needs to be upgraded.  This only happens in the global game, by the way.

By all accounts, J2 and J3 attacks are balanced with the FAQ setup.
