During Global game start this wkend, we’re @ UK2 now & several Q’s came up, can anyone clarify please?
1) friendly neutrals–-if doing NCM w/land units to take control of friendly neutral, can planes also move into same neutral territory as NCM w/the land units?
2) Industrial Complex— if enemy major IC is downgraded to minor upon capture, (& I can’t find this page in the Rulebook?) can the pwr capturing it upgrade it to a Major on the next “purchase units” round?
3) SZ-125—If Russian NO gets 5ipc for no Axis warships in sz125, is this a convoy loss to Germany/Axis controlled Norway if Russian warship only is in sz125? The way its worded as a “NO for USSR if no Axis is in the sz” makes it seem like a convoy for northern Russia, not the Norway???
4) amphib/bombardment—2 Q’s > Scenarios>>>
a)—if defenseless transport (TT) in sz & attacker has 3-cruisers(CA) & 2-TT’s, can the attacker dedicate 1CA to take out the TT (to make empty the hostile sz of enemy ships) & then allow the other 2CA’s to bombard prior to an amphib landing? Or do all warships have to be in the battle to remove the TT thus preventing their bombardment?
b) same question with defender having 1TT & 1DD ~vs~ attacker having 3CA’s & 2TT’s; do all attacking warships have to battle to clear the sz now that a defending warships is involved (rather than just a defenseless TT) which wouldn’t allow their bombardment, or is the attacker allowed to dedicate just 1-2 cruiser’s for the sz attack, allowing the remaining to bombard prior to amphib?
