The reason that it can’t offload more than once is that if it did so during combat movement it would be involved, though indirectly, in multiple combats. This would require complicated rules, as there would be cases where it could be done and cases where it could not be done. Transport movement is already complicated enough without adding more exceptions, so it was decided that a transport’s movement would end once it offloads, period, no exceptions. It was felt that any flexibility added by allowing multiple offloads wasn’t worth adding more complication to transport rules.
Ceding controlled territories to Friendly Powers

Hello, new to the Forums but have a question about controlled territories.
This scenario came up in a recent game. Japan had taken India and most of Russia and was trying to take Moscow, while Germany had lost France and needed to divert money to protecting its capital. The German player wanted to give control of Caucasus to the Japanese player since he could build more units there. We argued about it for a while, but couldn’t find anything in the rulebook addressing whether you can give up an enemy territory you are controlling to a friendly power.
Is there something in the rulebook we missed?

Im at work so no rulebook.
You cannot give away territories. German would have to lose the territory to the allies, then japan could fight for control. -
Bob77 is correct. Territories can only be captured or liberated.

That makes sense, thanks a lot.
