Joint Strike NA quirk

[OutsideLime]

Can UK/US Transports carry each other’s troops during a Joint Strike?  I am asking because there is already a defined system in place for how friendly transports carry each other’s troops, and Joint Strike would seem to nullify that system.

To my knowledge, and experience, yes.  It is like treating all British units as American for that round.  Obviously, Russian units would NOT be included in this.  But yes, An American transport could carry 1 or 2 British units or American units or a combination of both, likewise the British transports.

I would assume so … they act as 1 nation

Join Strike is effective SKIP the UK’s turn (except build and place); Germany goes, UK buys and builds, then Japan.
Then on the USA turn, the USA is able to use any and all US and UK units for Combat Movement, Combat, and Non-Combat Movement.

Then Russia goes, and everythign is back to normal.

I would assume that artillery of one nation cannot support infantry of another nation.

I would assume the opposite.  To me, this NA is just as though you pool all UK and US pieces together “jointly” and do your turn as though they all belong to the US.  UK BB can support US amphibious assaults, etc. etc. etc.

I too would assume that they can support each other.  It is JOINT STRIKE, the effect of which is it is all one big pool of forces tha the US uses to attack with.

All UK/USA units are as if they are green for the turn.

Joint Strike declared.  USA turn.

Even if the unit is UK, any axis territory it occupies will be USA income.  If the USA/UK unit simply liberates a tan territory, the income does not go back to the USA.  It is just tan.

Therefore, any unit used in combination of another unit is expected.  If you were playing multi player, the USA player would declare the losses, including UK unit losses.

(mumbles) the NA says if the USA and UK player can’t decide casualties, the opposing player gets to choose them.  This contradicts what you’re saying; the US can’t unilaterally decide on unit casualties . . .

On reading the description of artillery again, I think probably artillery of one country can support infantry of another country.  Probably.  It isn’t definitive, and implication by omission is not the greatest foundation on which to base a rule, but it works for me.

oops. yes that’s right about the declaration.
