I agree with Simon about the use of US transports in the Pacific. You wipe out the Japanese navy and take back the islands and the mainland. Shuck your troops to Europe and take out Germany and Italy. Japan will be forced to surrender. You know, just like WW2. Unless the Japanese player has been smoking crack you will spend all day assaulting Tokyo while Germany makes mincemeat out of Russia and the UK.
Is the Italian NO stopped by transports in the med?
-
If the allies have JUST transports in the med, is the italian NO prevented?
-
No. Surely rules say ships have to have an attack value.

the rules only state this
5 IPCs if there are no Allied surface warships in the Mediterranean Sea (sea zones 92 through 99). Theme: Propaganda and strategic advantage.
As far to my concern they can stop the NO… As they can easily be picked up by axis planes or ships.
-
Transports are not part of the group called warships. Sorry! So do not stop italy’s NO.
-
Transports are the only ship that do not stop the NO. Even a Sub and an empty Carrier do.
-
I don’t think a submarine classifies as a SURFACE warship.
-
Subs and transports don’t stop it.
-Subs can get in even if Italy owns Gibraltar/Suez.
-
Blame the booze. Of course a Sub does not count.
-
Subs can only enter the Med via Gib, not Suez.
-
subs make it too ez to stop the NO
-
transports do not count as warships
