Pretty sure the Calc on this site and the TripleA Calc let you tweak the OOL. I forget how the TripleA one works but the Calc on this site has two text bars below the fields where you input unit quantities. One is for attacker OOL, the other is for defender OOL.
Basic Movement (Blitzing & Retreating) Questions
-
3. Can a tank blitz through an enemy’s neutral territory if the territory has no unts in it?
If the neutral country have been activated on a previous turn and there are no longer any enemy units present in it, you can blitz through it. At that time it functions as enemy land. The key here is activated and no enemy units remaining.
You can’t activate friendly neutrals this way, activation of them can only happen in non-combat and ends your movement.
You can’t blitz through a non-activated enemy neutral or true-neutral territory. Entering them in the combat phase is activating the units present there and therefore stops your movement. -
I have a question, if I attack Yugoslavia G1 from Greater South Germany and 1 inf from Romania, can I, after one round, retreat everyone into Romania?
-
Yes.

I have a good example regarding the “blitzing” of strict neutrals. I asked this question a while back because it came up in a game and was told it was a legal move.
In this game, things were going good for the Axis and Italian forces (including tanks) took Brazil. They wanted to get Central America to control the Panama Canal but there were US warships blocking the path for their transports. There is 1 territory between Brazil and Central America: Columbia which is a strict neutral. However, it has NO standing army units.
Italy takes it’s tanks on Brazil, “blitz’s” Columbia and attacks US forces in Central America.
I asked if this was okay and was told that it was a legal move. Hope this helps. -
You can blitz Pro Neutrals like any other territory. They are enemy controlled, and if they have no units in them, consider them yours.

Only if they’ve previously have activated the standing army (and it had an army) in it. And then it is a non-combat move and you must stop when entering.

I actualluy new the answers to all of these I was trying to answer some questions and prove a point to my group. I’m really suprized how many people really don’t know the blitzing rules. You can blitz an enemy’s neutral if it has no units. The above answer doesn’t make since. “If it has previously have been activated…” would mean it’s not a nuetral any more. Also confusing the issue is many answers talked about non-combat moves and friendly neutrals, when none of that was in the question. Kieghund if you would please provide an official answer. Thanx, and thanx to all who provided input.

You can never go through a pro neutral except in anon-combat move, and then you have to end the move there. (Aircraft can’t land there, though.) You can’t blitz through an enemy neutral because as soon as you enter it you attack it (since you can’t enter it in a noncombat move) and that activates its defensive infantry. I guess theoretically if you attacked it and failed to take it but killed all the infantry you could then blitz through it on a following turn, but that’s about it.

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. Yes. (“No units” includes having no units that will be activated by entering the territory.)
4. They must all retreat to one territory from which at least one attacking land unit entered the contested territory.

yes to 1 2 4 and no to 3
