We seem to both be quite charmed on offense… Winning pretty much every battle we’re expected to win… hard to keep pace!

So ANZAC just couldn’t resist and had to sucker punch!  There will be a price to pay for that, starting with the offending cruiser in Z33 and the destroyer in Z36 that will accomplish nothing  :-)

Doesn’t the UK destroyer prevent loading in this case since SZ36 is a hostile SZ before Japan’s turn and not as a result of a Japanese DOW?

I stand corrected!  I forgot that UK/ANZ diplomatic relations are coupled, so Japan is indeed at war with UK before J3.  So right, I will not be able to load.

Have a great weekend!

[gamerman01]

That is as fiendish as the German reinforcement of an Italian-taken East Poland, circumventing the intent of the rules!
You can take that as a compliment

Rules intend that you cannot noncom a destroyer into enemy waters and prevent them from loading, but you have found a way to do this.  I wondered why you overlooked the NO for UK and figured the movement of the DD was an oversight of the exception to the loading rule, but no.

You can also build sea units in hostile sea zones and as such you can accomplish the same thing in Europe, mostly in seazone 110. Building a destroyer in that seazone could be problematic depending on the circumstances. However this is a nice way to circumvent the rules. I am interested in trying it out myself  :evil:

I think in sz110 this is not as effective as ships are allowed to leave the sz during Combat move, load elsewhere and return in the same combat move, as UK units can be loaded from several seazones this should not affect UK as it does Japan in the Chinese sea.

@Soulblighter:

You can also build sea units in hostile sea zones and as such you can accomplish the same thing in Europe, mostly in seazone 110. Building a destroyer in that seazone could be problematic depending on the circumstances. However this is a nice way to circumvent the rules. I am interested in trying it out myself  :evil:

I think in sz110 this is not as effective as ships are allowed to leave the sz during Combat move, load elsewhere and return in the same combat move, as UK units can be loaded from several seazones this should not affect UK as it does Japan in the Chinese sea.

Depends entirely on the situation. In one game it actually prevented a player from being able to attack Berlin. Which bought me a turn to setup more defenses and win the game.

You’re right, Soul
Since AA50, at least, the tactic of building a destroyer into an enemy sea zone has had great possibilities for wreaking havoc, especially when the opponent does not anticipate it as a possibility.
