Thank you! I just wanted to let you know of my progress. I certainly tried to do all of that in earlier games, but for one reason or another, it didn’t work well enough to net an Axis win.
Tank blitzing etc.
-
hello,
i have one question regarding tanks and blitzing.
is it possible for a tank to move as a combat-move into an empty territory one step and use the another step to go into a friendly territory in the non-combat-movement?
(possible example: a russian tank from bessarabia goes into an unoccupied romania. after that in the ncm-phase to yugoslavia activating it.)
thanx in advance
rock`n roll (the dice!) :-D

No. It may not move in both phases.

Not to question your wisdom, but in the rulebook it says tanks can "blitz by moving through an unoccupied hostile territory as the first part of a move that can end in a friendly or hostile territory.
So in the above situation it could go Bessarabia to Romania, then to USSR controlled Eastern Poland (ie going to a hostile territory, and then on to a friendly one.) Or it could go Bessarabia to Romania, then on to a UK controlled Yugoslavia, or on to a German contolled Yugoslavia. Why can’t it carry on to a Pro-Allies Neutral Yugoslvia?

Blitzing is fundamentally different from any other type of movement. Blitzing occurs ONLY as a combat move where a tank (or a tank & mech inf) moves into an unoccupied enemy territory and takes control of it before moving out of it to anywhere else during the same combat move.
Moving two spaces with a tank during noncombat is not called “blitzing”. That’s why a mech infantry can move two spaces by itself during noncombat, but into only one hostile space during combat (or 2, if accompanied by a tank, allowing it to “blitz”.)
So no, you cannot blitz a hostile territory and THEN take control of a friendly neutral, as you can
A) only move a unit in EITHER combat or noncombat, not both
B) blitz ONLY as a combat move
C) take control a friendly neutral ONLY during noncombat. -
What he said.

Because Yugoslavia is a friendly neutral territory, not a friendly territory. Once claimed by an Allied power, it will become friendly, but not before.
