U.S. Sub in Hawai

@Smack:

Hello Forum, another Q on spring 42. Suppose U.K. conquers Norway and begins  a shuttle of troops along with the US and as partners decide it best to allow US to build an IC on Norway,
Is this permitted?

No, it is not.

@rulebook:

Place new industrial complexes in any territory that you have controlled since the start of your turn and that has an income
value of at least 1.

So only UK can build IC on UK controlled territories.

HTH :-)

Hobbits.  They lie to you then they steal your stuff.   :roll:

Bunnies. Always thinking about carrots  :roll:

If you want realism, man up and join the military  8-)

Just so I’m not second guessing myself, if there was a destroyer blocking you, you could still perform an amphibious assault if you aided the transport with fighters, right?

you can always make an amphibious assault with a transport… as long as the attacker wins whatever naval combat occurs in the SZ.  if a Destroyer and a transport attack a SZ for amp assault and there is an enemy destroyer there, combat occurs.  as long as the enemy is sunk, you can continue to amp assault the territory.  If its survives then your transports are sunk as they do not have any combat (or defense) roll.

Not true, the attacking TRN can retreat.

After the combat round is finished, yes it can retreat.

But there are a lot of weird situations: imagine there’s a SZ containing an enemy sub and a destroyer and that you send the transport to make a landing, along with 2 fighters to clear the SZ. Since the enemy sub can’t hit the planes if it rolls a hit on 1 you’ll have to remove the transport as a casualty.

I know you want to play, so don’t be a wanna-be-player!

Be a PLAYER!  :mrgreen:

@Dylan:

Well in all the games that have this thing, I’ve kept it, but never used it. One game anyways someone asked if I we could put all the pieces and chips under it, so I agreed, but I don’t know what it’s for?

I use it to put the pieces that were hit during a round of combat so I know that they get a shot back in defense. Once they get the defense shot then I remove them from play and put them back in the baggie.

Maybe there is a small contradiction here.  Perhaps the rule on page 30 should say “anytime it would otherwise fire”.  Fire is simultaneous, whereas the actual dice rolling is not.
