Standard Rules: Japan moving into US Sea Zone before war declared

@SubmersedElk:

The Pacific Ocean is a LOT larger than the Atlantic. The sea spaces need to be bigger for gameplay purposes or it would take twice as long to cross.

Yes you would actualy be island hopping iso just skipping nearly every island there.

Same thing with the Med though, malta hardly has any real value for either side, sure you can land a plane there but you could do the same from Egypt and gibraltar.

@barney:

Good advice Wild bill. I would also say be patient. Bad dice, especially 1st rd, on a big naval battle can really skew things.

Patience does not help against bad dice though, even with 90% odds if you screw up round 1 you can still lose the battle and with it the entire game.
Goes for the axis as well though.

Why not ask if you need a transport to cross the Tasman sea. Heck, people can swim the English Channel so therefore no transport should be required, right?

Fair dinkum. This has got to be one of the weirdest A&A questions I’ve heard.

US gets the bonus in the first collect income phase after it has become at war with any of the Axis powers. And also, it gets the bonus in all subsequent turns. The 10–>50 IPC United States West only applies to the Pacific standalone game.

@Krieghund:

@Shaniana:

Is the basic rule that every British unit counts as “Europe” as soon as it is on the European board and treated accordingly (may not enter Russia), whereas every UK Unit in Asia is treated as Pacific and may enter Russia, regardless of where it started or was built or anything?

UK units are just UK units, no matter where they are or where they came from.   The distinction here is which map the Soviet territories are on, not the source of the units moving into them.

@Shaniana:

What if my Russian airplane lands on a carrier off the Indian cost, and that carrier then tries to move to Africa?

The carrier may not leave the Pacific map until either the Soviet fighter leaves it or the USSR is at war in Europe.

@Shaniana:

And what about an ANZAC fighter entering the European board? Is it allowed to fly to Russia’s European side?

No.

Thanks alot!
