Capturing convoy routes?

@timerover51:

Tell you what, since you like to learn your history from books, I have some reading for you.

Start with Knights of Bushido, which describes the impeccable behavior of the Japanese in the China Incident and the Greater East Asian War.

Then read about the holiday activities of the Japanese Army in Nanking, China in December of 1937 and January of 1938.  The Japanese Army had such a fun frolic then.

And then read about the life-saving activities of Unit 731 in Manchuria.

What point is your sarcasm trying to make?

You just gotta move it in on the combat phase. It’s like taking an empty enemy terrotory.

If you’ve read the rulebook carefully, you should know the answers:

In non-combat movement, you can only move your units that you did not move during the combat movement phase. Once a transport unloads, its move ends.

Thanks for the clarification Krieghund.

Once you take it, it’s yours until someone takes it from you.  You don’t have to leave units there.

Whenever the British player collects his income he will get 12 IPCs from his convoys (if he controls all of them) as soon as this is collected it must be given to or split between Australia and India. These 12 IPCs are also given at the begining of the game with the starting income at which point the British player must dispurse the money between the two powers as he sees fit.

Certainly. You’ve probably noticed that all the convoy routes have coresponding land territory bording it. This means that in order to collect income from that territory one must control both the territory and and the convoy route. For example: By gaining control of the seazone surounding the Philipeans the Japanese can cut off the islands from the US. This means that the US will not collect any income from the Philipeans while Japan retains control of the convoy route. This does not, however, mean that Japan will collect that income yet; in order for that to happen the islands and the convoy route must be controled. I hope that cleared it up; convoy routes can add a whole other dimension to the game if played correctly.

ya, i read it in the manual a little after I posted the question…and I figured uit out, but thanks for the help. Oh ya, my games are kinda likke that, (I read the manual every turn heh)
thanks 😄
