Standard question

@wittmann:

Afternoon Suprtramp.
Yes it can. Only Navy blocks naval movement(or a Strait of course!).
An island is a separate territory, yes.

With the exception of Subs and Transports, which cannot block enemy movement by themselves.

Shakespeare: there are six: SZ 6,17, 19, 20, 22 and 35.

But if you choose to stay and fight then your Subs can’t submerge during combat, because of the Destroyers’ anti-sub capabilties.

@The:

cool, thanks. And I knew that the U.S. technically wouldn’t earn any money with the Western U.S. taken, but I was really referring to the Global game where the Western U.S. wouldn’t be the capital.

Well there will be a new set of rules for the global game. It’s hard to say the impact that’ll have, though it’s good to get the question out early so them who make the rules will address it correctly.

@allboxcars:

(Wow I just spent way too long with 50x errors!!)
Anyway, I was thinking some UK player might to trigger a Japanese DOW.

…and just trying to proof the FAQ. Bad habit’s die hard.

You can’t trigger war or make someone else trigger war. War is declared at the start of your movement phase.

If the UK and Japan aren’t at war, the UK is free to move unescorted transports through sea zones containing Japanese subs.

Granted.
I was just trying to point things out tactfully.

Thanks, not really a big deal.

I’m now somewhat curious about the reasons for the “under protection” wording.

Why not just:

Dutch like power whose capital is controlled by enemy
except UK/ANZAC can take control

If UK/ANZAC provokes war, Japan is free to attack the UK/ANZAC and take Dutch territories, without bringing the US into the war.

i agree with u…im sure Krieghund will add that to the eratta

+1 to u sir
