Same conditions are fine but I don’t think we should allow Spain to be violated. I think I’m open to either side with those conditions, too

The Japanese were content to subjugate Hawaii for the foreseeable future and sent one kamikaze man on a mission to post a note on a door in San Francisco. It said “Banzai!” In Japanese. The soldier never made it back. His fleet is already 11,900 km away.

OK, up from my nap so the hostilities will continue now

Are you sure you don’t want Borneo? Seems like a good thought. UK bomber out of range, Sea of Japan very safe

Before I play, did you want to leave the 4 transports, now 5 after the purchase, in the Sea of Japan? I think you only used 3 to unload Manchuria so giving you a chance to move the 4th that didn’t transport, if you want. I’m guessing no.

he 2 sea zones on the lower left side of the board…

1 bordering Peru + Argentina/Chile
The other has to be the one enveloping the Tierra del Fuego

All territories and sea zones on the left side of the board end at the dashed border line, so these 2 sea zones do also.

Surely the border lines of sea zones in this area of the map are all straight lines, especially since covered up by blow up boxes (what were they thinking?!!)

If you draw the northern border of the New Zealand zone to the east until you hit the Peru/Argentina/Tierra del Fuego zones you must draw to the right border of the map, and if you draw straight, you get exactly what’s in Triple A.

If that doesn’t do it for you, I understand. We have a rule-book writer on A&A.org who answers quickly and authoritatively (he’s about 468:1 on right answers) and he can change my 98% answer into 100. I would also be stunned if the TripleA map isn’t correct by now, especially because they would have consulted with said rule-book writer.

Just say the word

“The blow-up boxes on the lower right side of the gameboard cannot be moved on or off from adjacent sea zones. For example, the sea zone surrounding New Zealand is adjacent to the two sea zones surrounding Peru and Argentina/Chile on the lower left side of the board – not to the blow-up boxes!”

In particular, I thought that the sea zone east of the Solomons and south of Hawai’i was adjacent to the sea zone directly south of Argentina including Tierra del Fuego. Of course, the TripleA map does not show that. Could you or someone else confirm?
