Yes, if America decides to try and move through SZ 60 with those ships in the combat movement phase, they will have to stop and engage the defending enemies. However, if you clear them out and then try to move your ships through on non-combat they can sail through.
Transport placing question
-
I hope you can settle an argument I am having. If the US purchases 7 transports, don’t they follow the same rules as say placing tanks, in that they can’t place the transports in a sea zone next to land where the IC value is only a 3??
-
if you have an IC in a territory with an income value of three, the maximum number of transports you can place in an adjacent sea zone is 3 (your combined ground/air/sea units can not exceed 3 in that territory)
-
That’s correct. All units count against the limited number that can be placed at an individual IC, even ships placed in adjacent sea zones.

Great. thank you !!
