@Crossover:
page 12 allows a player to not place units that were build this round, but delay the placement to one of the following rounds.
This is not a general allowance. The official faq (to be found here: http://harrisgamedesign.com/pdf/A&A_Anniversary_FAQ.pdf )
clarifies (see page 5):
Q. On page 22 it says that any new units that you don’t place in the Mobilize Units phase aren’t
lost, but can be placed on a future turn. Does this mean that I don’t have to mobilize my units
if I don’t want to?
A. You must mobilize all of your purchased units that you are able to. You may only hold back units that
you can’t mobilize because you don’t have sufficient production capacity. These units remain in the
mobilization zone until they are mobilized by you.
@Crossover:
Ok let’s try that: UK builds an IC + 2 destroyers + cruiser (43 IPC) in round 1, but places only the IC in India.
now round 2 rule questions:
a) placing the three navel units from round 1 that haven’t placed yet:
can they be placed only in a sea zone next to UK or also to sz 35 because in round 2 there is a new IC in India that can also be used ?
b) if placing that units in another factory is allowed in general, does this “old units” count for the IC limit, or does an Indian IC (as an example) build 3 units + place all units from previous rounds ?
Considering the above quotation from the FAQ the naval units can be only held back if there is not enough production capacity left to place them - and in round one that is not likely.
If you run into a situation where you cannot place your units except an IC you will be allowed to place those units to any of your existing ICs in later rounds - without differing “older units” from “newer units”.
