Spring 42 question

No big news of course, as most of you will know, but I wondered why there is no link to the rulebook of Spring 1942 in this subforum.
At least not a stickied one.

May be it is because Wizards/AH made them available to the public some time after the release of the game.

Anyway, here is the link to the Spring 1942 rulebook:

Perfect.  Thank you so much…

Yes, it’s legal.  Of course, if you destroy all of the defending units in the first combat round, you’re stuck.

@Dukla:

Is it ok to take one territory with one tank and in the same combat move round do blitz with another tank from the same territory{as first tank came}through the NEW territory?{I HAVE 2 TANKS IN ES.EUROPE,1 IS TAKING{unoccupied hostile} UKRAINE AND AFTER I DO MOVE AND BATTLE WITH THE 2nd TANK IN CAUCAS.

Yes, because the blitzed territory is unoccupied.

That’s correct.

@Veqryn:

can you move a submarine into (not through) and stop in an enemy controlled sea zone during combat move, and choose not attack?

No, you can’t.  However, in AA50 and AA42 if there are no enemy destroyers you can submerge at the beginning of the first combat round, effectively avoiding combat.

@Veqryn:

can you move a submarine into (not through) and stop in an enemy controlled sea zone during Non-combat move?

In Revised, no.  In AA50 and AA42, yes, regardless of the presence of enemy destroyers.

Yes.  However, in this particular example there would be no need for them to do so, since with the bomber unable to hit them any longer the battle would be effectively over.

It’s better to just write your money down, especially if you’re playing one on one. It can get messy trying to keep IPC’s organized for all three allies. Writing income down is quicker and is evidence of purchases in case there are any disputes later. Our group stopped using money before 42 even came out because we realized the pointlessness of it.

Therefore Saltz, keep that in mind in your strategies.  Always, I MEAN ALWAYS, have enough infantry fodder to bring to battle.  This is an economic war as much as anything.  If you keep losing tanks and planes on hits because you don’t have enough ‘fodder infantry’ to throw to the wolves you will surely lose your battles.  Unless of course your opponent’s buys are the same as yours.

Hey, there’s an idea.  Have a war with no infantry or artillery.  See how that works out.  Might be fun, never know.
