Need some clarification on Strategic bombing and scrambling. Here is the scenario UK wants to attack German navy in SZ 112 off W Germ and they want to prevent the Germ air (3 FTRs) from scrambling, if the UK sends a strat bomber to bomb the airbase and the rest of the UK airforce and navy attack 112 what is the timing of things?

a. Germany can choose to scramble available air into either the sea zone OR to defend airbase OR split them (2 to defend AB, 1 to SZ)
b. Germany has to wait to see if the bombing raid is successful and if it is, can’t scramble any air to defend the SZ

Thanks

If the US is at war can the US move troops into and control Dutch Suriname?

I knew they did, that is why I posted here.  Thanks for the quick response.

In G40 can the US unload a transport with one inf and claim Brazil while still NEUTRAL?  As I read the rules the US cannot leave original US territories with a transport on the Atlantic size and also a neutral country cannot move into other neutral countries, but a guy I play with asked Wizards for the answer and was told he could?

Grant T. Game Wrangler Customer Service Specialist from Wizards of the Coast said “As long as America doesn’t declare war or attack another nation it should be able to move and unload to friendly countries.”

With that logic then the US can drop off troops in New South Wales or London while still neutral which is not correct.  Can I get Krieg to rule in on this one?

That was my thought for #1 but not #2.  Thanks for clarification.
UK Pacific is like France then once India falls.

2 questions, a major complex has 8 damage and is captured and dropped to a minor, how much of that damage is carried over?
India is controlled by Japan if London armies recapture west India or Hong Kong from Japan does that money go to London or just lost?

Who else has played Global 42?  Has anyone else found a huge axis advantage, not so much with Germany /Italy but Japan is a monster.  Round 1 Japan takes out the US force around Solomon’s and Pearl Harbor and usually has India by round 3 or 4.  The only way to try and mitigate the Japan is for the US to throw all their money to the Pacific.  Do other groups bid for the allies?

How does the French DOW on Japan work?  Can France declare war on Japan at anytime?  Does that have a bearing on any of the other Pacific combatants or Japan’s prewar NO?

Can the US move into a sz with central power mines while still neutral and then when they declare war on round 4 can they attack the said CP navy without having to roll for mines?

I’ve played so many versions of this game I sometimes lose track of different rules.  Can complexes be built on islands?  The rulebook doesn’t specifically forbid it?  At least not what I could find.
