I add that according to the FAQ, Panzergrenadiers are vehicle class :

Q: Are German SS Panzergrenadiers Infantry Class units?
A: No. (they are Vehicle class, like regular Mech. Infantry)

Since, they definitely only become available after a tech improvement, Rule 7.8 applies.

Beating the proverbial dead horse here, but in the Glossary (Rule 0.9) :

Warship: Any surface ship that has an attack value (this would exclude naval transports and all types of aircraft carriers)

Surface ship: Any naval vessel that is not a submarine.

I agree with @Didier_de_Dax that « Surface Warship » is redundant since it’s already part of the Warship definition.

The distinction is useful for Aircraft Carriers, that are Surface Ships, but not Warships.

We could always suggest a correction to “Surface warships that go in the water (except for the bit that is above-water) but that you cannot land planes on” !

@theveteran No problem.

Ok, now back to mountainous borders. I’m not saying terrain is magically flat if it is friendly. The way you can be certain that I don’t believe that is to scroll back and read where I said if the armor were in Northern Italy and moving through a friendly Southern France, it would not be allowed to continue on to Aquitaine the same turn.

I’m saying that when a land zone is friendly, then border terrain doesn’t start affecting you until the moment you cross the border. And the river rules give a hint that my perspective may be the correct one.

Sidenote on Game Design: There are two ways game designers can approach movement costs: walls or quicksand. With the walls approach, you are not permitted to move unless you have sufficient movement. If I understand Global War’s system, it is a quicksand one. You are allowed to go in, but then get penalized and stuck. This is the way I conceptualize it. I may be wrong, but I know Morten’s approach in general is to give the player choices with consequences. Other game designers forbid players from doing things.

@generalhandgrenade Thanks for the answer !

On my map, the St. Laurence Seaway connects Ottawa to Sea Zone 21.

@vondox said in Militia questions:

I have a few questions concerning Militia… First, let me start with some rules from HBG…

Militia can be built at a non-factory site up the worth of the IPP value of that land zone. YES

A land zone of 3 IPP in a home country Originally owned territory can generate 3 militia units per turn. or three 1-IPP zones can generate 1 militia each per turn. YES

Question: A medium factory has 3 product slots per turn and it is in a land zone worth two IPPs… So can the player build a total of 5 militia there? 3 from the factory and 2 from the land zone? NO

In a captured land zone the maximum number of Militia units that can be built is always 1, regardless of the IPP value of that land zone. YES

Question: Germany captures all of France and every turn the player invests 10 IPPs to build there. In several turns Germany has built up a sizeable number of militia units. The US invades. Can the German player begin to move the Militia units from land zone to land zone within France? NO Can the German player move Militia units into Germany? NO

My reading of the rules would indicate that if a Militia is raised in Picardy then it must stay in Picardy if it was a Militia unit raised by the Germans. YES

KMT, CCP, Nat Spain and Repub Spain can raise militia in each territory but NONE of them can move to an adjacent territory as part of an attack. YES

Militias raised in land zones by MINOR POWERS can not MOVE out the land zone they are raised. YES
Militias raised in land zones that were conquered by a MAJOR power can NOT move out of the land zone they were raised in YES If YES, can they move in the landzone’s of the HOME AREA they were raised in ( IE… Militia raised by Germany in France can move around in France but not out of France. NO
Militias raised by a nation in their HOME COUNTRY can move about freely ( 1 move per turn ) to any other home country land zone and can participate in attacks on home country land zones with other land units. YES

In short:

Militia can be built up to the IPP value of an Home country territory (Minimum one) and can move within home country. Militia may be build up to the IPP value of a non home country originally possessesed territory (Minimum one) and may not move. ONE militia may be built in any other territory and may not move.

Optional Rule 10.2 is in the non-combat section.

During non-combat, you land the aircraft that took part in combat (10.3) and can move aircraft that did not (10.1), so both options would be available.

@noneshallpass

Ok thanks I don’t see the modification in the errata my bad.
