Scrambling when air units are attacking transports
In our current AA Global game, I am Axis. I have transports all by themselves in SZ 95 and 97. If Allies attack these transports, with air units can I scramble to protect them??

submarines, transports and surface ships attacked by air units
We are in the middle of an AA Global game. I am Axis. The Allies have 1 cru, 1 dest, 3 trans and 2 subs in SZ 91. If I attack SZ 91 with Bomber and 2 fighters, the subs cannot fire back. Will the trans be destroyed when the surface ships are destroyed??

RE: Transport to hostile sz then land units in friendly territory
@ampdrive Thank you ampdrive. So in 1942 it would be done on NCM even though sz 15 was hostile at the beginning of the turn?

RE: Transport to hostile sz then land units in friendly territory
@ampdrive No enemy ships in sz 35. This is round one…

Transport to hostile sz then land units in friendly territory
I am not clear on this move. I am playing the allies in Spring 1942. Still in round 1. I have the UK original carr with 1 fght, 1 cruiser and 1 transport in sz 35. My good buddy opponent (axis) failed to take Egypt on his first try. He does have his Bttl and transport in sz 15 after destroying the UK destroyer. I want to attack these with the bomber from London along with the carr, fght and cruiser from sz 35. Can I take my transport along for the combat move and unload 1 or 2 infantry into Eqypt (which still belongs to UK)? I looked in the rulebook. On page 13 it states “If a transport encounters hostile surface warships (not enemy submarines and/or transports) AFTER it begins to move (not counting the sea zone it started in), its movement for that turn ends, and it must stop there and conduct sea combat.” So do you interpret this as being part of a combat move with the consideration being that if the UK force is destroyed, the transport and all of its cargo is as well? If not destroyed, I can offload my infantry into Egypt even though this is not an amphibious assault?

Spring 1942 setup cards
We have resumed playing Spring 1942 after playing 5 other versions of AA. We have seen discrepancies with different versions of the setups. Can someone provide me with the latest setup cards for AA Spring 1942??

1940 Global USA declare war with Germany/Italy but not Japan
We have just started a new War. I am Allies. If I declare war on Germany/Italy (at Collect Income 3rd round) but not on Japan I have read in the forums that US would collect it’s wartime income. My question is this: If US does not attack Japan or declare war on it is the “unprovoked declaration of war against UK or ANZAC” (Page 9 in Pacific Rules) rule still in force? Would US still collect 30 IPC’s if Japan performs this unprovoked attack?

@panther Thank you very much Panther. This answered my question. Now I’ll have to roll the bones and see what happens…

US Industrial Complex in Norway sz 113 deployment
We are involved in a great battle in the Global 1940 game. I am Allies and I have just placed an IC in Norway for the US. In response my learned opponent has placed 2 BTTL, 1 CRU, 1 DEST and 3 Trans in sz 112 for Ger. I have the units to attack with US and then UK but it will be close. My question is this: I will be placing at least 2 US BTTL for my 1st deployment. Can I place one in sz 113 so he can’t pass through the straights with the trans to attack Norway??

RE: Can you clear one sea zone in order to attack another sea zone in the same turn
Thank you very much Panther. This clarifies the question.

Can you clear one sea zone in order to attack another sea zone in the same turn
Could one use a portion of their navy to clear a hostile sea zone and then use the unused portion (on the same turn) to move through the once hostile sea zone and attack another sea zone? For Instance, can Italy clear SZ 92 in order to attack ships in SZ 91 in the same turn. I have read this question posed by CARSONBPARKER on JUL 17, 2017, 1:39 PM but was not able to see the answer he was given.
Thank you very much,

RE: Can you scramble from an airbase if there are only friendly transports in adjacent SZ?
@barnee Thank you very much Barnee. This is the first time this situation has come up, so we wanted to do it right.

Can you scramble from an airbase if there are only friendly transports in adjacent SZ?
In this current game, I am Axis. This question is relevant to me attacking a sole transport in SZ 26 with a CC or DD with US having just a Tactical Bomber in Pearl. If there is no scramble, I will just use DD.
