I understand Allied transport mechanics is a three step process, but I want to confirm or deny to settle a debate.

Scenario A: Allied units in England. UK TTs in SZ 110. Can US units load from England onto UK TT and offload into Holland/Belgium in the same turn, Either for combat movement or non combat movement? End result: US units move from England into Holland/Belgium in one turn using Allied transports.

Scenario B: Allied units in England. UK TTs in SZ 110. US units load onto UK TTs. Turn ends. UK does not move TTs. On the next US turn the land units are moved either during combat or NCM. End Result: US units move from England into Holland/Belgium in two turns using Allied transports.

Is Scenario A or B correct? Does anybody use scenario A mechanics in their games?

haven’t played in a few years but about to start again. If I have TT in a friendly SZ, can I load the TT, and conduct an assault in the same combat phase? Can I load the TT in a friendly zone, and then off load then TT on friendly territory in the same noncombat phase?

From my experience, having a higher attack pt count than my opponent, balanced with decent probability. A lot of arty combined with infantry and mech to raise my chances at relatively low costs. I also purchase 3-4 arm per turn to bring some punch and double the amount of units in the fight. I think the arty makes a huge difference in the grind. Using air is also really helpful to minimize casualties for the smaller battles to reduce the of rounds in combat.

Great, that answers my question.

Is aircraft mvmt separate from ship mvmt? Can ships move two spaces and then aircraft move four spaces after ship mvmt in the combat phase? I’m pretty sure it only applies for non-combat but I’m not sure about combat.

All these responses clear any up any confusion, thanks guys.

Thanks, I had the activation concept backwards.

I forgot the rule, could Italy or Germany blitz through northwest Persia into Caucasus if the territory is not controlled by an allied country(us, uk, or ussr)?

Anybody interested in playing any AA map or miniatures?

That’s true about it being an introductory game. I am in the Marine Corps. Maybe as the cadets advance in their understanding of tactics and strategy, but I still would recommend the miniatures game for more advanced cadets.
