@Swoldier said in Sub on carrier?:

@Wittmann Ok thank you, i wasnt sure a carrier alone could hit a sub since carriers have no defense and planes cant hit subs without a destroyer

Carriers do have a defense. They defend at 2.
They don’t have an attack value.

@Swoldier Just to add for completeness: It needs two hits to sink the carrier.

@ABWorsham4 said in Lend Lease To China:

Can IPC credit get lend to China to fund the war effort?

No, rulebook page 10:

China and its units are controlled by one of the Allied
players, but for game purposes it is considered a separate
power and its resources cannot be mixed with those of
other Allied powers.

@MickeyWilliams Which game are you going to teach? The game intended for beginners usually is 1941 …

@Von-Kuulness You are reading the rules correctly.
Your submarine would only have been able to retreat if it had established a valid alternative retreat route during combat movement (in case that had been possible, it depends on the map of course).

The presence of an enemy submarine does not make the seazone hostile. So the “Sea units starting in hostile seazones-rules” do not apply.

But from the FAQ we read:

Q. If some of my units begin my turn in a sea zone with enemy submarines and/or transports and I decide to attack them, can I move some or all of my units out of the sea zone in combat movement to avoid having them participate in the combat?

A. Yes. Even though the sea zone is not hostile (it contains no enemy surface warships), you can still move units from the sea zone in combat movement to escape combat if you’re attacking there. However, you must still respect the rules for moving units in the Combat Move phase to escape combat.

This means that in the situation in question, units leaving the sea zone in combat movement to avoid participation in the attack can actually end their movement in friendly zones, so transports that are leaving don’t have to participate in an amphibious assault.

In case you decide to engage the submarine you can do it, but every unit in that seazone that did not perform an alternative combat move will be part of the battle then.

A transport can also load to perform an amphibious assault. It needs an escort in case it unloads in a seazone that contains an enemy submarine.

Great News!

@Lydian said in Global 1942 Scenario by Larry Harris:

Sovjet-Mongolian Defense Pact from the Global40 rules is what I meant

Yes, those rules of the Soviet-Mongolian Defense Pact still apply in the 1942 setup. They do not address questions of being at war, but consequences of attacks in special territories.

@Lydian said in Global 1942 Scenario by Larry Harris:

It says so in the setup, just seems a bit weird, as well as the Japanese sub together with the US fleet starting in the same sea zone.

But that is a pretty common scenario in the game, that we have the “sea units starting in hostile sea zones-rules” for.

Another question, does the Sino-Sovjet Pact still apply …

I am not sure what you are talking about. Can you please cite from the rulebook what you are addressing here?

… or are Japan and Russia at War.
The rules state “ALL Powers begin the game AT WAR. Both the Soviet Union and the US may attack anyone from the onset of the game.” which doesn’t sepcifically adress this, but it reads like no penalty for attacking JAP/USSR

Again, would you please clarify your issue here?

… and AAA has glaring flaws I can’t overcome.

Would you please share those flaws you have identified? Maybe - in order not to hijack this topic here - open a topic in the TripleA Support category, please?
