2nd Edition Q&A

feeds@yuku.com (strategicspock) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:52:01 GMT

I beleive I read this somewhere, but can not find it. Is it leagal for a ftr from an ac in azo to participate in a battle in feq and return to same carrier during combat, and that same carrier moves to nor s/z during non combat with same ftr aboard? I beleive it can, but need to verify. Thanks

Order of Loss

feeds@yuku.com (mangomike) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:33:16 GMT

For a sea battle involving SUBs can a defender choose which attacker hit.

This is the battle:
4 FTR 1 SUB vs 1 BB 1 TRN 1 SUB
SUB missed and attacker FTR hit 3 and defender hit 3

Defender says that the TRN hit SUB and therefore SUB can not fire at a FTR and SZ is cleared by 3 FTR

My thoughts were that SUB would have hit SUB and TRN BB hit 2 FTR and SZ cleared by 2 FTR

Let me know.

Liberating a territory

feeds@yuku.com (Leothelop) — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 07:48:28 GMT

Heres the situation: Germany has captured Caucasus, Japan has captured Mos, US liberates Caucasus and collects 3 IPCs, Russia then liberates Mos, Caucasus it reverted back to Mos and US losses 3 IPCs in territory but keeps the cash, Russia at the end of its turn collects 3 IPCs for Caucasus. Is this a legal move?

Liberating a territory

feeds@yuku.com (Leothelop) — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 07:41:22 GMT

I'm in a game right now and unsure about a situation. Caucasus was captured by Germany, Japan then captures Mos, the US liberates Caucasus and collects the 3 IPCs, (because Russia has lost it capital), then Russia liberates Mos, Caucasus is reverted back to Russia and US losses 3 IPCs in territory, but keeps the cash, and then Russia collects another 3 IPCs and the end of the round. Is this a legal move?

AA gun control

feeds@yuku.com (Ghost7777) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 07:35:29 GMT

Germany controls Leningrad and its aa gun. The US successfully liberates Leningrad. Can Russia immediately move the aa gun to a different territory or does it have to control the territory for an entire turn before it can be moved?

defender inf vs arm CDE

feeds@yuku.com (AATorped0) — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 09:24:33 GMT

silly little question.. defender has 1 tank in a territory and the attacking order states the defender is an infantry, is this battle a CDE even if they both defend at 2? thanks-

What happens in this situation II?

feeds@yuku.com (pcr3939) — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 05:35:38 GMT

Sorry guys I'm full of errors lately that I'm sure will cost me my games.

O.k. it's U.S.'s turn and he originally sends a arm from fin>rus.Later on in the NC phase he decides he wants to send it to kar with his inf.So this is how the NC phase looks.

5 inf,1 aa-lib>egy
2 bmb-per>wca
1 aa,2 inf-wca>fin(via 2 trn-uksz)
1 arm-eca>fin(via trn-uksz)
1 bmb-kar>wca
6 inf-wus>wca
1 trn-car>goc
1...

What happens in this situation?

feeds@yuku.com (pcr3939) — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 05:27:11 GMT

In a game that I'm playing I wanted to load up kar for a possible attack from eeu.I however wrote my NC moves like this

1 aa-rus>eve
1 aa-kaz>nov
1 aa-cau>per
5 inf-per>kar*******As you can see I intended to write cau.There wasn't any units in per to move******
2 ftr-kaz>kar
3 inf,1 ftr-rus>kar
2 inf-rus>eve

We don't pass maps and I included a update with the units in kar.So my belief is he updates his map...

Is this legal??

feeds@yuku.com (Unit10) — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:38:00 GMT

I'm not sure if the action taken by my opponent is legal or not,

but I sure would like know the answer.

The dice server sends the combat and time each action is taken.

A player attack Wmd sz with sub,2ftrs vs bb and misses. The bb get a hit leaving 2ftrs.

My opponent stops that battle and continues all other battles. Lab sz, Emd sz,Egypt, and Syria.

Then after that he does the Wmd sz battle again with 2 ftrs vs bb. The second one get a hit and...

bridging UK troops w/the Soviet trn

feeds@yuku.com (Ghost7777) — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 05:13:35 GMT

The Allies have a Soviet trn sitting in NOR w/2 UK inf. On the next UK move, those 2 inf are transported to FIN and another 2 inf UK are moved onto the trn. Is this move legal?

sub in EMD

feeds@yuku.com (Leothelop) — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 08:35:51 GMT

I have a new recruit who asked why is the sub placed in EMD and not RED at the begining of the game. I couldn't answer becasue I didn't know or forgot I knew, either way I don't know now. In the rules it states Egy-Syr seazone, which could be either place, can someone help clear this up?

Rolling column by column

feeds@yuku.com (Ghost7777) — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 05:24:32 GMT

In a recent game, my opponent attacked EPO on JA-1 w/3 ftr, 1 sub vs 1 ftr, 1 ac, 1 sub. My sub and ftr scored defensive hits, but the attacker casualties were listed as 1 sub 1. Since the dice are rolled column by column, my sub should have rolled first (hitting the Japanese sub), then my ac rolled (and missed), and finally my ftr rolled and hit. Does the attacker suffer 1 or 2 casualties?

chosing aa casualties

feeds@yuku.com (edvinf) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 14:38:22 GMT

If I have gotten this correctly, attacker gets to choose which planes dives to aa-gun fire in 2nd edition.

If planes destined for different battles has to (/wants to) fly over the same aa gun en-route, will this aa gun fire be resolved simultaneously for all planes flying over, or will the aa gun fire be resolved for each battle separately?

example (US turn):

combat:
#1 UKR inf
LEN: 2 inf
NOR: 2 ftr (fly over aa gun in EEU)

#2 BLA trn...

Gulf of Mexico

feeds@yuku.com (Molvas) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:17:33 GMT

I didn't want to screw this up...Is Eus adjacent to any water other than ECO? For example, GOM?
There is a Japanese INF in Panama and a TRN nearby, and I am trying to block him by putting a US transport in ECO...

Splitting a transport

feeds@yuku.com (Molvas) — Mon, 26 May 2008 19:14:22 GMT

I know you can't land a US INF in combat in Fin and a different US INF in Gbr in non-com using the same transport.
But, a US TRN holds a UK INF. US uses the transport in combat to move one US INF to combat in Fin, and obviously the UK INF just sits on the transport. Is that legal?

fly over neutral terretory non-combat

feeds@yuku.com (edvinf) — Mon, 26 May 2008 15:50:06 GMT

If I have understood this correctly, it is possible to violate neutrality and place your flag on a neutral territory by flying over it.

Is this fly-over necessarily a combat move, to be done during combat declaration?

If so, is it required for the plane to participate in some "real" combat as well ?

Can a bmb/ftr fly over that body of water directly north of Persia?

feeds@yuku.com (pcr3939) — Sat, 10 May 2008 18:33:47 GMT

Can a bmb/ftr fly over that body of water directly north of Persia? If so then there's no point in buying aa guns to protect Rus from SBR's.I've always wanted to know this thanks.

AC Moves in NCM

feeds@yuku.com (AA 231) — Thu, 01 May 2008 07:27:51 GMT

I attacked Haw and my fighter died, does the AC still have to move to EPOsz, or is it free to move elsewhere since the fighter was already killed in the course of combat?

I believe that the rules indicate NCM is separate from combat and despite the fact that if the fighter had survived, then the AC must move to EPOsz in NCM;...
