Some questions

[Dragonheart]

I´m pretty new to this game and have some questions.

-With playing Germany i have captured Suez, have linked transports down to Eastafrika but i cant land in allied territory...i m supplied btw. The only spot i could land later in the game was german territory near southafrica.
-Wanted to move all these transports back later but cant move them anymore Why?
-When does Russia surrender, do one need all territories?
-As Germany i cant see what Japan is seeing when FOW is on ---isnt that strange?

Tks in advance for your help

-> a transport will have a number like '35/3' on it. The first denotes the points available for strategic move into friendly areas (like your German colony in Africa). The second denotes the points available for amphibious invasions; see the manual for how many points are needed for a unit to invade.
So basically: you do not have enough transports (you need at least 2 to invade with INF or MILITIA) to invade, but enough for strategic move.

-Wanted to move all these transports back later but cant move them anymore Why?

-> the TRNs have probably been used to move supplies or units; this sets movement points to 0.

-When does Russia surrender, do one need all territories?
-> Never.

-As Germany i cant see what Japan is seeing when FOW is on ---isnt that strange?
-> hmmm, odd. I *think* you are supposed to...

Tks in advance for your help

Hope this helps,

I have some more questions meanwhile [&:]

-Opp-Fire
So far i understand any Ari or Fighter conduct operational fire when units (naval) passing through their zone......is this only valid for narrows and island or also for normal land zones like norway for example?

-I read somewhere that when you sourround Pearl Harbour with subs and destroyers and take the island the hole US fleet in the harbour is killed. I tested this yesterday but the ships escaped everytime despite sourrounded......Was there any changment in rules to prevent this?

-When i place units in Africa as Axis and there is no tranport connection between italy and africa is then every damaged unit in africa killed as there is no valid way home?

-is it worth to rebuilt captured chinese ressource centers as japan ? ..as it seems you can never control the partisan activity due lack of infantry.

-concerning reloading torpedos for subs, do i need supply in the province with the harbour? ...and what determines how many torpedos they get each round back? Some Subs get more than others it seems.

-to whiche levl one have to research transport evasion that they dont get killed with one shot?

Tks for your help in advance

Edit: The opp fire thing i found by myself meanwhile....Artillery will conduct opp fire on narrows and Fighter,Bomber,Tac on islands or land zones bordering seazones.

Pearl Harbour
I believe that was deemed a bug. I am not even sure if it was possible to reproduce the incident.

Africa
Correct as far as I know.

China
Its not worth taking Chinese inland territory if you cannot garrison it properly and repair the resources. Heck, it might not even be worth it anyhow but thats a different question. If you do go that way - build some MIL for garrison duty.

Torp value
You need a supply unit to resupply a sub. This will use up the supply point. The number of torps a Sub loads is equal to its torp value (tech).

TRS evasion
That depends on the attack (torpedo) value of the Subs you are fighting. In generel I dont think its worth spending research on TRS at all. Better to up to ASW of your aircraft / LS and kill the Subs. As long as you dont trade too many TRS per Sub you kill you are doing splendid (as the WA atleast).

In my current email game i noticed that i dont get gifts from WA. Shouldn´t i get 3 RP´s each round like germany from russia, as long i dont capture any inland province from china.....so far i performed only bombing raids. [&:]

this bug setting my inf. evasion research to -2 is also an annoying thing [:(]

Btw which island suits best as base for defence operations of japan and it´s psessions?

[JanSorensen]

Did you by chance invade Siam? If so that explains why the US stopped sending those 3 rp. Well, or would the date be Sum 41 or later?

Wrt the defense of Japan I dont feel experienced enough to answer.

If you have a bug with research being negative you should mail it to paulv@matrixgames.com including a save game showing the problem.

[Dragonheart]

No i did not invade Siam, but its already winter 1942....so wallies ares ending gifts only until a certain date?

I read about this bug already somewhere in the forum so it should be already well known.
It happend as i tried to research during a movement turn by mistake...showing a -2/12 for inf evasion now [:(]

Read rule 9.7 again and you will get the answer to that question

[Dragonheart]

Puuh although my learning curve is quite good i cant keep all that details in my mind....to much input leads to fade away some input. [:D] But tks anyway for clarification.

[JanSorensen]

You are welcome

I don't think this bug is on our bug list (I don't remember seeing it). If you know how to make it happen, please post that in the support thread and/or email paulv@matrixgames.com. Thanks.
