Sommerzeit schreibt Billp@eplus.com: Dear Bill, thanks for your nice comments. ) Can a leader alone gain control of an unoccupied enemy area? YES 2) In the movement and exploitation segments, do you have to move first the navy, then the air, then the land? Your examples seem to show that, but it is not expressly stated in the rules. No particular order needed, but certain actions require an order like ship movement before unloading. 3) When does control change for unoccupied areas entered by an enemy. For example, if the BE has no units in Africa, can the Italians move armor across both sides of the Suez Canal, thus taking control of those areas, and move naval units throught the canal in that same movement phase? YES 4) Can the 'Surprise' card be played by the defender in a combat? YES 5) Can units of a major power react to enemy attacks on a neutral? Example, Germany invades BNL, can BE and/or French units react into the BNL? YES, but we are thinking about to do this optional. 6) Is movement allowed between Usbeskistan and Irkusk? (The Weather/Search chart is in the way) Not allowed go through Kasachstan, Ural etc. 7) Can naval units move from the Indian Ocean to the European map? If so, which seazone(s) can they move to? There are no red arrows in the Indian Ocean, but it seems units should be able to move from there to the East Africa seazones. Red Sea, read: 1.1.advanced rules 8) Can Japan enter Indochina without the card after France falls? YES Does this effect American pre-war production ? YES and wages war vs Vichy 9) Can anyone else occupy French Indochina after France falls (i.e. China)? Yes but this declares war on Vichy, making Vichy an Axis minor. Does this effect American pre-war production ? YES 10) Do French/BE/American subs, in the seazone adjecent to Western Germany cost Germany one BP per turn? NO Subs can only effect colonies or BE homecountries other than UK. Only from colonies there is something transported that can be "sunk" by subs. 11) Can Germany build the German Minor units before the activate as Germany's allies? NO 12) Rules say French Colonies (Algieria, Fr Indochina) become "neutral" when France falls. Are these former colonies then considered "neutral areas" (8.1) or "neutral countries" (8.2)? Can the Axis occupy them? YES Does occupation effect American pre-war production? YES 13) Can convoy's use their double movement when conducting an invasion? NO see6.4.2 F Hope that helps! Have fun playing! Udo
