Hi Bruce, I am playing the Allies in the game that prompted this whole discussion. The situation in the Atlantic has been tough for the Allies and things in ...
This is not what I need. I need to know how many transports were in which boxes, how many were lost, how many were built and where, and what you tried to do. ...

At the start of the Allied player turn I had: Atlantic: 13 available + 7 damaged = 20 transports Indian: 4 available transports I built the following in the UC...
Okay - I'll try to go through the posts and see what's unclear. The basic principle is that only surplus transports can be sent to other SW boxes - other than...

Yep I definitely see that now after reading the posts. I just think the rules leave enough wiggle room to get around that restriction. Thanks for taking a look...

Ah, I forgot about the South Africa box. Yeah, you can't do that. Perhaps Bruce can tweak it or give an example to clarify the rule(s). Eric Thobaben ... ...

Hi Don, Thanks for clarifying the sequential nature of NRs. I'm not sure if I'm following you after that. Are you saying that depending on how the Allied...

Ground units in two hexes are attacked from a single hex, and both defending hexes are across a river from the attacking hex. An airborne unit drops on one of...
... I would think so. Each hex has their own DM anyway, so the fact that there are different DMs for each hex is okay. The airborne didn't negate the +1 DM...
A good question, and I don't know the answer. By extension of the rule for air, you could conclude that the DM of both defenders is affected. On the other...
