JagWars -> I did not realize that I was a Newbe (3/25/2017 3:17:04 AM)

I have been playing the board game since 1986. I was in international sales and had a customer in Australia. Knowing that I was a war-game enthusiast, he sent me one as a gift.
I and the dozen or so others that I game with became hooked and have been playing WiF on and off ever since. One of the problems with playing with a closed group is that once every one has decided they know the rules, rules interpretations become fixed and rarely changed. This is particularly so when you play the same game for an extended period of time. One in the group becomes the rules expert and is rarely challenged.
And so it has become with WiF.
I bought MWIF as soon as it was available. I was not so much interested in the game as I was the maps. I never liked that China was on a different scales. It just did not seem to work right, particularly with the air units.
Myself and three others tried to play MWiF when first release and gave up because of all of the bugs and crashes and screen freezes. A few weeks ago I bought a 60 inch 4K monitor and convinced them to give it another try. It did not work as well as I had hoped, so we went back to the two 32 inchers. We have four keyboards and four mouse(s)(I know that the plural is mice, but somehow that does not seem to fit the description of multiple computer mouse units).
Of course none of that is really relevant except that I have already asked rules question three times in the last two weeks.
1st-garrison values for Italian surrender. Our group decided long ago that the ZOC language applied only to breaking agreements and partisans since the Italian surrender rules do not specifically state that.
2nd-saved Free French BPs were not being used by the production system; they were not being stored in the capital. We should have known this one, but over the years we had come to rather ignore the difference between BPs in the capital and those stored elsewhere.
3rd - Even though the Germans have conquered Lithuania, Kaunas (its capital) is not recognized as a secondary supply source for Germany.
Now I have a 4th question.
The Brits are trying to use the Harrow in the UK to transport the Para company on the coast of France back to the UK. However, when the Brit hovers the Harrow over the hex with the Para Company, the game states that there are no valid targets in the Hex. All four of us have read the pertinent rules several times each and cannot discern what we are missing.
