Sorry to bother you guys with such a triviality, but I'm away from my rulebooks atm.


Does anyone know if you can do a groundstrike, and then have the bomber return to a different hex than it came from? Or do you have to return to the same hex?


Best wishes,

Carrier based air units use a different set of rules. They have to return to base to a carrier on which they can legally stack, that is in the same sea area and the same section box as the carrier from which they flew the mission. For example, if you left from a carrier in the 3 section box, then you cannot return to one in the 2 section box.

Pretty busy at the moment.

If I showed up at a WIFCon while MWIF is sill unfinished, I would need to bring at least 1 bodyguard.

I did play in several mini-tournaments at (board) war game conventions in the NY-Washington corridor 30 or so years ago. I made the top table after the first round and got "Best Italy" in a Diplomacy tournament (49 players) by holding onto 2 units at the end of the second round's game. I wasn't all that happy with drawing Italy in the second round, having to play against 6 other guys who also had won in the first round - then Austria moved for an all-out attack on me in the first turn, ... Sorry, you have to know the game Diplomacy fairly well to understand what all that means. On the other hand, playing (just) Italy in WIF is roughly comparable.

Hope I'm not breaking any taboos against necrothreadcy, but I had two more questions that came up.


A) Japan is at war with China, and nobody else. China surrenders. When Japan goes to war again, do the MIL (outside of the ones who are reserves) have to be rebuilt, or will they come back for free when war resumes?


B) Italy is at war with France but not the CW. Germany is at war with both. Can an Italian TRS carry a German unit through either Gibraltar or Suez.



Any help would be greatly appreciated

I've long hoped you could come to WiFCon ... just to kick back and play the game for a change.

A) From the 2008 Errata: "When a major power reverts to neutrality, any on-map MIL are placed in the reserve pool instead of the force pool, and thereafter treated as regular reserves."

B) Yes.

Edit: The above are the ADG WiFFE rules and B) should work in MWiF. I can't recall for sure if the Errata on MILs is in MWiF, but I think it is.

19.4 Minor Country Units

Setting up

4th Para

Set up on the map each of the minor's naval units that has a date on the back that is at least 2 years earlier except those sunk prior to the start of the scenario. For example, in the Global War campaign, if your opponent declares war on Spain in 1940, you would set up all the Spanish ships that have 1938 or earlier on the back of their counter except for the Espana.

Queries:

1. Why does the example single out Espana only and not Jaime I and Baleares? I assume this is just an error?
2. What happens to these three ships? Are they a) removed from the game (i.e. they are only ever used with Days of Decision) or b) Placed in the Force Pool?
3. What is the correct treatment for the Mexican Anauhac? This ship has no sunk date on the back of the counter (although in real life she was discarded in 1938). I assume that notwithstanding her real life fate, if for example, Mexico enters the war in 1941, she is placed on the map (because she has no sunk date on the counter)?

1) This is just an error. I suspect that Espana was the only Spanish ship included in WIF that had a sunk date at the time that the rule was written.

2) The answer is that they go into the force pool after you add the minors units to the force pool.

3) If she has no sunk date then she is placed on the map. But I do suspect that this is an error and that she should have a sunk date. Anyone know if the latest version of this counter has a sunk date?

RAC: 19.4 Minor country units
....
After a minor country has aligned with you, you can choose to add its units (those not yet set-up) to your major power’s force pools. You can do this at any time while the minor is not conquered (incomplete or complete) but, once you do, its units must always go into your force pools as they become available. From then on, you can only voluntarily remove them from your pools by production (see 13.6.5), or scrapping (see 13.6.9).
