Naval Movement
Naval operations are only possible during
the first two impulses of a given turn.
There are four types of naval units:

There are four types of naval units:
♦
Carriers: the best fighting units
♦
Escorts: surface units from destroyers
to battleships

♦
Subs: used to hunt enemy convoys

Amphib: transport ground units

Each unit is rated for strength and raid

capacity. When a ship suffers a loss it will
become damaged. A ship which is dam-

Sunk ships are permanently eliminated.

Sunk ships are permanently eliminated.
In the Navy Menu the map is displayed
with two types of boxes that contain the
various ships. The large light blue box is
the At Sea box which represents the
seven sea zones: Baltic Sea, North Sea,
North Atlantic, South Atlantic, West
Mediterranean, East Mediterranean, and
the Black Sea. The smaller light blue
boxes are the Port box. Each naval unit
can be located either in one of these sea
zones or in a friendly port. During the
impulse a naval unit can travel an unlim-
ited number of sea zones in any
combinations with entering and/or leav-
ing port. However, this must be done in
one single action, i.e. you cannot move,
use shore bombardment and move again
with the same unit. You can only enter
friendly-controlled ports. If a ship is in
port and the port is captured by the
enemy, you will receive a message that
the ship has left the port.

Restrictions on Movement
There are three narrow points on the
map where sea movement can be blocked
by the control of land hexes. A naval unit
(including subs) can move from one sea
zone to another only if a certain port is
friendly-controlled. These cases are:

Note: units in the same box will act
together as a fleet for all purposes of
search, combat, and raid. Splitting a fleet
gives a higher chance of finding the
enemy, but it is more uncertain if the
fleets can combine again in the case of
a combat.

Operational Movement
For each pool (except for Italy), one unit
can be moved up to 10 hexes in its parti-
tion, regardless of the current impulse.
Units need not be inserted next to cities.
Army groups act as supply centers and
are not allowed operational movement.
Units cannot use operational movement
if they have already moved or attacked.
No Operational Movement is allowed for
Russian units before Russian Winter
strikes, which is the first snow turn after
war is declared.

Russian Partisan Effects
on Axis Movement
on Axis Movement
There is a test against the number of
unoccupied, Axis controlled cities in
Russia during each Axis Supply Phase. If
a random number is less than the num-
ber of cities, then partisans will greatly
lower Axis supply in Russia. The chance
for partisans to appear will also increase
as the war progresses.

Air Movement
Every air unit has an integrated strength
point of ground combat units. Ground
combat strength is modified by the same
morale value as the air strength. If this
ground strength point is eliminated, the
air unit is removed. The numbers on the
air unit counter show the actual effective
air strength and the remaining number
of possible ground strikes for the
impulse. Air units can only be moved by
using Reserve or Rebase Movement. The
air range is 7 hexes to conduct a ground
strike or interception.

Reserve Air Movement
In the first two impulses you can move a
limited number of units strategically
over an unlimited number of hexes. To
do so move the cursor over the unit you
wish to move, click the left button twice
to access the unit, and select RESERVE.
Note: The unit must be placed back on
the map in the same impulse using the

the unit in a friendly-controlled hex in or
adjacent to a city which is in the same
partition as the original hex of the unit.
