@johnnycat Naval Mines I don’t know how to use either. There’s a rule that the only Pacific islands that can’t be fortified are New Zealand, New Guinea and Dutch New Guinea. I can edit you back the money for ANZAC if you don’t want the forts now that you know that. It’s in the rule book under Fortifications. Also forts can only be placed if you own the territory at the beginning of your turn.

If it helps in practice the best places to fortify are Philippines since Japan will eventually attack that and then it’s a common strategy for UK to take Sumatra and then start piling on more dudes in forts while Aussies do the same in Java. Some guys also build forts in Caroline Islands when playing Tojo. Hope that helps

Necessary Rule questions : @Beelee @Trout

How are Naval Mines used? There are three types

And what is the Air Transport plane used for?

Can any vehicle carry art or inf or mines and move them around the map?

How to place fortifications? ANZAC bought one but cannot seem to place it

@Trout: Before I can complete the ANZAC turn I need to know how to fortify New Guinea and how to grab those islands that are orange. My inf on transports cannot invade so maybe I need other types?? Thanks

Maybe I should have, but Italy is so weak now that I am just focused on them staying alive until G can help them. I am a bit cautious at times because of the chance of bad dice.
