6.3.6 Movement From Map To Map
Movement between Europe and the Colonies is only possible by ship. To reach those countries 'jump-off points' are used.
If you manoeuvre a ship/fleet onto a jump-off point and stop it there at the end of the turn it will continue its journey to the corresponding point on the other map and be there at the start of the next turn. If a ship/fleet stops on a jump-off point unexpectedly because of a mistake it will not move to the other map (see list of possible mistakes below).
| Jump-off Points (x is the horizontal axis on the map) | ||||
| Europe->Caribbean | x-1/y-11 to 20 | Caribbean->Europe | x-40/y-71 to 80 | |
| Europe->India | x-1/y-41 to 50 | India->Europe | x-51/y-81 to 90 | |
| Red Sea->India | x-65 to 66/y-65 | India->Red Sea | x-51/y-75 to 76 | |
| Caribbean(E)->India(SW) | x-40/y-86 to 90 | India(SW)->Caribbean(E) | x-56 to 60/y-99 | |
| Caribbean(W)->India(NE) | x-1/y-91 to 95 | India(NE)->Caribbean(W) | x-90/y-71 to 75 | |
| Caribbean(SW)->India(SE) | x-8 to 12/y-99 | India(SE)->Caribbean(SW) | x-90/y-88 to 92 | |
Possible Mistakes :
-Ship/fleet is stopped by an enemy
-No more movement points
-The ship would have moved over the edge of the map and is stopped on the edge
As these mistakes prevent movement through the jump-off points you must plan your ship movement carefully.
Notes:
Ships and Fleets that are leaving one map to go to another, via the jump-off points, leave the current map that they are on immediately after the order in which they moved. They arrive on the other map after the movement section -18- is complete. So, it might be a good idea to move any fleets that may be under threat of attack into a jump-off point in an early movement order.
If a ship or fleet moving into a jump-off point meets an enemy then they will not move to the other map, but will stay on the current map and fight the battle which is generated.
By moving from one map to another there is a 75% chance that ships will lose an additional 1% of their condition through attrition.
