There is something in the GS 2.1 manual that doesn't seem clear to me.
"Amphibious range is now equal to 6 + surface ships tech instead of a fixed range of 10."

What does this mean? Does it mean that if a unit moves out of a port there is a limited range for invasion? i.e. if a unit sails from the U.S. it can't invade France?

Also after a successful Sealion in 41, Germans fighting in Iraq in Jan 42, and a strong Kriegsmarine - any suggestions about what the CW/US should be doing? The Brits are really hobbled by a -15 to max morale so are struggling to even hold on in Iraq. Should the U.S. go for Torch? Invade Portugal as a base? Reinforce Iraq? Hit the British Isles? Anyone experienced this? Perhaps some combination of these? Like step 1 hit Portugal and reinforce Iraq to attack back into Egypt then do Torch in 43?

Thanks

Well, after the Russians enter the war I believe British morale goes up another 10%.
As for your strategic options, that is what the game is for. Some or all are possible, it is up to you to execute.
Personally I would count on the Russians to reinforce Iraq after they enter the war and do Torch ASAP.
Someone else may very well see it differently.

Thanks shawkan for the opinion. Do you have any idea about the answer to my rules question?

amphibious range is for 'opposed' landings - i.e. attacking a land hex from a transport when the land hex is occupied

so you can do torch fine as long as you land in an unoccupied hex
