Rule 3F, Isolation of Interventionist Units

Question:
Should we extend the above ruling to the case of Interventionist units tracing isolation *from* mainland Spain back to their off-map full general supply source? Or are Interventionist units intended to always be isolated when fighting the SCW and thus generating no special replacement points due to losses?

Answer:
Yes, the same ruling applies as Interventionist units are clearly not intended to always be isolated in Spain: note that 40B4 specifies that when unisolated German and Italian units are eliminated that the special replacements received are com RPs. There would be no reason for this if they were always supposed to be isolated.

Rule 3F, Isolation

Question:
The Balearics, Canaries, and Morocco seem to be hopelessly isolated in this game. Is this correct?

Answer:
No. Consider the following official errata:

“A unit in the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, or Spanish Morocco is not isolated if an overland supply line (of any length) can be traced from the unit to any friendly-owned and functioning port from which a naval-element line of supply can be traced back to a Rebel full general supply source. For the purpose of this rule, a naval-element supply line may be traced from any port (not just major/great ports as specified in 12B4).

Example: The Insurgents have units on Mallorca (one of the Balearic Islands) and own the functioning port of Palma there. However, the Insurgent player is unable at this time to trace a naval-element supply line from Palma back to an Insurgent full general supply source. The Insurgent units on Majorca are therefore isolated.”
