Fighter question

@RYNO87 said in Fighter and aircraft carrier questions:

If a fighter in EASTERN US wants to land on a carrier in SZ13, is that 2 moves or 3 bc you count the landing?

You don’t count the landing.
Rulebook 1941, page 23: “In other words, each time an air unit crosses a boundary between spaces, whether territories or sea zones, it uses 1 movement point.”
So your scenario takes two movement points.

Also, can you place a new fighter on a carrier adjacent to a industrial complex or does it have to start at the IC.

Rulebook 1941, page 20: “Place fighters either in territories containing eligible industrial complexes, or on your aircraft carriers in sea zones (even hostile ones) adjacent to such territories. You can even place new fighters on an aircraft carrier currently being mobilized. However, you cannot place a new fighter on a carrier owned by a friendly power.”

I have moved your topic to the 1941 forum.

Thanks Midnight_Reaper this clears up the question. (Sorry I didn’t get back sooner, but I actually forgot that I had posted this question.)

Personally, I’ m more interested in WW II scenarios, so I don’t know other ‘physical’ WW I-boardgames.
But there is a map called “Great War” covering WW I to be played using the TripleA software.
If interested, learn more about TripleA in the software subforum:

Witt is correct. But just to add that if you are transporting your own units (rather than an allies’) you can indeed load and unload in the same turn. Witt mentions the 2 move per turn limit in this regard, which may (of course) mean that you have not reached your final destination.

Welcome indeed to our forum jalk65.

Thnx !! much appriciated :)

Happy to help.  Enjoy your new game.

Thanks for the responses guys.  NIce to know the pieces are interchangable between games.  I have played another game since and we all seemed to make lots of mistakes.  An experienced player would smash a new person at this game.

smanifesto I will probably do exactly as you have done and get a pieces from other games.  It was getting frustrating having to constantly look for new units and swap chips around.  I’m also with you on customizing the game a bit.  We already have a house rule that battleships have to return to a factory to be repaired at the start of your next turn when damaged.

Great, that resolves a long disputed aspect with my gaming group. Thanks for the prompt and helpful reply.
