L21 #2 ArtofWar1947 (AX+12) vs. Trulpen (AL) PTV

    @trulpen

    Scramble 3 fighters of SZ32.

    Scramble to Marshall Islands from CVs not allowed as there are no Japanese land units of them. If wrong, will reconsider.

    Interesting. As the notes say, particularly with carrier-scramble it needs land-units in defence. As opposed to land-scramble from an airbase.

    I’ll check the rules here in the forum to confirm.


  • @trulpen

    According to the Notes: A carrier may scramble one plane to battles in adjacent sea zones/territories where there are defending surface warships or land units.


  • That’s what it says, so I guess we have to use it.

  • @trulpen

    The US infantry and Art attacking Wake Is. were hidden, and–unlike Marshall Islands, there was no question about a CV scramble to defend Wake. So, no scramble from Wake.


  • @artofwar1947

    It’s generally a good idea to give your opponent a chance to respond before starting a battle.

    Sink all sea vessels, except damaged BB.

    Sorry, I think I wrote Marshall, but meant Wake. Asked about scramble to z32 and awaited your response.

    I’ll change the battle-setup, although it’s a bit cumbersome. I’ll have to restart the battle with 3 less figs. I’ll therefore run a new battle for the defence-dice, so they’re correct and I won’t have to adjust dice afterwards.


  • That means that another attack-roll will be made, but those dice will be disregarded.
