Wheatbeer (axis) vs vance (allies) G40 A3

[wheatbeer]

Japan seized it this turn and all combat is simultaneous, I don’t think that is possible.

[wheatbeer]

The rules say the planes attempts to land occur at the start of NCM before the acting player does his/her NCM.

[wheatbeer]

*attempt

[wheatbeer]

“Air units based on a defending carrier must land on the same carrier if possible after the battle.  If that carrier is destroyed or damaged in combat, they must try to land on a different friendly carrier in the same sea zone, move one space to a friendly carrier or territory, or be destroyed.  This movement occurs during the Noncombat Movement phase, before the acting player makes any noncombat movements” (pg. 29)

[wheatbeer]

If you thought the planes could land in FIC whether or not Japan invaded FIC, I guess I can cancel my invasion of FIC.

I would point out though, it wouldn’t make any sense for the planes to land during combat since they would then be defending twice, once at sea and once at land.

[Guest]

OK I see now that you can take FIC (Yikes!).  How about if you roll and I will call OOL.

[Guest]

OK so for that first roll I will lose 2 destroyers, 3 cruisers, 1 carrier, 1 tac, 1 ANZAC fig.  That makes 9 I think.

[wheatbeer]

I was a little confused.  But even at Midway, I would have blocked SZ16 unless you built a naval base.

[wheatbeer]

I probably would have attacked SZ36 no matter what the US did just to make sure none of those planes could reinforce Russia or naval units threaten Italy.

[wheatbeer]

If you want a rematch, by the way, I am certainly willing to play as Axis again.

[Guest]

Frig, I also just realized I can’t reach you with those bombers. I can hit the sea zone, but not the mainland.  I guess the SBR is off.  Apologies.

Oh well let’s see how it goes another round or so (although I think i just lost this game).
