The punch outs are to assist folks (probably younger players) to keep track of where planes took off from, so that they only move a maximum of their alloted spaces.
Most folks track this in their heads and complete the AF move from memory…
“The Western FIG that fought in Karelia returns to Western”
instead of a 1 chip in Baltic, a 2 chip in Karelia, a 3 chip in Baltic and a 4 chip in Western.
Yeah that’s what I figured, but wasn’t sure. Thanks
I also have a question:
In an amphibious assault, can a Battleship bombard a land with only air units? What I’m saying is, can bombardment hits attack air units?
I don’t remember finding a rule against it… but I’ll have to check…
Revelade…
The DEFENDER is the one who would choose what unit was whacked by the BB shot. He COULD choose an aircraft… don;t know why you would want to, but the defender could choose to do so.
Of course, if the territory has ONLY aircraft in it when the assault begins, then YES, the BB shot would take out an AF (think of it as the AF flying coastal patrol and getting taken out by the BB that is in close to shore)
ncscswitch, if my Aircraft were close enough to get shot down by AA Fire then I would attack them…

GG, I think Revelade’s question was whether or not he could kill enemy AF with BB support shots, and the answer to that is YES :-)
I think it was ambiguous in the box rules or something where it says you can only bombard land units, but I think in LHTR it says any unit and that’s the way it’s been played for a while…
I’ve allways allowed planes to be shot down in shore bombardment. I don’t see why they wouldn’t…
I realize that… And I know that it is possible… I was just helping him deduct a better house rule… :|
