[Ghostglider]

I need OOL in Kweichow:
China is attacking with 1 FTR - defenders: 2 Strategic bombers + 1 tactical bomber.
China hit in round 1…

[Ghostglider]

In z33:
2 US FTRs on 1 ANZ AC.
in z110:
1 UK Ftr alone on US AC

[Me1945]

Lose strategic bomber.

[Me1945]

Up to 5 Ger planes can legally attack TTs in sz91. 3 from London with 2 ACs sz112 > 109 or new buy ACs giving landing spots. Plus 2 planes from sz112 or W Ger , if just one sub attacks sz110 fleet because per rules you may assume that all of your attacking rolls will be hits, and all defending rolls will be misses [p29 Europe]. With this assumption Germany can demonstrate a safe landing spot on AC moving sz113 > 104 in NCM phase. Am I missing anything?

[Me1945]

It is on page 30.

[Ghostglider]

I dont have map here, so I can not comment on actual sz, but correct regarding 1 sub attack is allowed to assume win against 1000BB’s - as long as you are ready to make any surviving planes without actual landing spots crash.

[boldfresh]

Absolutely correct.

[JDOW]

I don’t think it gives anybody an advantages if I tell as it does not make sense to attack with 7 planes, so I tell that I think you could get all 7 in.
All WGR, 112 and UK air could land on one of the existing carriers can’t they? plus buying one AC in 109 or 93.

[boldfresh]

actually there are 8 planes that can reach 91 since you wanted to mention it specifically JDOW.  only 1 acc would have to be purchased, yes.

[JDOW]

true, overlooked the stealth tac in UK.

[Ghostglider]

I agree with Bold - You did miss something when you mentioned that up to 5 planes could attack z91…  8-)

[Me1945]

OK. Thanks.
