Hi! I just figured that there already seem to be pretty good summaries of LHTR vs. the original Revised rulebook. LHTR seemed like the best comparison point since those transport rules seemed to revert largely back to the timing in Classic.
Question about carrier and plane movement
-
I recently played against someone who claimed that carriers could move two spaces then launch their planes, which could then move four additional spaces. I thought that fighters had to take off from the carrier at the beginning of the turn; how does this work?
-
This person was either ignorant of the rules or trying to cheat you.
-
If you have the rules clarification, it says a few times that this is not true. You cannot alter a fighter’s range by moving the carrier first.
-
he was playing you.
-
all three of the above are correct, they’re not playing you as your friend did
