Q: Aircraft carriers and fighters

@burmaboi The rules consistently use the term “into” when referencing the ending space of a unit’s move and “through” when referencing spaces passed through along the way. So, an air unit must conduct combat if it moves “into” an enemy-occupied space, but not “through” one (other than being fired upon by AA guns). Also, on page 14, the rules mention AA guns in “flown over” territories, which indicates that enemy-occupied territories may be moved through, and the Official Rules Clarifications make the same reference on page 2 in point 6 regarding AA guns.

FYFM?

US carrier on A1 is bad imo. I am a huge fan of the all inf build or 1 transport and rest inf on A1. This is because you can place your inf on the west coast and move them to wcan and on t3 you ship them all to europe and keep your shuck shuck optimal

@Yanny:

Heres how I would do it.

Russia: Buy 3 Tanks 3 Fighters

I think he meant 3 arm & 3 inf(24 IPCs as compared to his 41 IPCs purchase above.)

He just got a lil excited.
He’s an A&A Addict, y’know! 😛

But that’s 😎

I still believe that using Russia’s fighters to destroy the German Battleship and transport in Southern Italy is the best start in keepin Germany off of the water. It is difficult enough for the UK to deal with the German Air Force when trying to build up sea units, however if Germany is completely off of the water then the UK can use the tatic of buying a carrier and one transport for their sea space. This of course must be followed by the USA complimenting the carrier with two fighters. Afterwards not even four fighters and a bomber from Germany will attempt to keep the UK off of the water. The risk of losing four fighters for Germany is too great.

Therefore, it seems natural, to me, to use the fighters to start the movement to keep Germany off of the water and out of Africa. Let me know what you think.

Sorry my friend.
Your planes’ll crash into the sea before your factory launches your AC. After non-combat move, all movement is final - any planes that can not land crash, no matter what you place afterwards. You may have to have an ally park his/her planes on your carrier.
Sorry.

SUD,
Well said! Good and thorough.
Another way to put it in short form is…
During Combat Movement,
and I quote, "(i)f moving 2 territories, the 1st territory your tank moves through must be controlled by you or a member of your alliance, unless you ‘blitz.’ "[A&A Game Play Manual (Second Edition, p. 13, para. 3, lines 2-5)].

all three of the above are correct, they’re not playing you as your friend did
