Can a damaged battleship still do a bombardment?

@Panther said in Can submarine go through a contested seazone?:

While Combat is considered simultaneous Combat Movement is not.

While you answered the scenario correctly, only the quoted sentence is not correct.
Page 12 Pacific 1940.2 rulebook says: “All combat movement is considered to take place at the same time.”
Here the submarines move from seazone A to C at the same time as the rest of the fleet moves from seazone A to B.

Than you Panther for pointing that out. Then perhaps I have been misusing a scenario. I will open a new thread not to hijack this one.

In case you do a SL:

With a BB alive paired with your CR you will need two additional Ftr’s and have a 90% chance to win and deflect a scramble. If you add a DD you make it to 98% chance of winning the sea battle.

With a BB alive + CR + CV you will need to add one Ftr to make arround a 94% chance of winning the sea battle. Add another Ftr to come close to a 100% chance.

Without a BB you will have to add more Planes and/or newly bought units/ships to make a Allied scramble less likely.

Example:
The CR + 3x Ftr’s + a CV to have a 94% chance.

However, a surviving BB is allways helpful and is a high valuable piece.
But it depends on how you will use it.
If you are able to keep it, combined with a few ships and planes who are watching over it, making a Allied early tactical landing on ATL side less possible and the US player has to spend more IPCs for the ATLantic.
Less stress for Axis Germany.

If the BB is gone and not at hand, you will have to buy units to protect the coastline and purchase a  DD blocker every now and then to prevent quickly build US strongolds on European side.

Thank you very much iv been wondering for a while  :-D

Well i was misinformed then.Do you think there is going to be a “global edition” or something that improves on AAG in the near future or do you think that AA42 is the standard and AAG is the deluxe for the next 5+ years ( excluding AA50 reprint )

Transports are automatically destroyed only when they are defenseless.  This means that something is still shooting at them and they either have no protection or cannot retreat.  Attacking transports are very seldom defenseless, as they can usually retreat.  See the AAP40 FAQ for further information.

Peck is right.  Transports may not unload after retreating.

Thanks Kreighund, guess I’ve gotten’ so wrapped up in new Alpha rules, I forgot about the rule books….

@anderb:

attackung true neutrals is plain stupid. best way to lose a game.

:-D

mine was only a question of “if I were to attack as I do …” neutral attack is inconvenient for both sides, especially because the axis has no men to cover additional fronts … this is clear.
