Trnsport casualties

I have been playing G40 for a while now and it seems to me like there are not many options for the russians. Usually it ends up as one big russian stack slowly moving back and one big german stack slowly moving forwards until they either take moscow, or fail. Is playing this way wrong and what are some strategies as both the germans and the russians that dont use big stacks and make the eastern front more dynamic.

@Warsaw44 said in G40 - Bombing A Naval Base:

… does it count as a movement to enter the territory the base is on …

Yes.

@Warsaw44 said in G40 - Bombing A Naval Base:

… or is the naval base considered part of that seazone therefore saving a movement?

No. The rulebook leaves no room for such an interpretation.
See Europe 1940.2, page 27:

“Naval bases can be built on controlled territories with a coastline, including islands. Only one facility of each type (industrial complex, air base, and naval base) may exist in each territory.”

and page 28:

“All sea zones that border a territory containing an operative naval base …”

Welcome to the forum :-)

heh heh I only checked the Pacific rules :)

You were not wrong to check the Pacific rulebook, there it is on pages 14 and 36.

The fighter+sub bid in the Med is interesting

No one else does as of yet. Although I have seen people do the same attack but with 2 fighters from London. Which is highly dangerous. One game I was playing axis and was disappointed to have 2 hits.

Ta you two, that was what i was assuming!

The point of who it helps is not really a big concern in my opinion. At least not in a game as big as G40. If They made the rules to make the defender the strongest, then the two forces would be standing right next to each other. if they made the rules so that the attacker is the strongest, then the two forces would deadzone each other.

there are so many rules and effects that help the attacker or defender, Order or casualties is probably one of the least important. More important include: unit stats, planes cannot land on taken terretory, planes needs carriers or airbases to defend a seazone, retreating gives you an extra round of production in your stack while removing one from your enemy, taking a capitol gives you all of the money, etc…

@Krieghund:

Yes, they can.

Is it possibile to have kamikaze aircrafts? Let me explain: can i use aircrafts to conduct attacks at sea that they have no possibility of return?

No. You must be able to land, even if that landing site is pending a naval battle or non combat carrier move or sea zone build.

Japan has a special Kamikaze attack that is activated by the allies under specific conditions, but it does not involve normal air units on the board. These are 6 one time attacks on enemy ships excluding subs and transports.

See: page 21 AAEurope 1940 bottom paragraph under “Air Units” third bullet point, last sentence: “You can’t deliberately move an air unit out of range of a potential safe landing space.”

See also: page 13 AAEurope 1940 first paragraph under “Air Units” first sentence: “An air unit that moves in the Combat Move phase must generally reserve part of its move value for the Noncombat Move phase, at which point it must return to a safe landing spot using its remaining movement.”

Note: This is not an official answer, just being helpful.

Thank you. :-)
