Can ships do bombarding attack if user builds new sea force?

@Panther oh lol duh, me! Thank you for taking the time to read and answer, Panther. I appreciate it greatly. Thanks, and have a great day and/or game if you’re playing!

@Mrmann

yep it’s sunk or “you sunk my battleship” heh heh

welcome to the boards

Cruisers don’t have any AAA-capabilities. What are you referring to?

The Carrier and the Fighter (defending in the air) each have a shot against the attackers according to their respective defense value (2 and 4).

In most cases, you just want to lose in order from the least valuable unit to the most valuable.

Exception;

If you are the defender and you have 1 destroyer and 1 cruiser

The attacker has 2 subs and hits you 1 time

If you lose the destroyer, you are vulnerable to a surprise shot during the next round, and you would not get a reply, so losing the cruiser before the destroyer might be the smartest move.

Another example;

You have 3 bombers and 2 infantry.  Enemy attacks you with 2 fighters and 1 bomber and hits you 2 times.  You may want to lose one or more expensive bombers (defend;1) before infantry, in the hopes of keeping the better defenders alive now to drive off the enemy as the combat rounds go on.  Once all the bombers are dead, however, the enemy will probably just leave.

Another example;

AAA guns cost 5 but they can’t fight after they do their special shot, so lose them first no matter what.

…

Carriers are weak attackers, and expensive, but in some editions they do have 2 soak hits.  However, if you lose or damage a carrier first, they cannot collect planes after the battle, reducing your defensive posture and possibly giving your planes no where to land. While Battleships should always soak a hit first, carriers probably should not.  Note that losing carriers first keeps your combat power high (attack 1 or 0 lost vs losing a cruiser or fighter at 3).  It can be tempting to dump the carrier first, but you may regret this after combat is fully resolved…

And use subs to block USA sending help to UK.

I thought since a destroyer nullifies a subs specials that meant it could see the sub and would have to engage in battle since the sub would not have an option to submerge.

I guess it comes down to the choice of the destroyer.

Thanks again wittmann.

My friends and I games this weekend should go much more smoothly with all this additional “verified” info.

@Baron:

I like this terms: “ambitious attack”, even if it is misspelled from “amphibious” it said quite about what it takes to accomplish it.

If we throw in an additional typo, we’d get an interesting title for a house rule discussion thread: “Should it be possible to use unclear weapons to support an ambiguous assault?”

they look really good

and I play A&A only with that kind of aiding cards, it’s something that should be part of the material in the game box
