  Adding a house rule when I play next for airships. I was thinking setting it’s attack at 3 and defense at 1 with a movement of 1. any thoughts?

  I was thinking about airships too, my idea:
  Cost: 4 (I am not sure about cost)
  Move: 1
  Attack: -
  Defense: -

  It can provide air supremacy for Arty, it can not participate in dogfight, it can not strafe land units. All airships in a territory are destroyed when there are enemy fighters in that territory after the “Determine Air Supremacy” phase is over.

  Why move @ only 1?

  These things could travel great distances; certainly far enough to bomb England and land back in Germany.

  Or are you talking about these:

  Yes, I was talking about those, I was also thinking about their role in sea battles (against Subs):

  Unlike fighters, they don´t need to end their move in a territory with friendly Inf, but they can move max 3 spaces away from a territory with friendly Inf

  If there is an Airship involved in sea battle then:
  Enemy submarines can not submerge and they can not surprise attack
  Airships roll one dice against enemy Sub, hitting it at die roll of 2.
