  • Am I not allowed to let it die?

    No the rules say you are obligated to catch planes if you can. Also, you can’t attack a sea zone with planes if there is no chance of being able to catch them on non-combat moves (enemy ships blocking).


  • Huh, you’re right! Relevant passages from the rulebook:

    “An air unit’s movement in any complete turn is limited to its total move value. Thus, a strategic bomber with a move value of 6 can’t move 6 spaces to get to a hostile space. It must save enough movement points to get to a friendly territory where it can land. A fighter or tactical bomber can move its full 4 spaces to attack in a sea zone instead of saving movement, but only if a carrier could be there for it to land on by the conclusion of the Mobilize New Units phase.” [this is the rule I was going off of, which doesn’t seem to require that you actually go and get the bugger.]

    “You must have a carrier move, remain in place, or be mobilized (new carriers only) to pick up a fighter or tactical bomber that would end its noncombat movement in a sea zone. You can’t deliberately move an air unit out of range of a potential safe landing space.” [this rule prevents the shenanigans I thought I could pull.]

    My apologies; edit a carrier from 36 to 61 and add the tac back, I suppose. Thanks for keeping me honest!

    No problem! If you could do it I definitely wouldn’t have bought 2 defenseless tps haha


  • Haha, fair enough. And here I was thinking I was so clever…  :-P

    You said 36 but I assume you meant 39 (India)?


  • Ah, yes. The sz numbers are hard for me to read, sorry.
