Aircraft carrier/ fighter question

But if you choose to stay and fight then your Subs can’t submerge during combat, because of the Destroyers’ anti-sub capabilties.

You can only build them on your own territories (that you have controlled since the beginning of your turn).

Hey, guys, when I asked Krieg about this same thing, he made a VERY interesting point.  Depending on timing, you could bomb an enemy Base and it would then be unusable to their ALLIES until the base owner’s next turn.  So you can effectively disable the capability without your enemy being able to fix it.  You heard it here first.  :-D

Ah, another advantage for Japan, just we needed… :wink:

In Pac SBR a Jap AB could be a great strat in the right circumstances because of turn order. Say Jap uses an island AB to protect its navy. The US could take the heat and SBR w/escorts. Jap will scramble its air, but hits on a 2 or less, and the battle only last 1 round (of course it sucks the US only hits on a 1). Say two US bmrs survive the dog fight and the AA guns. They only need to SBR an AB 3 points to disable it. Then UK and Anz can attack the Jap fleet w/o worrying about Jap ftrs scrambling (they’re grounded). Jap can only repair the AB on its own turn, which hasn’t come around yet. So it works both ways  :-D

Welcome to the ranks of posters, colonel.

Yes, Chinese units may move into (occupy) Kwangtung and Burma at any time, with no political consequences.

BoardGameGeek is a good place to upload files for sharing.

@gMonty:

Do air unit moves include from island/coastal territory to neighbouring sea zone? Or is this a +0 move?

It costs one movement point to cross any boundary, including from an island to its surrounding sea zone or vice versa.

@gMonty:

Can land units (with move 1) load onto and off a transport in a single movement phase?
i.e. does loading and unloading count as a move?

Yes.  Loading and/or unloading uses a land unit’s entire movement, whether it can move one or two spaces normally.  It can load, unload, or both, but it can’t move before or after doing so.

I think that you shouldn’t have to separate out your defending fighters from the SBR.  The entire escort rule is there to make it harder to SBR someone.
The only reason that I could see to NOT send your fighters up to intercept would be that you don’t want them getting shot down… but realistically they’d get shot down on the airfields anyways.
My point is that in order to SBR somebody you should really need to be in a perfect position to do so (i.e. have fighter cover) but having to select which fighters intercept the bombers and which defend the zone i think detracts from that alot.  Just because you can bring some ground forces with you to attack shouldnt mean that you can SBR at will.

The UK and ANZAC are free to move any units into Dutch territories still under Dutch control at any time, but they may only take control of them with land units.  The US is free to move any units into Dutch territories still under Dutch control only if it is at war, and it may never take control of them.  Any power may attack Japanese-controlled Dutch territories and take control of them, as long as that power is at war with Japan.

@oztea:

yea he made the best game he could
im still going to enjoy it, and keep house rules to a minnimum

I can live happily with how carriers work now, im going to keep a fleet with them at all times, but im dissapointed they dont work the way I envisoned

Hey…we cant all get our way in larrys game…

…but we CAN get our own way with HOUSE RULES! And Oz, you make a lot of great ones. I plan to try your carrier rules too and see what my friends and I like better.
