UK fighter attacking German transports?

@ShadowHAwk:

Would it not be much better and simpler to state that every move should be possible before combat is rolled?
To avoid these cheesy situations. It takes the carrier the whole turn to move 2 spots so if it does not start sailing the same time the fighters would launch they would not survive anyway.

That will severely hinder some of the tactical & strategic aspects of battles and planning and remove alot of the surprises from the game.  Regardless of how a battle turns out, one of my favorite aspects of the game is the surprise move or act of desperation that wasn’t expected or accounted for.  I’m satisfied that you can’t send your planes on a one way trip, but you CAN send them on a potentially suicidal mission.

axis_roll is right, however i posted a topic on the reverse situation if you were interested to know that answer…

So the reverse:

If the defender has transports they cant be allocated as hits in any combat round. They are invisible and automatically removed from play provided the non-transports have been removed as combat loses. If the attacker does not stay long enough to kill the last combat ship the defending transports remain in place.

@U-505:

Actually, I am the first and only person ever in the history of the game to CHOOSE not to kill the Chinese fighter. Don’t try to deny me. I have proof. 😄

And for the record, what exactly do the designers have against the Flying Tigers that they would put them in such a threatened position in every game they make?

Welcome to the “I-don’t-destroy-the-chinese-figther-in-game-turn-1-club”.

This figther is no risk cause it can’t leave china.

check there for optional rules

The bonuses countering each other stuff only works if germans cannot retake Kar, but if the target is not letting germans build at kar, I agree.

Japan could leave the TR unprotected for a turn since the China Fig can not attack it and no one else can either.

That is exactly how it works with existing fighters roguepanzer.
