Question about transports

We used a red marker to paint the tips of some old AA guns to denote rockets. We did it mainly to remember you have rockets. It really sucks when you forget to fire them, it happens every now and again. You could also paint them another color to denote radar.

Welcome, Wileyone!

The transport dies, whether or not the sub submerges.

The important thing to understand about the defenseless transport rule is that it’s basically there to keep you from having to roll round after round of dice when the outcome is inevitable. The Soviet fighter would eventually hit the transport if the battle continued. It’s just a matter of time.

Well the first game actualy had this as a example.
Although this is the 3th game in the series ( ignoring the non global games ) those rules have never changed afaik. The wording isnt at least so this would make them the longest stable rules in the game 😛

When germany captures russia while germany itself is in UK hands germany gets all of russia’s money but cannot spend it. This is the only way to have cash without having a capital.
I think that was about the wording in that manual but it has been a while so it might not be a exact quote.

as long as they can make it to the Sea Zone the Carrier is placed in.  Yes.  Just move them there in the Non Combat Movement phase.

@LT04:

@Frontovik:

also: if your troops aren’t on the sohre, how could the battleships killed them?
a question i’m still wondering about
perhaps the battleships shoot birds, with bombs on them, the same way birds carry coconuts

They would have to be swollows.  Now are they African or Europian?

I Don’t know that    waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!

No.  Air units can never capture territories, or land in newly captured territories.

@Sgt.:

But, can you move a fighter in non-combat to a territory which borders a seazone with a newly built carrier and have it land on said carrier? I’m guessing not.

You’re guessing correctly.  The fighter must end its movement in the sea zone in order to land on the carrier.

artillery attack on a 2 inf on a 1. If you have an artillery and a inf both attacking the inf gets boosted to 2. 1 arty can only boost 1 inf

Inf and arty defend at 2 by themselves. Inf are cheaper. You need inf for defense as well as for the attack bonus. You also need inf for cannon fodder and blockers.

Once you get some arty just buy inf to replace your losses and try and maintain a 1:1 ratio. If on defense you probably want more of a 2:1 or even 3:1 ratio. Depends on your situation. If you’re really under pressure a lot of people will go all inf for max defense.

I’ve always liked to be able to do small counterattacks when possible though. It’s nice to have a couple planes so you can at least do some minor counterattacks.

Best thing is to set it up and give it a go : )

you might want to read through the after action reports a couple threads above you. probably some good info there for ya
