What is the exact unit placement and setup for America in A&A 2nd edition, my friend lost the card for America and we want to play right now, so it would help out, thanks
@ShadowHAwk:
Can i agree with the fact that in the current rules the carrier does NOT have to move if the fighter was destroyed, but at the same time not agree with the rules itself ?
Because it is not logical that the carrier does not start its move to meet up with the figher at the same time since it it start after the figher completed its move in a normal situation it would not be there on time to catch the aircraft.
Basicaly the time it takes for the carrier to get there is the same as the time it takes for the fighter to get there and since the carrier needs to be there at the same time in order for the pilot to remain dry it logical should start sailing in the general direction of the pickup point.
Since the Fighter in question could be “flying” from Gibraltar to the Caucus in one turn, I don’t think the model of aircraft taking off and landing as part of a days flight operations on a Carrier quite applies. Especially since Naval aircraft are built very differently from land based aircraft yet the game makes no difference between the two.
Under item #2 allied fighters cannot be allocated as a hit allocation because they are not rolling on the attack so they are ignored.
Also, Under item #1 if your carrier is defending and has fighters from allied players they can be allocated as hits on defence and roll out as well.
of course some of this is totally bogus and is totally unrealistic.but oh well.
I should have gone heavy against Russia from the start with Japan, not go mess around n Canada to put even more brakes on US…
But im on the way… and Russia can´t take India if you want to keep Cauccasus…
@mozkaynak:
So, My understanding is that fighters and bombers can attack submarine by themselves and submarine can not fire back.
Please confirm that.
Correct.
@mozkaynak:
So how does submerging work here?
Subs may submerge at the end of any round of combat if there are no opposing destroyers in the battle at that point (as long as the battle is not over). They have no effect on other units while submerged, and are ignored. They resurface at the end of the noncombat movement phase, having no effect on enemy units in the sea zone at that point.
Yes, you can do the move described in the first post (move, then load, then offload).
I believe the theory behind not allowing transports to offload in two territories is the fact that deployment into significantly different areas will take time. For example - if you have a division in Alaska, and another in Western Canada, and there are no enemies nearby, you could meet up halfway and get on a transport. But if you are on a transport and offloading, that transport would have to sail to a different region to offload troops in any geographically significant other location. So FUNCTIONALLY, the transport can only offload into one territory.
sorry for your seasoned body! But indeed you need to role exactly the right number. This also makes the game fair! Other wise you would have a 100% chance to get jet fighters?
