Does a canal require a transport and another transport question?

Well that all depends on what you guys are offering before I toss JC back into the pot.

There is no such thing as a “dumb” Newbie question.
Only the question of; “a dumb Newbie” is plausible.
And if a Newbie is asking for advice on this site, then he may not be dumb,
Gullible maybe, but certainly not dumb.  😛

This observation is coming from a guy who calls himself; Crazy Ivan!

Please ignore the crazy man, he has had 4 hours of sleep in the past 30 hours  😮

:-D……Gaming, gaming, gaming… 😛

Sankt is correct.  The SUB may still chose to leave the SZ in COMBAT movement phase of their upcoming turn.  However, if the SUB does not combat mvoe out, then Comabt will occur with the new fleet.

No it is not.

But the current turn the discussion is taking WOULD be a very good thread to have going if properly identified.

My post was to encourage taking that very positive discussion to a new thread where it would be appropriate, and far more widely read.

Right here.

You roll 1 Die for each unit.
So with 10 inf you will roll 10 dice. The reward in the big stack of inf is that you have 1 dice to roll and so more chance on a hit then if you just roll 1 die.

@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.

The statement had been made that AA can fire at aircraft flying over them.  Which is true if the AA is on land.  But if that AA gun is at sea on a TRN, then the AF can fly right over it and ignore the TRN, the AA, and anything else below them on the seas.

… this fact is clarified on page 30 of the Operations Manual, in the Transports section.  “Land units on a transport are cargo; they cannot attack or defend while at sea.”
