Quick Question

Disregard the first post, I need to update for the new SE set up and rules.  Something of sufficient quality with both rule changes and setup should be stickied for those who bought AAP40 earlier.

The sea zone is hostile.  The transport must leave the sea zone in combat movement, unless other US units attack the destroyers.  In any case, no units may be loaded there.

Welcome, theSonalsorises!

No.  UK still controls Malaya.  If Japan captured Malaya, then another Allied power recaptured it while Japan still held India, that power would then control Malaya and could build an IC there.

The AA50 game we just finished the US bombed the hell out of Germany. We used the unit counter chips (red-5, gray-1) to show damage. It worded ok. Even if there is a mix-up and chips go flying (which happened) you tend to remember how many damage there was. What seems to get mixed up is how many tanks vs inf you had. Even if you had different colors to show damage (good idea), you might need two damage colors to show increments, other wise you could have towers in some cases. For at least 2-3 rounds Germany was damaged into double digits.

Nevermind - the answer is on pg. 16.  Looks like attacking air units can either be chosen to defend against the scramble (i.e. participate in the sea battle), or can ignore the scramble and assist in the amphib assault - but cannot do both.

@Gravy:

Can I move my carriers into a sea zone that has 2 enemy subs in it in order to land my fighters on them during non-combat phase.

Also do subs get to fire at surface ships that move thru their sea zones. I know they get to fire at transports but not sure about surface ships.  Thanks

Yes, if there is no enemy surface warship present, you can always choose to ignore enemy subs (and transports) during movement in combat or noncombat.

No.

ahh, thank you… :-)

Yes playing by myself is a real bummer, trying to find people in my area “Nashville”.  Good new is my son and my son-in-law both will be moving here some time this year.  Until then I have no choice but to play myself.  The good news is I win every time.  The bad is news is I loose just as many……
