Hello

Because we don’t master the english language completely, I need some help for explaining.
For the influence roll can the CCP player spend as much IPP as he has in cash. Or is it restricted to the initial influence roll x2.
for example: at the beginning of the game the influence roll is 1, can you add as much IPP as you want or max 1+1?

Spreading influence on the CCP ref. cheet:

“During the Place Units Phase, CCP may make one influence roll on a warlord adjacent to a CCP-possessed land zone. If the roll is less than or equal to the total number of adjacent land zones CCP Possesses, all remaining land zones and military units of that warlord Align with CCP. Prior to rolling, CCP may spend IPP up to the amount of its original influence roll to increase the chance of success. Each IPP spent subtracts 1 from the influence roll. Regardless of how much is spent, “Spreading Influence” backfires on a “12” causing the warlord to Align with KMT instead”

Thanks in advance

When does submarines resurface? I find a lot of information about submerging, but I can’t find anything about resurfacing.
I think there are 3 main possibilities:

1. At the start of your turn.
2. At the start of each nations turn.
3. They stay submerged until you use them for an attack/convoy raiding/… .

I want to know if it is possible by the english player to make a gap for the american player?

What are your thoughts?

Greetings

I think there is a problem in the game.
Case: germany declares war to belgium. GB, rolls 2D12 but not triggers wartime income. So it cannot declare war. France rolls 2D12 and reaches wartime income. Then France declares war on Germany. Britain is still at peace because according to the rules they need wartime income to declare war OR France/Poland is attacked by axis/USSR.

Because France is at war, Poland ALIANGS to GB.

In my point of view this must be controlled. Because britain is not at war with Germany.
But I think it is strange it even happens, because France is the aggresor, not Germany.

What do you guys think?

@gen-manstein Are those optional rules, because I never saw them in the book. Can you giver me a page?

@gen-manstein Escorting fighters also have a reduced attack and the bombers don’t have an attack value (only the bombing run). So I think it is well balanced that way.

“Heck you could even make bombers 2 hitters and if damaged has a reduced sbr attack.
Also loses one space movement on return.”

You lost me here
What is sbr attack and what do you mean by “loses one space movement”?

@gen-manstein I think the reduced values are kind of a translation from AAA? (maybe a bad habit to compare to AAA). In AAA interception values from planes are lowered to 1 instead of normal attack/defend values.

@insanehoshi @Noneshallpass
I’ve read the rules over and over again and I think it is clear to me now.

*Table 9-9 Strategic bombing (p.43)

1. The Attacker decides if he wants to send escorting Fighters
2. The Defender decides if he wants to scramble Fighters.
3. If Defender has scrambled Defending Fighters, there is one round of interception combat where all aircraft participate at reduced values. Any casualties are removed at the end of the Interception combat.
4. Any surviving bombers continue to their target and roll for Strategic Damage.
5. Defender rolls for inherent Facility Anti-Aircraft Artillery. One die per bomber, up to an unlimited number (not up to 3 like a normal AA unit).
6. Damage is marked and eliminated bombers removed.
7. The Attacker lands his aircraft in the Non-Combat Phase.*

Point 3 says that ALL aircraft participate (also defending bombers). So I assume the airbase is only necessary for fighters who scramble/intercept from the adjacent territorie. Wat made sence to me. Otherwise you need to build a lot of airbases.

@noneshallpass not only fighters have defending interception values. Also strategic and heavy bombers have a defending interception value. That makes me think it is not necessary, but as you say I to find the rules not explecit enough.

Hi

Do you need an airbase to intercept for a strategic or carpet bombing attack?
I think not, but I want to be entirely sure.
I can only find that you need an airbase to scramble from the adjacent territorie.

Thanks in advance
