@Baron:

Can you live with land planes with M5 vs naval planes with M4?

From a non airbase ?

Yes, AB will make land planes M6.

I could try it. I have to see what it does if japan and US get there NA island bases. With that =
Fig M5 + air b + island = M7

Yes, AB will make land planes M6.

Could finally get an escort somewhere in game maybe and with island bases for US they could escort SBR raids on oil derricks in the Dutch islands. Damage goes against Japans  income  or any other country.

I was thinking from the reverse POV on naval vs land aircraft.
Let’s suppose the basic planes are naval ones, able historically to work in all situations.
Land planes are going to be a bit better in range and maybe on A/D but costlier.

How about this?

I have to go now, I will catch up later tonight. Sorry.

These ones would be like P-38 Lightning in PTO.
Escorting some bombers.

But now after 1 turn of play testing the Tac dice n fig to strong on first round shot. 6 naval planes could take out a fleet with no return shots

[General 6 Stars]

Tac
A6 roll of 3 or less no return shot first round only
Dive
A6 roll of 3 or less no return shot first round only
N fig
A5 roll of 2 or less no return shot first round only

Personnaly, I’m not a big fan of first shot, except for AAA or very special cases, like Barney and I developed for Destroyer patrol vs Subs.

I once playtested Fg attacking first strike @1 vs plane first.
I did not like it because it delayed the game everytime these Fg were attacking.

So, what made you like it and saw it fitting for you planes?

The reason why is for out of the stack of planes you are rewarded with a more accurate shot amongst a group of planes.
Like some planes have torpedos some have clusters of bombs. Its for both.

[General 6 Stars]

Could take it away and make it roll of 3 or less can pick target with a return shot. But its more for if they get that accurate shot they can destroy the ship, Tank, General or AAA gun before it defends a shot. In another game its like that but with a return shot.

You can put your suggestions inside quote box to the right of values on same lines if you want.
But I would like to keep Stg., H. bombers where there at for now.
Also destroyers cant really block no more.

I pretty agree on the basics.

IMO, even Dive Bomber can attack AA, from Carrier base.
What do you think about rising power of TcB like this?:

Tac Bomber (cannot land on Carrier but can land on islands)
A7  Can pick target with a return shot. But ground units only.
D5   Can pick target with return shot. But ground units only.

Im good with these changes.
What about a naval fig. Can that land on land also ?

Ok Im good with these. Ill try in game now.

Thank you

[baron Münchhausen]

Hope you will like them.
From my POV, there are more similar to a few comparative capacities.
I think that land-based Fgs can load a bit more armaments or payloads and have an higher range because carrier-based Fgs are smaller so have less room for fuel and rockets and small bombs.

Hence, I rise attack to 6 and range to 5 for land-based Fgs.

The 11 IPCs cost is from a game POV, it is easier to pay an higher cost with a more specialized aircraft which cannot land everywhere.

It is up to you to decide if a few or all aircrafts on TTs are considered land-based.
IMO, a few setup Fgs should remain naval (even on TTs) to keep versatile play on round 1 and 2.

I like these too:

Ok. Will see. Ty
Just trying to get to historical to a certain point.

Yes. But with D12s and more units clearly improve the possibilities to be more historical.

[baron Münchhausen]

What do you think about this little change on Move:
