If Japan attacks J1, putting the US at war, do they have a Major IC to place with US1? Or does it happen during the collect income phase, like the bonuses, making it operational US2?

@AndrewAAGamer I’m not suggesting players should only buy battleships; I’m just saying they still have value in the game. My personal preference is for a balanced navy. While I still buy 3-4 times more carriers, I like BB for amphibious assaults and to absorb the first hits in any battle.

…And if you’ve never gone up against a misguided player, you really need to meet my friends. :grin:

the rules ensure that the TTs cant really do double duty that way (you can use them twice but its not faster) though it is fun to imagine bringing along an extra transport during the US cross to load up those brave, brave, no-combined arms Frenchies from North Africa. Or brits. The rules just make it too choppy to implement very well.

A much better exploit is

flying into the attack with fighters u moved 4
landing them planes on an allied carrier, then it moves 3
then it gets attacked, you help defend, it blows up, you move 1 more

you moved 8 spaces with a fighter and fought twice in 1 turn lol

@elevenjerk:

Cool. Makes sense but I think (not that it means much) that planes on a carrier don’t defend in the air unless there is something to defend against. I’m new here but I’ve been reading for well over a year and I appreciate all the info given! Thanks!

If it helps justify it, imagine that they’re flying CAP, and were already in the air when the subs struck. The only time aircraft aren’t considered “in the air” is when attacking with a carrier that has a friendly plane. In all other circumstances, the airplanes are independent of the carrier (and already in the air). Not just when attacked, but even before they were attacked. Hence, Combat Air Patrol.

Buy Euro & pacific games. download the Alpha+2 rules and objectives and set ups, play both OOB and the Alpha+2 using the global rules for the OOB and the Alpha+2 rules for the other set up. I think you’ll see the diff.
I think the Alpha+2 is a better game and I like it the way it is
ENJOY

@oztea:

Krieg corrected the US one about Normandy/Bordeux

It is supposed to be if the US has it.

Thanks - that’s the kind of thing I was asking for.
