Just curious. I usually let him stick around for 1 turn of combat.

Good poll options. I picked “submerge if get 2 or more hits average”. The US sub is very useful for harassing the valuable sea zone east of Japan. With a UK sub at New Guinea to threaten French Indochina, Japan’s forced to either keep its fleet at home, or build a destroyer and go hunting.

So happy to finally get the clarification on this. It’s been bugging me. As usual, it’s in the rulebook somewhere, just needed to find it!

Can a transport unload in the same sea zone as an enemy sub?

@coorran:

@Keredrex:

@football2006:

Just so I’m not second guessing myself, if there was a destroyer blocking you, you could still perform an amphibious assault if you aided the transport with fighters, right?

you can always make an amphibious assault with a transport… as long as the attacker wins whatever naval combat occurs in the SZ. if a Destroyer and a transport attack a SZ for amp assault and there is an enemy destroyer there, combat occurs. as long as the enemy is sunk, you can continue to amp assault the territory. If its survives then your transports are sunk as they do not have any combat (or defense) roll.

Not true, the attacking TRN can retreat.

After the combat round is finished, yes it can retreat.

But there are a lot of weird situations: imagine there’s a SZ containing an enemy sub and a destroyer and that you send the transport to make a landing, along with 2 fighters to clear the SZ. Since the enemy sub can’t hit the planes if it rolls a hit on 1 you’ll have to remove the transport as a casualty.

Hey coachofmany I visited your site which is pretty cool. Which grey chips match up best with the chips from AA42, Battle of the Bulge or the Pacific 40, or are they all the same?
I want to place an order shortly.

Well, earlier I stated “USA.” But, now I’m feeling the Germany energy. There’s never a dull moment with Germany. It’s the hot seat.

Russia can get a hot as Germany.

German naval buys aren’t looking good in this game–12$ bombers and defenseless transports make them much harder here than in Revised.

If Germany buys a Med destroyer, and sits in 14, UK can still muster 2 figs 1 bomb for a UK1 attack by moving the AC up into 15 (assuming Germany committed air to killing the destroyer in 15, which is fairly risky unless Germany uses 2 or more planes). This is risky for UK, but even if they get diced they will kill enough that Russia mops up the rest on R2.

If Germany buys an AC, then I guess UK holds off on a UK1 attack. But what UK can do is buy 2 bombers, and fly its figs to West Russia or West Africa. Then rally all land forces in Jordan. So now, if Germany lands Egy G2, UK attacks UK2. 3 figs, 3 bombers attack 2 figs 1 ac 1 bb.

The Med fleet is doomed. I’d recommend attacking Egy on G1…at least that forces UK to either counter immediately or lose Africa, and this counter takes some pressure off Japan.

I filled my gaps concerning that Doolittle guy but I found Japan’s answer to the raid far more interesting. Balloon bombs ? Sounds more like in a SF movie than a real WW2 story.
btw : Is there a way to play AAE1940 by EMail right now ?

If you already have AA50 and Revised, what's the point of buying AA1942?

It is not worth getting without Italy. Italy has set the standard now. Its not a real A&A game without it.

Yes. Italy is awesome.
