Jim vs Makalakalane

[jim010]

Ignore that last save. Was for a different game. I really need to put this away and work …

I can already see that this is going downhill for me, so I’m going to play risky (or reckless?)

[Makalakalane]

@jim010 I can’t see any save… But ok :)

[jim010]

I can’t leave planes in a sea zone even if I am going to build carriers there for them to land on?

[jim010]

Yup. Existing planes must land before build phase.

I am sorry I am not playing well.

[Makalakalane]

@jim010 no you can land your planes on carriers you just built. You just need to ignore the message and say end move phase. The planes will stay floating until you put in carriers. If you don’t put in carriers they die. If you didn’t buy any carriers they die.

[Makalakalane]

@jim010 you want me to edit something for you? Some Japanes planes out on Carriers instead of being on land in Japan, or? (I didn’t check the report)

[Makalakalane]

@jim010 ok I’m gonna play as is, then :) I changes quite a bit in the naval battle near Japan.

[jim010]

Idk … rules in the booklet are quite clear.

[jim010]

@Makalakalane

Oh yes it does indeed. Means I get wasted.

I’ll play it out and see if I get lucky.

[Makalakalane]

@jim010 you are reading it wrong… a ‘eligible landing space’ is also a seazone where you mobilize a newly purchased aircraft carrier. Trust me - I do it all the time. Let me know if you want me to edit anything. I just restarted my turn as I purchased wrong :D

[jim010]

In that case, yes, I want 4 more planes on those empty carriers.

Still. The wording is clear. It does state that the plane will be destroyed at the end of Noncombat Move phase.

[jim010]

While I admit that I always assumed it was legal, this proves otherwise. I wonder how many others on here are aware?

[Makalakalane]

@jim010 yes, if it cannot land in a ‘eligible landing space’. A seazone where you can mobilize newly bought Aircraft Carriers is a eligible landing space :) if you don’t chose to mobilize the carriers for some reason Triple A will destroy your planes after the monbilization phase.

[jim010]

Scratch that. I see a couple paragraphs up that I missed.

[Makalakalane]

@jim010 you had INSANE luck in this round. Submarine hitting 2 out of 2 1s in a battle against 1 fighter, 1 Carrier, 1 destroyer and 1 cruiser. Insane.
