@FieldMarshalGames:

Does that suggest that they will work like AAP?  Controlling the sea lanes around an island will rob the home nation of its IPCs?

They’ll work in a similar fashion, but not in exactly the same way.

@FieldMarshalGames:

Aside:  If AAP40 and AAE40 can be combined…  Will there be similar convoy control in the Atlantic / Indian Ocean?

Yes.

So I only have to own some of the area around an island?

[Guest]

Are you suggesting that you can own the ocean?

[idk_iam_swiss]

idk… not neccssarrily own…but I think the word “control” works best. yeah control the flow of goods and services in the ocean. You dont own the sea, but you decide what goes where. So for all intensive purposes you do “own it” Side note do you think the american fighters are going to be like they were in AA50? (awesome) or like they are in every other game (difficult to pick up with man sized hands)

Maybe you need a pair of tweezers.

[idk_iam_swiss]

You know thats not a bad idea…but wouldnt it get kind of annoying after a while?

[Guest]

Not as annoying as you constantly dropping the pieces.

[idk_iam_swiss]

do you use a pair of tweezers?

[Guest]

No, I am nimble enough to do it with my fingers.

It just annoys the hell out of me when my planes keep falling off my carriers. I think I might drill two holes in my carriers and put pegs in it. Then drill a small hole in my air units so they sit on the peg. I’ve heard other people say it works.

Especially the german carrier. geez the fighter is HUGE now compared to the carrier.

i’ve also heard of people using magnets, one strip on the carrier and a little one on the plane

[WILD BILL]

Yea that would work. Maybe even Velcro.

Could also be one of the many uses of duct tape LOL  :-D

[idk_iam_swiss]

but if you use tape wouldnt they get stuck?

I find most sz are large enough to hold a ftr with a stack of chips under it.  Most can surmise where they are.  I love helping people :)

[Guest]

I like the magnet idea. A +1 to johnnymarr

Actually came across a picture of someone who modded their carriers and planes w/ magnets.  Looks pretty sweet!
