[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Sorry, this is going to take some calculations. Leaning towards a big battle which will need to be turn by turn battle results.

Question: if the US carrier with the ANZAC planes participated in the big naval battle and gets killed, can the planes fly one space and find a safe landing spot in China afterwards?

Obviously Anzac planes don’t fight on USA turn, but want to know about landing rules.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Nevermind, found the answer.

“Guest aircraft belonging to a friendly power on board another power’s carrier must remain on board as cargo if the carrier moves in combat. They can’t take part in combat and are destroyed if the carrier is destroyed.”

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

scrambles?

triplea_39965_16scramble.tsvg

Will double check my moves one more time before rolling. I will re-ask scrambles if I make any edits.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Will adjust. I was wondering if you were going to do this desperation strafe to boost odds for Germany.
