Re: Question about damaged carrier and planes landing

Hello

Can a damaged carrier keep attacking in round 2 of the sea battle in an amphibious assault?

The carrier took a hit in the 1st round of sea battle because it had no planes on it.

Can it roll for an attack on round 2?

Hi @allister

well, it doesn’t have an attack value, so it can’t attack. It can stay in the battle and soak up another hit though

I would add that you can consider the sub rules as an exploitable loophole, but I would say they refect the very real problems subs caused in naval battles. One unaccounted sub could cause massive disruption to a naval force (hello HMS Ark Royal)

The carrier is simply something to help give your fleet a backbone and protects everything in 112 and means you don’t have to land a t bomber in Holland (from Germany). It protects your transports if you are threatening sea lion and can be used to protect sea units at Gibraltar or 127 (Archangel). If you can get it to the Mediterranean Sea it can really help Italy too. The only con is that it does virtually nothing against Russia.
So basically, do you think being in 112 is useful? Do you like to threaten (not take) Sea Lion to help Itake? Do you like hoping Italy in the Med? Do you like taking Gibraltar? Maybe getting South Africa every ten games? Do you like feigning Sea Lion then hitting Leningrad? If you answered yes to any of these, a carrier can be useful.

And it would be possible as well. Most times when Japan attacks round 1, it involves all the ships leaving SZ 6 and all the planes leaving Japan, so there would be nothing to defend those shiny new transports.

@Cmdr:

I like bizarre moves.Â For non-regulation games (non-tournament, non-league) because it puts the other player off and might show you something neat that you can use for regulation play.

I’ve seen MANY players land Germany in Brazil and put a complex there.Â Good way to annoy the crud out of America (Italy would be better, but sometimes they’re not in a position too.)

Seen invasions of Canada as well (in Alpha 3.9 no less!) with mixed effects.Â What happened there, once, was that the landing happened, America went full ground forces and japan sunk the American navy - it was a suicide move, but it worked.Â Germany lost like 200IPC worth of ground units, but AMerica lost at least that much in naval units, probably more.

So bizarre moves have their purpose.Â Canadian shield was bizarre, then mainstream, then bizarre again.Â (And yes, I’ve been known to pull it out once or twice in a “classic” game since nO ONE sees it coming anymore!)

The US navy could not sneak out of the Pacific?

@calvinhobbesliker:

@MEGAEINSTEIN:

even durind an amphibious assault?

Yes. Planes can always retreat. The only things that can’t are units which came via transports

But to add:

If the amphibious assault is called off during the naval battle before the units on the transports disembark, any planes (and land units attacking from other territories) that commited to that fight still have to go through one round of combat before they can retreat.

@Flashman:

I was thinking of adding a “Persian Corridor” around here along the lines of the Burma Road. Being able to use the Caspian would be vital in this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_Corridor

In our game, the US player moved 4-5 ftr from Persia to Moscow, and inconsciously he remade the history :-)

It’s a fine strategy for the US to take Persia for himself and build there a minor complex to send reinforcements in Russia, and it’s historically accurate.

Gotta correct you on that Dessert Fox.

If a naval battle occurs in the sea zone prior to the amphibious assault, then you have the option of retreating your navy as per normal BEFORE any round of fire. This includes the transports involved.

If the naval battle is resolved and the land units are offloaded into the hostile territory, THEN they cannot be retreated and are forced to fight it out.

If you realize in time that your navy is not gonna last against the defending one in that sea zone before the amphibious assault can even go through, you don’t HAVE to sentence your entire navy (transports included) to now certain death. You declare an amphibious assault assuming that you can win the sea battle, but the sea battle itself can play out just like any other.
