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

@klykke89 said in Novgorod Amphibious Assault:

If you place your invasion fleet in seazone 112… Could´t you just attack Novogrod through seazone 127?

The Sub dosent block youor move as I read it.

You can, but if you stay in the baltic you can use the fleet to ferry inf +art from germany to novgorod the next turn as well. Making that 3 unit factory a 7 or 9 unit factory ( by moving from germany directly there each turn ) speeding up your attack and having more units available.

Inf + art is same attack as mech+tank but you save 3 ipcs.

Good point - It was a Backup ideer :)

@ShadowHAwk:

@wittmann:

1. Yes.
2. Yes. Each scrambling Fighter would get one roll of 4 to hit and sink one TT, with its cargo onboard. On the next turn the attacker could retreat any surviving Transports. (Or stay and try an be sunk again, naturally,)
3. A Sub is ignored, unless a Scramble happens, then it is in the fight.
You did realise, however, that a Sub forbids an amphibious assault, if the Transport(s) is not escorted?

Where is that rule in the book? I heared from it but in my game this weekend i could not find it.

Thought that transports can only ignore subs if they got a warship sailing with them.

See the rulebook:
@rulebook:

Transports
….
However, a transport is not allowed to offload land units for an amphibious assault in a sea zone containing 1 or more ignored enemy submarines unless at least 1 warship belonging to the attacking power is also present in the sea zone at the end of the Combat Move phase.

So the requirement of an escorting warship applies to the ability to unload troops (not to ignore a submarine).

HTH :-)

Lots of good options for G1 builds, but here are my personal thoughts. Two bombers can help Sea Lion in the following way:
Clean up residual ships on G2 to prevent ship blocks Bomb London on G2, doing ~9 points of additional damage to the factory which reduces the number of infantry built on UK2. Join in on the London raid on G3, contributing 8 more attack power (equivalent of 2 transports loaded with infantry + art) for approximately the same purchase cost Attack the Russian response on G4-G5; bomb Russian factories along the front. Attack the US Navy trying to liberate UK on G4-G10ish
Additionally the two bombers are quite useful to bomb Moscow and support a Barbarosa if Sea Lion is not an option. It is not as optimal of a build of 6 art + 2 inf for marching into Russia, but still is very beneficial.

:-D

@Europe:

In the event that you purchased more units than you can
actually mobilize due to production limitations, you must
return the over-produced units to the box (your choice of
units), and the cost of the units is reimbursed to you.

i never noticed this rule before. it opens up an interesting overpurchase tactic.

I don’t think a turn 1 invasion would turn out well.

Thanks for the post, Frank. Yep, you pretty much summed up a few of the many reasons why OOB is fatally flawed, and you have the 30-35 games to back it up.

I get the feeling from my few games of Alpha2 so far (not going too crazy playing it - just a couple games at a time because it will probably be changed anyway) that the Allies still have a significant advantage in Alpha2. But I have to admit none of the games have lasted even more than a few rounds (with the Axis getting obliterated each time) so maybe those oil field NO’s could really come into play sometimes I suppose.

To me, Russia and USA have suffocating power (Russia is very deep, and as Larry himself acknowledged - he wondered if it was 1 territory too deep), and the UK can be very powerful as well.

Q

@jim010:

Assuming no scrambling:

NCM

sz111 to sz112
1 tac

sz111 to W Ger
1 fht, 1 tac

sz110 to sz112
1 fht

sz110 to W Ger
2 fht, 3 tac

If you didn’t hit sz112 with the fht and tac, send tham to S Ital. Everything else, as long as you activate Fin and Bulg, and send enough Inf to W Ger or Ger to be able to fill up 12 TTs, you are good.

Jimbo,

you’re right on with the stats. I’m too chicken to play without the ftr and tac to z112, though I need to try it. If you lose z112 on bad dice though are you might be done for.
