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

@allister

BM4 refers to the “Balanced Mod [4th edition]”. It’s broadly similar to the original Global 1940 with some minor modifications and additions to make it more balanced.

If you’re trying to use one of these for Pacific 1940 2nd edition (no modifications), then you’ll have to do a few things to make it work. You’ll have to ignore the European nations and all the new additions. Keep in mind that the US has significantly fewer national objectives in the Pacific-only map as opposed to the European map (tip: If a national objective mentions a territory not on the board, it’s a good indicator that it’s not in the Pacific-only version). You’ll need to still consult the rules to account for all the changes though.

@Cow:

Optimal sea lion / feign.

Been debating if normandy or southern france or neither is better for round 1.

Purchase Units - Germans
Germans buy 1 carrier and 2 transports; Remaining resources: 0 PUs;

Combat Move - Germans
1 submarine moved from 117 Sea Zone to 106 Sea Zone
1 submarine moved from 103 Sea Zone to 106 Sea Zone
1 submarine moved from 108 Sea Zone to 110 Sea Zone
1 submarine moved from 118 Sea Zone to 111 Sea Zone
1 submarine moved from 124 Sea Zone to 111 Sea Zone
1 battleship moved from 113 Sea Zone to 110 Sea Zone
1 fighter moved from Holland Belgium to 110 Sea Zone
1 fighter moved from Norway to 111 Sea Zone
1 tactical_bomber moved from Germany to 110 Sea Zone
2 fighters and 2 tactical_bombers moved from Western Germany to 110 Sea Zone
1 tactical_bomber moved from Western Germany to 111 Sea Zone
2 bombers moved from Germany to 111 Sea Zone
2 artilleries and 6 infantry moved from Greater Southern Germany to Yugoslavia
3 armour moved from Greater Southern Germany to France
3 armour, 2 artilleries and 4 infantry moved from Holland Belgium to France
1 artillery, 3 infantry and 1 mech_infantrys moved from Western Germany to France
3 mech west moved from West Germany to Southern France.
1 tactical_bomber moved from Poland to Yugoslavia
1 fighter moved from Hungary to Southern France

ncm

tactical fighter yugoslavia-> Southern Italy.
fighter southern france -> northern italy.
Rest of the air lands west germany, except the one tactical fighter to sz 112 (it has one movement left only).
cruiser transport-> sz 112
shuffle 2 inf from denmark->norway.
1 inf norway->finland.
2 arty germany->west germany
Rest of germany-> poland.
1 inf romania-> bulgaria
2 inf hungary->poland
~

This is like the basic sea lion but with some minor adjustments. You are doing Southern france. You power slam Yugoslavia.

You can make 71 income potential (if convoys from the french miss) 9 transports and a dd purchase… potential… you can drop 6 units on to scotland in round 2 then pick up 6 more units and drop. Bringing the total drop count to 6+6+18… 30 units. Plus your air. Italy can bomb an airbase if necessary. Italy can land a fighter onto scotland to scramble to defend transports if necessary as well (against the 1 french fighter).

Even if you make 68 only… that is still 28 units + air drop potential. Southern France is nice because if Naval goes to gibraltar you can blast it.

This is an excellent write-up by a seemingly controversial character on these forums. The strategy is sound though.

I have, in general, purchased a naval base for Japan anyway, since it allows for a quick dash to India or down to Australia from that sea zone. Yes, you can get to both from Malaya, but as pointed out, it’s not a one step jump from Japan to Malaya and back to Japan.

I also find that 8 transports is the magic number for Japan anyway. It’s just so flexible.

Just played a game of Global A&A today. I played Japan and Italy, and a friend of mine played germany. I (being used to europe 1940 A&A) said sea lion is a money trap. Now in my opinion sea-lion is twice as effective as a Russian attack, this is because it can eliminate a major allied power very soon in the game. On the other hand if Russia is invaded, than it can offer two quick VCs to the axis cause where a sea-lion would only offer one. So my opinion is split. The one thing I can agree with is that Sea-lion is very viable plan to destroy the allies unlike the lack of time in Europe because of the undivided american attention.

@gamerman01:

@Dark_Destroyer:

China can ignore the Neutrality rules? I know China is a special case but… that doesn’t seem very logical. The rules say you can move into those 2 spots… but doesn’t say you can ignore neutrality.

UK is not neutral. She is at war with Germany and Italy.

But United Kingdom and India are 2 different powers. The only thing they share are Techs. United Kingdom can actually declare war on Japan and India still be Neutral…. ?

Read it nevermind lol, Uk can’t do that. Another Illogical thing to add :(

end note UK split = Nonsensical, really needed to do a better job at seperating the two. When UK falls, India can not pick up IPC from fighting in the Middle East. Very unreasonable.

I’ll add a vote for J2, so you can take India on J3.

Yes its one turn early, but its not that huge of a swing, esp if Japan can go up nearly 20 with the UK going down 7 for the US to go up 30.
