Hi Panzer,
A Heavy Aircraft Carrier unit must be undamaged in order to carry any air units.
This is the release of the Strategic Component: Air Fleet.
As well as the landbased Armies and Army Groups can perform Strategic Operations, we have now also added the Air Fleet Commander and Air Fleet to perform misions on a strategic level.
See the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion thread for further information.
Looks epic đđ»đȘđ»
@The-Captain Looks interesting! One clarification question. If Army Group is active in attacking or defending a territory, can an Air Fleet be active as well?? I would assume yes but please confirm. Thanks!
Letâs go!
Iâm curious how giving Air Commanders to Japan and Britain affect game balance and whether they can be integrated.
Yes - an Air Fleet can defend together with any Army.
Note:
During Capital Defense a maximum of 2 Air Fleets can defend together - even if there is also 2 Armies defending in that Capital.
In other words: a Berlin, Moscow and Washington can now be defended on a massive scale.
@The-Captain Wow. I think one of the effects could be UK having to be even more aware of Home Defense at least until the Yanks get into the fight.
The rules concerning Air Fleet Commander has been clarified & updated with the following:
âAn Air Fleet can only attack from or defend in a territory or an island.â
The rules concerning Air Fleet Commander has been clarified & updated - see more the revised attached pdf file for information at Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
This rule is simply one of the best and most flexible additions to the G40 HRE. Finally the Air War is upgraded.
Our game experience shows that the Soviets can use the Air Fleet Commander with great success - especially when US and/or UK send their Lend-Lease Air Units to the Soviets.
Germany usually have at least 2 Luftflotte - operating on the Eastern Front and in the Western Europe sphere.
