Glossary to help making the rulebook easier to read:
A round is “each nations has their turn to play”
A turn is “This nations has its turn to play”.
So, the UK player moving all its pieces is “a turn”.
I believe I reviewed a game (and I just did it) in which a player sent one sub against a large fleet and sent the planes in to do some dirty work. They eliminated the ground units but because the sub lost the actual battle had to ditch into the sea. And it was all legal. Did I understand that correctly?
@crockett36 page 29, 30. Seems clear AND extremely sneaky!
Yes, that’s a nice tactic, and its legal. The sub has a chance bigger than 0% to destroy the fleet, even if chancesare only 0.000033%. A carrier could then move in during non-combat, and a theoretical landing spot could be proven before the battle.
The above is void if there was indeed no carrier nearby who could move in to have the planes land. So if there is no landing spot, not even a highly unlikely one, the move is indeed illegal. I hope I could make myself understood 🙂
@Martin You did. Agree.
