Also! I am unclear on whether this decision is made immediately after the battle (it IS my last combat roll anyway) or if it’s made later. I don’t see where the rulebook specified this either, so I would think it’s immediately after the end of that roll.
That is assuming there is a choice at all. Even if fighters must actually only land on islands (I can’t imagine this is the case, but you’ve clarified stranger things before) there would definitely be a choice in the case of multinational carriers, so there must be some specific point in time a defender must decide where widowed planes land. -
Oh, and interesting that TripleA landed the fighter on Japan right now and did not give a choice.
But I never assume TripleA is correct. 😏
-
Japan is the only legal landing.
Sadly, with the demise of several email pbem clubs, 20+ years of decisions, some even made by Larry Harris are GONE.
-
Great, and interesting!
Does this mean stranded carriers off a coastline, like California or Kwangtung, would drown? That the rulebook is literal and correct? If so, WOW!!

yep
Rule got changed in AAR

Agh my hours are being grabbed from me so won’t be able to finish this afternoon

@The_Good_Captain I suspect @leemorrison wants to land on Japan and not Manchuria anyway.
The question is, has this rule ever been officially clarified to correct it from “islands” to “adjacent land territory”? I don’t see it in the rules clarification either.Fighters can land on another friendly carrier in the same sea zone or on a friendly island in the same sea zone.
That’s it.

Fascinating!! Thanks!

My posting isn’t working, sometimes the site doesn’t allow it for a bit.
I’ll upload the save file now, and hopefully it will be playable going forward, but if not, worst case scenario I’ll have to re-enact the UK turn and edit for the actual dice result
