@SuperbattleshipYamato I like the ideas/rules you mentioned. I will follow through on triple a.

Hi Trout,
- All Naval units must move at the same time during Combat Movement
- Escort units sweep for enemy Naval Mines
- Any Naval Mines that “survived” may now defend - casualties and detonated Naval Mines are removed immediately
- The Combat phase begins
Does this answer your question ?
-
@The-Captain Yes, it does - thanks. I think the carrier blowing up first rule makes them overpowered but looks like you understood that because it’s not included in the Tournament Rules. Maybe it’s just me but all of the rules where carriers die first make it all the more reason to question why battleships should ever be built - except for the Super Heavies.
-
The CVs and BBs alternate hits. So unless you need them for a big battle the CVs don’t go in on the attack. and if they do, you still get full movement for your Air. On defense only the 1 move for Air.
Anyway having a couple empty CVs in a big Fleet just to soak hits isn’t a bad idea. 2 HPs so same as a Escort or Sub cost wise.
-
@barnee Actually I just remembered that the new Naval Commander rule does boost battleships. So that will make it worthwhile to have one or two with the Commander rules. The alternate hits is in my opinion one of the reasons to not buy battleships and instead buy empty carriers which just seems kind of stupid. I think it’s realistic that in a navy battle, the dive bombers and submarines would focus on the carriers but naval mines not so much.

We suggest that players should be familiar with the G40 HRE Tournament Rules.
In 2026 we expect to launch a G40 HRE Tournament on TripleA.
We are working on the details now - and we should be able to bring more information soon.

I disagree. BBs are badass 4 hitters. They Bombard too. I still rarely buy them but they’re nice to have imo :) The hit soak is only 3 bucks to repair.
My Naval buys are usually CVs and support Ships, Subs, Trprts.

It seems I’ve asked this before but can a existing original Fctry go underground and be updated to Hvy Industry the same turn ?
I thought they could but now I’m not sure. New player was asking.
Thanks
-
Yes - this can occur in the same turn in the Purchase & Repair Units phase.
Remember:
Only the original owner of the Industrial Complex can upgrade to Heavy Industry Production. -
Right On
I thought that was the case but couldn’t remember :)
