@Dylan:
He bought a carrier and didn’t put planes on it
You kept sinking it.
What’s your avatar say?
something Canada’s higher then the US in?
Higher than the US in? I think you are following the example of Bill Maher’s ‘recreational use’ a bit too much. Or is is the number of blah blah blahs typically uttered? In any event, knowing the rules of the game is paramount in being able to play it or offer advice on it. For the record Dylan, in Spring 42 (not sure what version of AA the rule changed in, anyone?) you can leave planes in a SZ where the carrier is to be built during your non-combat moves, moreover, newly built planes can be placed on your carrier if it is in a SZ adjacent to an IC. Newly built planes CANNOT be built on allied CVs however.

I just searched Canada vs US in google images.

This recently came up in an AA50 game I played, and according to the Anniversary Edition rulebook pdf I have on my computer newly built fighters CAN be placed on existing carriers in an adjacent SZ. I learned to play A&A from 1942 here and I’ve always remembered what you just mentioned here about new fighters NOT being able to be placed on existing carriers, only on new carriers. I assumed AA50 was the same way since the rules are almost identical between it and 1942 (so that 1942 is often described as Revised with AA50 rules), so I was confused because I did not notice that change in the rulebooks. So I thought it would be important to others to point out this one difference between AA50 and AA42, if this is indeed the case.

Krieghund has the final say but I’ll take a crack at this. Fighters CAN be built on existing carriers in an adjacent seazone. However, newly built fighters CANNOT be placed on a friendly carrier of a different power/nationality. This rule would be true for Spring 42 and AA50.

Ah, I understand your point about the difference now. Perhaps I misread it in the 1942 rulebook initially like I did here in your first post. Krieg? Is there a difference between the rules in AE and 42 regarding placement of newly built fighters on existing carriers?
Stories?

It’s the same wording on both manuals (AA50 and AA42), even on the same page for both (pag. 22): “You cannot place a new fighter on a carrier owned by a friendly power”.
Well, I’m just one silly confused person then.
in 1 game, the americans tried to take tokyo twice but failed
