No, I would have to say that move is impossible. The farthest that sub could move towards Africa is down to be just north of France. Sounds like someone pulled a fast one there, man. :-?

If the FIG is killed, the AC does NOT have to move; and can in fact make any other NCM it wishes.

If the FIG lives, the AC MUST go to the designated SZ to recover the FIG.

@TATCCITW:

Yeah but what if they attacked? What if there were subs present and they submerged.
And the other possibility I was thinking of, let say that Ger has a fleet next to Uk in SZ7. Uk has two fighters four spaces away from SZ7. Can those fighters attack when a CV has been purchased knowing they’d land there if they survived?

The fighters could legally attack, since the placement of the carrier would allow them a landing spot. However, since they used all of their movement to get to the battle, they would have none left to retreat, so it would be a fight to the death. The fighters would either clear the sea zone (including possible submerging by subs) or be destroyed. If the fighters survive, the carrier must be placed in the sea zone. If they don’t the carrier could still be placed in the sea zone, or it could be placed in another sea zone if there is another one available.

Edit: Just to be clear, this answer applies only to LHTR, as using all of a fighter’s movement for combat movement would be legal under the box rules only if an existing carrier moved into the sea zone during either Combat or Noncombat Movement.

BTW, that submarine does not become useless once the Germans lose the ability to win against the Allied navy/navies.

I like to send it to Southern Africa to ‘persuade’ Japan not to make a Brazil run, at least, force Japan to commit more to a Brazil run then what is normal and optimal. It also keeps Japan honest by not leaving transports out there undefended.

And, finally, I’ve had a situation where Japan FORGOT the Russian submarine was down there by Madagascar and been able to attack his battleship and 3 transports with 3 fighters and a submarine. Odds are, he only gets one hit, you get 2, that’s a good trade! Japanese transport which is useful for Russian submarine which is not so useful. (I actually got 3 hits to his 1 that time, but I was lucky.)

Yes, allied units can occupy the same territory.

Want to add that axis can also be in same territory for defense etc.

@ShadowHAwk:

Can i agree with the fact that in the current rules the carrier does NOT have to move if the fighter was destroyed, but at the same time not agree with the rules itself ?

Because it is not logical that the carrier does not start its move to meet up with the figher at the same time since it it start after the figher completed its move in a normal situation it would not be there on time to catch the aircraft.

Basicaly the time it takes for the carrier to get there is the same as the time it takes for the fighter to get there and since the carrier needs to be there at the same time in order for the pilot to remain dry it logical should start sailing in the general direction of the pickup point.

Since the Fighter in question could be “flying” from Gibraltar to the Caucus in one turn, I don’t think the model of aircraft taking off and landing as part of a days flight operations on a Carrier quite applies. Especially since Naval aircraft are built very differently from land based aircraft yet the game makes no difference between the two.

@CrazyStraw:

Howdy.

I hadn’t weighed in on this thread, but I just got a story to tell.

Yesterday I played a game against a good player. It was time-limited.

No joke, in a 5 round game I built 9tra 1car with Germany.

And it WON the game for me!

It was ridiculous!

It was absurd!

It was outrageous!

It was sublime…

So German boats can be good. That would have been excessive in 99% of the games I’ve played, but yesterday it was exactly enough to get the job done. Simple lesson: the Baltic is important.

I begin to see the value in LL / No Luck games and in non-time limited games.

My entire strategies in my tournament game had to change because of a time limit. It caused a waste of two turns because I forgot to take into account that there was a time limit in each round. (not a round limit, that would have been easy to work with, but a time limit.)

needless to say, I’m never making that mistake again!
