[gambit78]

Will your FTR conduct an intercept? If yes, note that you may not use/move it in G3.

[Spitfire38]

Yes, I want to use it as an intercept. But it can still move on G3- the rules state that fighters participating can’t be in any other battles that turn…which means that if there was an amphibious assault or a ground battle, my plane could not participate. But it does not tie up my plane for MY German turn-just for the duration of the US turn. This is how it is in the other games as well (G40, Europe, etc).

If you can prove the rules otherwise, then I will keep it grounded.

Thanks!

[gambit78]

Yes you are right, I’m sorry I was mistaken.

US high command and the bomber crews pay dearly for a lack of  fighter escort.  :cry:

Well I hope you have a great time and good New Year!

Russia has reared its ugly head  :evil: I only hope G3 staved off the various attacks haha. I’m content with the results, although Egypt was a bit dicey and nerve-wracking!!

As I saw on another thread, “may the dice be fair!”

[gambit78]

Thank you!
But 1942/43 is turning downright ugly. What a rookie mistake, i didn’t see that the fleet was in range of your fighter squadrons. What a massacre…

By the way, what objectives are we playing for? How many cities?

[Spitfire38]

I’m going with the standard 9 cities for victory. That’s the usual rules…
