If you mean with one Transport, then no.
You can only unload into one territory, even if you have two ground units.
You can pick up from two different territories. Never unload into two.
UK cannot get the 5 NO on T1, as it only has two Transports and three Islands to capture.
Another question:
1 Example:
��� forces doing amphibious assault on Philippines (1 transport with 2 inf., fighter, 2 strategic bombers, destroyer, submarine and battleship). US have 2 infantry and fighter on island and destroyer , submarine in sea zone 35. So first there is sea battle and all US ships were destroyed + scrambled fighter. And then ��� player try to take island by ampibious attack. In that case which units can participe in attack? Only 2 infantry on transport? Or maybe every forces (without sub), or inf and planes only?
2 Example:
Jap forces ( few ships, planes and transport with ground units) move from Japan on Midway (where is only airbase). Can 2 Aircraft Carrires go there and then attack by planes adjacement area (Hawaiian Islands)?
You choose if you want your Air units to attack the fleet or the Island’s ground forces.
Remember that if you do not clear the SZ, you cannot land amphibiously. Make your choice accordingly.
Whatever happens if there is a sea battle, you will not get a Bombardment.
Equally, the defending US player has to decide if he wants to scramble or not.
There is a kind of double bluff involved making for a fun time!
2 Example:
��� forces ( few ships, planes and transport with ground units) move from Japan on Midway (where is only airbase). Can 2 Aircraft Carrires go there and then attack by planes adjacement area (Hawaiian Islands)?
Thanks again, and 2nd question?
I found something like that:
Movement of airplanes is counted from starting position. The planes take off and the carrier moves seperate.
So it mean planes in that case are moving with ship 3 sea zones?
Another question:
Example:
Japan forces attack from Wake Islands US forces on Hawaiian Islands (there was sea battle and amphibious attack), unfortunately japan forces had to retreat. So 2 damaged AC 1 transport with 1 infantry and some ships moved to SZ around Wake Islands back.
My questions are:
If in US turn will be attack on Wake Islands can planes from damged AC (which landed on Wake Island) do scramble?
Where should be retreated jap infantry on island or on transport ship around?
Yes. Air units can attack Hawaiian SZ from Japan or the Japanese SZ and land on a Carrier off Midway.
Remember that the Carriers can wait and move in noncombat to collect the Air units, bearing in mind that if you lose the Air units, they do not need to move to the SZ at all.
In your last example up to 3 Japanese Fts or Tacs could scramble to defend their fleet off Wake, if the Air Base(AB) was undamaged.
Can I clarify that Japan owned Wake before its failed attack on Hawaii?
I ask as you can only land Air units on a Territory you owned at the beginning of your turn. Not one you just captured.
Otherwise the Air units would crash into the sea.
The Infantry on the Japanese Transport(AP) are still on the Transport. If the AP is sunk in the US counterattack, the cargo (ground units) is lost too.
Thanks!
Wake belonged to me.
1 more question:
1.Example:
Japan captured Qeensland and in next combat move turn they wanna to attack Sydney by ground forces from Queensland (artillery and infantry). Japan have also AC and Battleship on SZ around Sydney. So my question is: Can Battleship do bombardment from SZ if i’m not use transport ship in this attack? Of course planes from AC will be assist.
No. You can only Bombard if an amphibious assault is taking place.
The two units could get back on the Transport of course, then unload into Sydney.
Thanks again!
We play Pacific 1940 first edition but on Alpha +3 rules
Where can i buy Europe 1940 first edition with option shipping to Europe?
I am in England and use Amazon. Surely you too can source Amazon in Poland.
The Second edition has better sculpts and the latest rules. Consider buying that instead. Price should be much the same.
I also find it strange that you bought Pacific first, if you are European.
Have you an interest in that theatre? I am a European theatre man: Germany and Russia and Normandy to Berlin especially.
I bought it from some polish boradgaming forum user. It was pretty new and cheap (45 euros). Now i know i wanna play Global :).
I see. Try it out first to see if you like it.
That makes sense; they are not cheap.
Question about scramble:
A quick reaction team of no more than 3 defending fighters and/or tactical bombers (strategic bombers can’t scramble)
located on each island or coastal territory that has an operative air base can be scrambled to defend against attacks in the
sea zones adjacent to those territories. These air units can be scrambled to help friendly units in adjacent sea zones that have
come under attack. They can also be scrambled to resist amphibious assaults from adjacent sea zones, whether or not the
territory being assaulted is the territory containing the air base. They may defend against the enemy ships conducting the
amphibious assault even if friendly ships are not present.
If i’m not mistaken it means if amphibious attack is started i can scramble even if there isn’t any airbase? (only at least 1 plane?). And if i wanna do scramble in normal defense i need airbase?
Page 14 in the Pac. book 1st Edit. 2010
Located on Islands that have an operative airbases can be scrambled (Fighters & Tact.'s)
They can defend on the ground, regular defense.
Or they can scramble, to stop the boats
No Airbase is needed for regular defense, one is needed for scrambling
The out of box set up has changed a little from the 2010 game compared to the 2012 game.
Go to the Global section to check out the set up charts
I own both the 2010 & the 2012 Global sets
I look at it like that I spend the money for the games and I have hours of fun week after week, for the price I paid compared to the number of games played the cost is less than a dollar per game and it goes down every time I play
Hey again!
One question after today’s game:)
Can my fleet (in state of war) pass through SZ with an occupied island (some infantry) withou stopping? I know when your unit enter on hostile terriotry must stop but island is spearate territory than SZ?
Afternoon Suprtramp.
Yes it can. Only Navy blocks naval movement(or a Strait of course!).
An island is a separate territory, yes.
Can i use planes from AC to attack adjacent SZ and return planes to AC after attack? AC doesn’t move ofc.
Yes. Any Fighter can move 4 in its turn, or 5 from an AB.
It could do as you say or fly further, as long as you have sufficient movement left to either return or land elsewhere, without ecceeding its remaining movement allowance. It does not have to return to the Carrier or Territory from where it came.
It must not fly somewhere if it cannot have a legitimate landing available in the non combat phase: no suicide missions or crashing into the sea for want of fuel!
In your example, if you have enough movement points left(would be 2 if the Carrier is adjacent to the Island) the Carrier could move 2 SZs away and the Ft follow it.
@wittmann:
Afternoon Suprtramp.

With the exception of Subs and Transports, which cannot block enemy movement by themselves.
